Time To 1k - 3-5 Hours (if you have close access to Google), 5-10 (if you do not have nearby online access)
Ease Of Game - 3/10 (Very Easy)
Total Number Of People Needed To Boost Online Achievements - no online achievements
Notes:
The fastest way to 1k this game is download the FREE Movie Pack DLC from Xbox Live (click here to queue it up) and when you boot the game go to Options and select "Movie Pack ONLY". The DLC is much easier than the built in game questions because it's a lot smaller and you will get many repeats after six or so plays (which you will have to do to 1k the game anyways).
If you don't know the answer to a question at any time you can remove the battery from your controller or unplug it (if using a wired) and the in-game timer will pause. This let's you look up the answer on www.Google.com, www.IMDB.com, or whatever search engine is your favourite.
All the achievements can be done with one controller. You can assign up to four players to one controller and control each one, having them answer exactly the way you want (which will help with many achievements).
There is a trick to rolling the dice, if you watch the dice scroll across the screen there's a section of low numbers like 1's and 2's. When you see these, press the A button as fast as possible and you'll get a higher number. This is useful when trying to go to Wedge tiles as fast as you can.

Doing so will earn you a wedge piece and the achievement. If you answer wrong, quit out and start up a new game. When you get the first Worker wedge, you'll also earn the "First Wedge" achievement
Wedge Off Winner - 30 points
Win a Wedge Off (F&F)
This can only be unlocked in Facts And Friends Mode. Start a new game with your Main Profile and the default Player 2 profile (which you will be controlling). Both profiles MUST acquire one wedge first before a Wedge Off can be started. After they both have a wedge, make either profile land on a Bonus Event Tiles (which has a full puck icon on the board) until you get the Wedge Off Icon (which is an orange triangle with a bullseye on it). It's random when you get the icon, so it'll probably take you a few tries. The game will ask both players True or False questions, just make sure your Main Profile answers correctly to win Player 2's wedge and unlock the achievement

Wedge HQ Winner - 20 points
Win a wedge using the Wedge HQ space (F&F)
This can only be unlocked in Facts And Friends Mode. The Wedge HQ Spaces are the six tiles on the outside of the board, each one representing a different trivia category. All you need do is land on one and answer a correct question to win a wedge and the achievement.
Note: You can also unlock this on the big blue Trivial Pursuit tile in the center of the board by answering a correct question while on it
Wedge Domination - 50 points
Win all the wedges in a single game (F&F)
See Bet Your Bottom Dollar achievement for more information
Bet Your Bottom Dollar - 40 points
Win all your wedges by betting only (F&F)
This can only be unlocked in Facts And Friends Mode. Start a new game with your Main Profile and the default Player 2 profile (which you will be controlling). In F&F Mode, you earn points for answering a question along with betting if the other player knows the answer or not. Every four points per category, you earn a wedge automatically. You get two points for answering a question right and one point per successful bet.
To win a wedge by betting, all you have to do is bet on the fourth point whether your opponent knows the answer or not. With you controlling both players, this is quite easy because you can have them answer the way you want them to.
Before you start betting on the Wedges, make four successful bets against your opponent on the standard tiles. After that do six bets, only this time on the Wedges and earn them all. This will be a total of ten bets and earn you the "Wedge Domination", "Gambling Glory", "Gambling God", and the "Lucky Break" achievements on your way to "Bet Your Bottom Dollar".
NOTE: When betting against Player 2, you can select "I Know It!", which gets you two points instead of one if they answer wrong while you get it right. This DOESN'T count as a bet, but while you're going for the gambling achievements it'll speed up the process to get you to three points faster

The best way to do all the Capture The Boards achievements/objectives are:
1. Start and complete a Capture The Board game that is at least five minutes where you don't score too high and making sure you capture some regular tiles as well as Wedge HQ tiles. This will net you several Objectives
2. Start and complete a second Capture The Board game where you go for the Quick As a Flash objective along with the "Personal Best", "You Were A Blur" & "Straight To The Point" achievements
3. Start and complete a third Capture The Board game where you go for the "Personal Best" ACHIEVEMENT (NOT to be confused with the Objective of the same name). It is unlikely you will have earned this in the second playthrough as the "You Were A Blur" achievement won't score you very many points. If you don't earn both the "Personal Best" achievement and objective before going for the "You Know Too Much" achievement you won't be able to get it and will have to delete your save file off your hard drive and start over from scratch
4. Start a fourth Capture The Board game where you go for the "Maxed Out", "Objective Master", "Knowledge Is Invaluabe", & "You Know Too Much" achievements. You have to answer every question correct, doing so will give you a higher score multiplier each time. Once you've answered 10 questions correct in a category, you'll get a 10x multiplier above the Wedge HQ.
You cannot capture a Wedge HQ until you've gotten all six categories up to the 10x multiplier. This will give you the "Maxed Out" achievement. Once all six categories show a 10x, start capturing them one by one. Once you've captured all six, you will be asked on final bonus question to win the game. Answering it right will earn you the "You Know Too Much" achievement.
NOTE: To make this last game much easier on yourself, answer the first question correct while making sure Autosave is ON and then turn it OFF after your answer. Go through the entire board and find out eleven answers for each of the six trivia categories by answering wrong on purpose to see the correct answer, then it write down. Quit out and reload your save, and all the questions will be the same from the game you just quit. You will have all the answers now and can easily beat this mode without getting a question wrong
Maxed Out - 50 points
Achieve a x10 multiplier on every category (CTB)
See Objective Master achievement for more information
Personal Best - 10 points
Break your own high score (CTB)
This can only be unlocked in Clear The Board Mode. You must play and complete a game in this mode, then play another one where you score higher than you did in the first game to unlock the achievement
NOTE: Don't go for this achievement while going for the "Maxed Out" or "You Know Too Much" achievements. Do this achievement BEFORE you attempt either of those. The reason is doing those two achievements will earn you the game's maximum score of 100,800 and it is impossible to score higher than that
Straight To The Point - 20 points
Clear the board using only the Wedge HQ spaces
See You Were A Blur achievement for more information
Knowledge is Invaluable - 50 points
Break 60,000 points (CTB)
See Objective Master achievement for more information
You Were A Blur - 50 points
Clear the board in under 10 minutes
This can only be unlocked in Clear The Board Mode. The fastest way to do this is by ONLY capturing the Wedge HQ tiles on the outside of the board. If you land on a standard question tile answer wrong as quick as you can so that you may roll again for a chance to get to a Wedge HQ
NOTES: If you don't roll a six on your first try, quit the game and keep restarting until you do. That way your first move will be to a Wedge HQ. With a little practice using the dice trick, you can clear a board in under four minutes. If you ONLY capture Wedge HQ pieces, you will also unlock the "Straight To The Point" achievement as well.
*Don't go for this achievement until you have already played a game of Capture The Board that was longer than five minutes. For the "Objective Master" Achievement, there is an objective called Personal Best that requires you beat a previous CTB time, and if you clear the board in under four minutes it will be very hard to beat that time
You Know Too Much - 100 points
Clear the board without getting a question wrong
See Objective Master achievement for more information
Secret Achievements
Better luck next time - 10 points
Be the first person to lose all their lives in the end game phase (F&F)
This can only be unlocked in Facts And Friends Mode. Start a new game with your Main Profile and the default Player 2 profile (which you will be controlling). In Facts And Friends Mode during the "end game phase" each player gets a number of hearts depending on how many wedges they earned during the game. The game will ask both players a question, whoever gets it wrong loses a heart. The first player to lose all their hearts loses the game, but unlocks this achievement. Just make sure your Main Profile answers all the questions wrong to get this.
