The Secret Achievements of HearthPwn
So we have this awesome thing called the achievements system on HearthPwn. There have been a lot of inquiring minds to see if I would reveal all the secret achievements the site has before the shutdown.
Hell yeah, let's do it. If you go any further in this post, there are spoilers.
How Many Secrets?
Forty. There were forty secret achievements I created on HearthPwn (with some help from the kick-ass mod team) that were available for earning. The best part about secret achievements was coming up with the names. There were tons of references to help you figure out what you needed to do but unfortunately, not everyone was able to figure them all out but it was fun to send people on the hunt.
I do regret some of the references being very easy to not understand due to when you tried to go after the achievement, but in a way that made it more fun since you had to go on a proper search. Something like Nice Meme where you needed to create a deck with Ticking Abomination in it is tough to figure out unless you were around when the card was revealed. For those not in the know, Blizzard revealed Ticking Abomination after we were left in silence for just over two weeks since Frozen Throne has been announced. That is the card we were greeted with. The anger was insane!
That's Just Crazy
Although this has been spoiled in the past by some people, that's just crazy is indeed the craziest secret achievement HearthPwn had. As of writing only 221 community members earned the achievement!
What was the criteria you ask? Well, that's a secret! Okay, fine.
Visit the website every single day for an entire year. Yup, many of those who guessed the criteria for it were correct this whole time. The hardest part about it was being consistent in your arrivals. Due to the site being hosted in the Central American timezone, it was quite possible for you to technically visit the site on two different days in your country but really, we saw it as visits on the same day here. I don't believe the tracking was ever perfect but I am proud of being the first person to obtain the achievement and for Arthas, my bot, being one of the last.
More Crazy Secret Achievements
While we're talking about achievements that weren't earned by many, these are the top five rarest secret achievements outside of That's Just Crazy.
- [300] Now That's a Mad Lad - Visit Mad Hatter's card page.
- [378] Kira's Guardian - Create a deck using Bwonsamdi, the Dead.
- One of my favourite references since it is from Death Note, an anime favourite.
- Kira (killer) is the name given to Light Yagami by his followers. The Guardian of Kira is a shinigami (god of death) named Ryuk, which is a character Bwonsamdi in WoW really takes after.
- [565] HOWDY! - Visit Annoy-o-Tron's incredibly annoying brother's card page.
- The sound effect made by Annoy-o-Module
- [664] Death Note - Visit Bwonsamdi, the Dead's Card Page.
- So close to 666! Kira's Guardian explains this one.
- [677] That Incident - Create a deck using Hakkar, the Soulflayer.
- Reference to the Corrupted Blood incident.

I'm glad I'm one of the 221 people who won the that's just crazy achievement:-) (and living in the eu, so certainly possible). However I never checked the achievements so didn't know I was getting some hehe ;-)
So like, what's the reason as to why Hearthpwn is shutting down? To much maintenance? Database limitations? Outdated code base?
All of the above? :)
Thanks a lot!
I got the "That's just crazy" achievement in 22/7/2016!!! I cant remember how I knew what this achievemt is, but I remember hunting for it and making sure to log in from my phone even while on vacation.
Now that's crazy. Makes me sad thinking this site is shutting down, being here for so long.
Edit: Just remembered. While hunting for secret achievements, I noticed that those who had this one usually got it 265 days after the "log in 100 days in a row" one.
Hi, does someone know, why it doesn't give me the achievments for creating a deck? I'm all synced up with the site with Inkeeper and have the decks created in Hearthstone.
Do I need to also create manually a deck with them on site here? Or should I wait some time and then I'll get them? :)
Achievements that want you to make a deck with a card, you have to make hpwn deck, not ingame deck.
Achievements that work(ed) with inkeeper (to sync your collection) are marked as "IK".
Thanks a lot! :) I assume, we can only get new achievments until the site closes and is archived, correct?
Are our achievements also archieved? :)
I actually dont know, if you will still be able to get achievements like "visit a cards page" or even sync up your collection via Inkeeper after the site gets archived. Your collected achievements will definitely stay, and you will not be able to get ones that require you to create a deck or comment on stuff, for obvious reasons, but like i said, no idea if you will be able to trigger at least those that only require to visit certain page. Id assume yes, but have no idea in reality.
The only thing people will be able to do on HearthPwn after the shut down is read the site.
So sad.... T.T
I wonder if there’s an achievement for lurking on other websites just to direct traffic to your own
well and 3 from "classes" that don't need to be included in deck:
Tortollan Forager
Shadow Rager
