The First Step of Organizing

Easy

Complete your first full row by placing every book in that row on the correct shelf.

Tips

Pick a small shelf or a row with clear color cues so the “blue glow” feedback clicks right away.

Novice Mage

Easy

Unlock your first major magical ability.

Tips

Finishing early shelves quickly matters more than perfect routing at the start.

Intermediate Librarian

Medium

Complete 50 rows across the library.

Tips

Mix small shelves with a few large blocks so unlocks come steadily.

Veteran Librarian

Medium

Complete 200 rows across the library.

Tips

By now you should lean on Insight and Assemble—plan routes around cooldowns.

The Grand Librarian

Hard

Complete 400 rows across the library.

Tips

Save Auto Shelving bursts for when your hands are full after Assemble.

Sage of the Library

Medium

Unlock every major magical ability.

Tips

Row milestones are shared—keep chipping away at unfinished wings.

The Archmage

Hard

Max out every major spell level.

Tips

Prioritize Insight first for gathering, then Assemble for finishing series.

Life Hack Wizard

Medium

Unlock every minor magical upgrade.

Tips

Explore both floors thoroughly; some unlocks tie to overall progress.

Overtime Avoider

Hard

In the special stage, use your ultimate skill so books clear automatically before overtime pressure builds.

Tips

Save your ultimate for the wave where auto-clear matters most; practice the timing once on a safe run.

Efficiency Librarian

Very Hard

Finish the full library in under three hours.

Tips

Tackle small shelves first for skills, then chain Insight → Assemble → Auto Shelving on big wings.

Anti-Magic Master

Very Hard

Finish the game without using any major magical abilities.

Tips

Rely on maps, color memory, and the central table; move in loops instead of random crisscrossing.

You are Fired!

Unusual

Shuffle every one of the 3,072 books into random wrong spots, then leave without completing a single row.

Tips

This is a deliberate chaos run—plan extra time and expect “undo” to mean more sorting afterward.

Planning your run

Milestone achievements such as Intermediate Librarian and Veteran Librarian are natural by-products of a normal playthrough—just keep closing blue-glow rows. Ability-centric badges pair neatly with the advice in the efficiency guide, while challenge entries like You are Fired! deserve their own evening when you want surreal chaos instead of neatness.

If two goals conflict (for example Efficiency Librarian vs. a relaxed sightseeing pace), create two saves or replay from a checkpoint mentality—there is no punishment for enjoying both speeds.

Achievement questions

Is there a time limit?

No. You can play as long as you like. Only specific achievements (like Efficiency Librarian) ask you to finish under a time goal.

How many books are in the game?

3,072 books in total, spread across two floors and many themed sections.
