How Long to Beat One Million Coins
Steam estimates a clear in around two hours. Individual English reviews report first clears from under an hour to 3.5 hours, while achievement-completion reports also vary widely. These are player self-reports, not a representative average or a time measured by this site.
The comparison uses the Steam description and 100 English reviews returned by the review API on 22 October 2026. Review text about a completed run is kept distinct from the account’s total playtime. Upgraded repeat clears and version-specific leaderboard times are not first-clear estimates.

Three clocks
These are examples from a non-random review sample, not minimum times, a median, or HowLongToBeat statistics. Older reviews can describe skill rules that changed in 1.2.
| Goal | Time people quote | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Empty the vault once | Publisher: around 2 hours. Review examples: 58 min, 90 min, 1h 44m, 2h 07m, and 3.5h | Steam reviews 238019926, 238132661, 238226982, 238207584, 238293560 |
| All current achievements | Review examples include under an hour, 84 min, 90 min, 3–4h, and almost 6h | Player self-reports: 238045689, 238087118, 238290440, 238212725, 238076063 |
| A fast board time | A 1.1 guide cites 11:03 as a past personal top. 1.2 reset the chase. | Community guide, not speedrun.com |
Why the times disagree
Time Is Money, the under-60-minute achievement, was at 20.1% on the Steam community page snapshot of 22 October 2026. That rate is not a distribution of first-clear times. Reviewers also describe upgraded repeat clears in 26–30 seconds; those are different from a fresh run and do not establish achievement eligibility.
The 30-minute YouTube title from Sifd (16 October 2026) is the creator’s claim. The 11:03 figure is BigButters saying they once held the 1.1 board. Neither number is an official world record.
Questions
Does 100% mean every coin?
The vault is already the 1,000,000-coin goal. Here 100% means the 16 current Steam achievements.
