FAQ

How many achievements does Scarlet Skips have?
One. Steam and SteamHunters both list a single achievement for Scarlet Skips as of the September 5, 2026 check: Off to a Great Start.
What is the Scarlet Skips achievement?
It is called Off to a Great Start, and its unlock text is "Die on the first jump." That text is surfaced by SteamHunters because the Steam storefront page itself only shows the name, not the condition.
How do I unlock Off to a Great Start?
Fail the first jump on purpose: start a run and do not press any input, so the rope hits Scarlet and she trips. A September 4 player guide reports this immediately unlocks the achievement. This is a player-tested method, not an official step list.
Is the achievement hard to get?
No. Community guides call it "VERY DIFFICULT" only as a joke—in practice you just have to avoid jumping once. It is among the easiest achievements you can earn.
What does 100% completion mean in Scarlet Skips?
Because there is only one achievement, unlocking Off to a Great Start completes 100% of the game. SteamHunters shows a 100% completion rate, but that reflects a very small tracked sample rather than the whole player base.

How many achievements does Scarlet Skips have?

As of September 5, 2026, Scarlet Skips has exactly one Steam achievement. Steam’s storefront lists a single achievement, and SteamHunters shows the same total (“1 achievements”). There is no second listed achievement to chase.

This is a launch-week count. The developer has said a hot-fix is in progress, so a later update could add achievements—recheck this page after patches before relying on it.

What is the Scarlet Skips achievement?

The achievement is called Off to a Great Start, and its unlock text is “Die on the first jump.” SteamHunters surfaces that text from Steam’s achievement data; the Steam storefront page itself shows the achievement’s name but not its condition, which is why the unlock text is easier to find on a data site than on the store page.

How do you unlock Off to a Great Start?

The unlock is deliberately failing the very first jump. A September 4, 2026 Steam community guide by punchedfruit and a GG Guides player test describe the same steps:

  1. Start a new run.
  2. If it is your first run, you can skip the intro cutscene by holding the left mouse button.
  3. Watch Scarlet swing the jump rope.
  4. As the rope approaches her feet, do not press the left mouse button, Space, W, Up Arrow, or any controller button.
  5. Let the rope hit Scarlet so she trips.
  6. The achievement unlocks, and you reach 100% completion.

Is Off to a Great Start actually hard?

No—it is about as easy as an achievement gets, because you earn it by doing nothing on the first jump. The community guide’s title calls it “VERY DIFFICULT” as a joke; that is satire, not a difficulty rating.

What does 100% completion mean in Scarlet Skips?

Because there is only one achievement, unlocking Off to a Great Start completes 100% of the game’s achievement list. SteamHunters shows a 100% completion rate (26 of 26 tracked), but that sample is tiny and reflects how trivially easy the single achievement is—it is not a statement about the whole player base.

There is no confirmed meta-progression, collectible, or second achievement to add to that 100%. The official description focuses on score-chasing rather than completion rewards. If the game later adds achievements, this page’s “one achievement” framing will need an update.

Where do achievements fit with endings and progression?

Scarlet Skips does not have a confirmed story ending or persistent unlock system; the single achievement is the only confirmed permanent marker. For that broader question, see the endings guide. For how the rest of a run works, read the complete run walkthrough, and for the controls referenced in the unlock steps, see how to play.
