Funnel Runners Achievements: 35 Total and the Official List Source

How Many Achievements Does Funnel Runners Have?

The Steam store page for Funnel Runners lists 35 Steam Achievements as of 2026-07-31. The count is shown on the Steam listing's achievements panel and is the number the platform uses to populate the in-game achievement tracker and the Steam profile badge counter.

The count is the only stable number a launch-scope page should commit to. The per-achievement list changes as the developer ships patches (the most recent verified official patch is 0.35.15 on 2026-07-27), and any per-achievement name added or removed after that patch will not appear in older third-party snapshots. Treat 35 as a live total, not a frozen list.

If a future Steam News post changes the count, the next reading of the Steam store page is the source of truth. SteamDB mirrors the same number on its AppID 3712080 info page.

Where to Find the Official Funnel Runners Achievements List

The official list of Funnel Runners achievements lives in three places, ranked by trust:

1. The Funnel Runners Steam store page achievements panel. This is the official, developer-controlled list and is updated whenever a new patch ships.
2. The in-game achievements overlay inside the Steam client. The overlay shows the same list as the store, with a personal unlock status for each entry.
3. The SteamDB AppID 3712080 info page, which mirrors the Steam store list as a wiki/reference source. SteamDB is useful for historical comparison but should not be treated as the primary source for a current-game fact.

A small set of names is confirmed on the Steam store as of 2026-07-31, including Tire-d, Big Spender I, The Suck Zone, and Designated Driver. These are the entry points a launch-scope reference page can cite without rewriting on every patch. The full live list, including any new names added in patches after 0.35.15, must be read from the Steam store or the in-game overlay.

SteamDB as a Secondary Reference

SteamDB is a wiki/reference mirror of Steam store metadata. For Funnel Runners achievements, the SteamDB AppID 3712080 info page shows the same 35-entry total that the Steam store shows. It is a useful cross-check if the Steam store page is temporarily unreachable, but it is not the source of truth for current-game facts.

The SteamDB patch notes index for AppID 3712080 also lists when new achievements have been added across patches. The 0.35.15 patch dated 2026-07-27 is the most recent verified official patch evidence in the launch evidence base; if that patch added, removed, or renamed an achievement, SteamDB will show the diff against the previous build. Use the SteamDB index as a history tool, not as the live list.

If the Steam store and SteamDB ever disagree on the achievement count for Funnel Runners, the Steam store wins. The SteamDB page is a mirror and can lag by hours during a patch rollout.

A Note on Per-Achievement Strategy (General)

The Steam store description frames Funnel Runners as a 1-8 player co-op or solo run on a destructible American suburb, with the goal of scavenging parts, repairing the van, and escaping before the tornado tears the map apart. The achievement names confirmed on the store, including Tire-d (likely tied to van tires), Big Spender I (likely tied to in-run spending), The Suck Zone (likely tied to being caught in the tornado's pull), and Designated Driver (likely tied to driving the repaired van to escape), all point to run-completion milestones rather than meta-progression milestones.

General strategy notes that follow from this framing:

• Achievement progress is per-Steam-profile and per-save. Switching from solo to co-op does not reset your achievement progress, and joining a friend's lobby does not transfer unlocked achievements.
• The 20-minute loop described in the smartcdkeys launch article means a single achievement attempt is short. Plan multiple runs in one session if you are working toward a completion milestone.
• Co-op achievements (if any) typically require all members of the lobby to meet the unlock condition. The Steam store description does not list a separate co-op-only category, so the unlock rule will be visible in the in-game overlay.
• Some achievements (Designated Driver, for example) appear to require the full escape ending, which means the win condition must be met. The van-repair page covers the priority order that leads to a clean escape.
• Other achievements (Tire-d, The Suck Zone) appear to trigger on specific in-run events. Treat them as checklist items to chase during a normal Funnel Runners loop rather than as separate play modes.

