Fishbowl Trophy Guide: How to Unlock All 30 Trophies

Fishbowl is a quiet, narrative-driven game about spending a month at home with Alo, and its platinum is one of the most relaxed on PS5. There are 30 trophies total, 20 of them are missable, and the whole thing clocks in at roughly 8 hours across a single playthrough. The difficulty rating sits at 1/10 according to community guides, so this is less about skill and more about staying consistent with Alo's daily routine.

Alo's daily home routine tasks

The game spans 30 in-game days. You control when each day ends by choosing to sleep, which gives you flexibility. Miss too many tasks, though, and Alo's mental state deteriorates, and some trophies become permanently unavailable. Staying on top of the checklist is the entire strategy here.

Trophy breakdown and overview

Fishbowl has 30 trophies split across four tiers. Here's the full breakdown before getting into specifics:

The platinum, No matter what you got through the day, unlocks automatically once you collect all other trophies. You spent a month at home with Alo and collected all there was.

How to get the Coin Collector trophy

Coin Collector is a Gold trophy and one of the more involved non-story trophies. You need to find coins left behind by your landlady, Ms. Noor, with one coin hidden in a new location each day. Only 13 coins are required to unlock the trophy, meaning you can earn it as early as Day 13 if you find one every day.

The auto-save means missing a coin on a given day is not catastrophic. More locations open up through Day 27, giving you plenty of chances to catch up.

Here are the confirmed coin locations from Days 1 through 27, based on the Gamer Social Club Coin Collector guide:

How to get the Birthday Badges trophy

Birthday Badges is a Gold trophy that requires gathering badges across Alo's memories. The Gamer Social Club Birthday Badges guide covers each badge location in detail. The key is to engage with memory sequences as they appear throughout the month rather than skipping past them.
