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, so this is less about skill and more about staying consistent with Alo's daily routine.

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:

Bronze14

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.

What are all the story trophies in Fishbowl?

Several trophies unlock automatically as the story progresses. You cannot miss these as long as you're playing through the narrative:

  • Coffee Lover (Bronze): Make your first cup of coffee
  • Swimming in Boxes (Bronze): Receive all of Jaja's old things
  • Plant Petter (Bronze): Pet all the plants when Jaja asks
  • Well Fed & Flourishing (Bronze): Cook a dish from Jaja's recipe book
  • Star Amongst Many (Silver): Experience Alo's moment of wonder
  • Bubble Bather (Bronze): Take a bath in the bathtub (Ms. Noor fixes the plumbing on Day 8, making this unmissable)
  • Stuck with this Head (Silver): Experience Alo's moment of panic
  • Meet your Inside One (Gold): Complete the Inside One sequence

These require no special effort. Just keep playing.

How to get the missable trophies

These are the trophies that require deliberate action on specific days or across multiple days. This is where most players slip up.

Early game (Days 1-7)

  • Listened to Mum (Bronze): Eat dinner before going to bed on Day 1.
  • Hydrated Queen (Bronze): Drink water from the table. Do this early and often.

  • TOAST EATER! (Bronze): Eat toast repeatedly in a single day until Alo stops you.
  • Baby Step (Silver): On Day 7, you'll call Zu. Call someone else afterward to unlock this.
  • Video Editing Slay! (Silver): Reach a 30x combo in the Video Editing mini-game. The earliest opportunity is Day 2's editing session. Complete the session without mistakes.

  • Plant Caretaker (Silver): Water and interact with the plants every day from the earliest opportunity. Roses can bloom as early as Day 8.
  • Ecocat Hi-Score (Silver): On Day 10, you unpack game cartridges. Beat kid Alo's high score of 43 in the Ecocat game. This score is straightforward to beat.
  • Besties with Boo (Silver): An anti-virus named Boo appears on your computer as the story progresses. Click on him every day. The trophy unlocks around Monday, Day 19 if you bother him consistently.
  • A True Lil' Star! (Silver): Zu will ask you to invite people to her Fundraiser. Call Sitara right after Zu's call. The trophy itself triggers during the Fundraiser on Friday, Day 16.

  • Magic Paplet (Bronze): On Day 15, Paplet has a breakdown. Say yes when asked to play.

Late game (Days 18-30)

  • Book in a Nook (Bronze): Books become available on Day 22. Head to the window by the front door to read in the nook.
  • Jaja's Lil' Helper (Gold): Once you have the recipe book, you can cook twice per day. The second slot is for a drink. Choose the Rose Tea.
  • Teary and Pickled (Gold): On Day 30, cook yourself one last meal and eat Jaja's mango pickle.
  • Aloo My Lil' Poet! (Secret): Write a poem and choose to send it.

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:
