Son of a Nutcracker!

I got it in all of 5 minutes -_-

Easiest achievement ever.

Everything should be covered here.

Visit the coliseum by clicking on the crossed swords icon on the HUD.

1. Start game

2. In the upper-right of your HUD, you will see a button with two purple swords on it. Click it.

3. Under "Lockdown" press "Play random team". It costs 200 Crowns* to play a single game.

4. Wait until you are put into a game. The snow map is called "Frostbite." If you do not get Frostbite you will have to retry until you do. It costs 200 Crowns each time.

5. Once on Frostbite, pick up clumps of snowballs by right clicking on them.

6. Hit someone with the snowballs by right clicking on them

*earn crowns by doing a mission in the clockworks.

Yeah I got the achievement. Shows up on game page but not on the gift page. Oh well I'm sure it will eventually.

hey is anyone else having a problem related to this achievement?

I already got the achievement as of about an hour ago, but Steam still hasn't shown me that I completed the objective for it yet. Did I do something wrong, or is Steam so backed up on their servers right now that its taking forever to update the objectives?

I did Dungeons of Dredmor, RO2, and Spiral Knights in less than 10minutes. I demand a challenge that isn't bugged.

i cant do it , i throwing snowballs on peoples and it didnt give me achievement

where is the clockworks?

Spiral Knights is not available in my region >:O

another way of doing it, instead of going to the clockworks, is reaching almost the end of the tutorial (don't walk through the barrier) and quitting and restarting. You'll be back at the start of the tut and can collect more coins as all of the things have respawned (including the treasure boxes) but your crowns will still be there.

I have an ingame achievement but Steam doesnt recognise it. I hate my life

I got coal from this one..it just takes a while for the gift pile thing to register you getting the achievement

Got lucky and completed this one quickly, but only got a 50% off Left4Dead2 coupon (already have it) :(