If you want a structured first run that exposes the most achievement opportunities, the getting-started page covers the opening scavenging, van repair, and tornado survival in order. For per-system achievement hooks, the per-system pages (van-repair, tornado-storm, hazards, gadgets-items) call out the in-run events most likely to trigger a milestone.

Latest patch context: Achievement rework pass in Patch Notes #010 (27 Aug 2026)

Patch Notes #009 (20 Aug 2026) refreshed the HUD Moodlet details surface to reflect the new Papercut Moodlet (Patch Notes #008) and the rework inputs landing in the next patch. Patch Notes #010 (27 Aug 2026) shipped an achievement rework pass that rebalanced progress gating for several milestones tied to the new van repair surface (Lack of Brake Fluid, Broken Spark Plugs) and the five new mini-game types (Reaction, Aim, Effort, Logic, Match). The Steam store's 35-achievement count is unchanged by the rework, but the unlock conditions, progress meters, and per-achievement descriptions for the affected entries were updated. The named examples (Tire-d, Big Spender I, The Suck Zone, Designated Driver) on the Steam store panel remain visible, and the rework entries show the new descriptions on the live Steam store overlay.

The 35-achievement count remains the launch-scope statement for this page. Any future count change after a follow-up patch would appear in a Steam News post or the in-game Steam overlay.

Lore Archives and Historian I/II/III tiers (community wiki, Sep 2026)

Two third-party Funnel Runners wiki pages describe a Lore Archives progression chain that interacts with the achievements panel as three escalating tiers. The lore-archives guide and the APEX deployment guide are community wiki pages and are not confirmed in Steam News; nothing in this section overrides the 35-count Steam store fact above.

Historian I, II, III tier thresholds

The community wiki describes a three-tier Historian progression tied to Lore Archive collectibles. The threshold the wiki gives is 10 / 50 / 100 archives collected to unlock Historian I, Historian II, and Historian III respectively. Tier three is framed as a long-tail completion goal that overlaps with the existing achievements panel rather than as a separate category. Patch Notes #010 (27 Aug 2026) shipped an achievement rework pass, and the wiki describes this tier chain as still relevant after the rework; the wiki attribution does not commit to a Steam-side number change.

Cardboard box counting rule

The wiki describes a single in-van inventory slot — the cardboard box in the van — as the collection point for archives found during a run. The collection loop on the wiki is: find an archive, pick it up, and place it inside the cardboard box in the van. The cardboard box does not appear on the Steam store description as a named slot, so treat the cardboard-box-in-van counting rule as a community wiki framing rather than as a confirmed inventory mechanic.

Four archive categories

The APEX deployment guide describes four Lore Archive categories: Operational Logs (APEX deployment records), Research Notes (scientific data about F5 tornados), Personal Journals (from former contractors), and Classified Documents (rarest type with sensitive information). The same wiki page uses four achievement tiers (Easy, Medium, Hard, Hardcore) that are not the same as the Historian I/II/III chain above and are not confirmed in Steam News.

APEX as Advanced Predictive Environmental eXtraction

The lore-archives guide defines APEX as Advanced Predictive Environmental eXtraction, framed as the contractor agency whose deployment records, research notes, and personal journals make up the Lore Archives loop. The framing is wiki-only; the official Steam store description does not name APEX, Project Funnel, or the contractor agency, so treat any APEX-attributed motive or storyline as community wiki framing rather than Steam-confirmed lore.

What this adds to the achievement plan

For a player planning an archive-hunting run, the community wiki progression is: scavenge Lore Archives from any of the four categories, deposit them in the cardboard box in the van as they are found, and aim for 10 / 50 / 100 archives to trigger Historian I / II / III. The rework pass in Patch Notes #010 rebalanced some progress gates, so the wiki thresholds are best read as a planning reference rather than a fixed unlock contract. For the in-game route, the gadgets-items page covers the cardboard-box-in-van collection loop side, and the live Steam store overlay remains the source of truth for the actual unlock meters.
