As the method that is available to win the dice changes, I'll post the updated info in the individual link for the custom dice. 5/1/2017: A new way to get custom dice is to play the weekly challenge that is now out for both yahtzee with buddies/dice with buddies!
6/21/2017: Scopely has changed so many things since I wrote this but one thing that hasn't changed is that they are always coming out with new custom dice. Here is a link that shows images of the list as one, Yahtzee with Buddies & Dice with Buddies Custom Dice List.
You've started with the standard dice and see people with really cool dice and are wondering how to get them, huh? Here's how:
Click on the dice name below to get more detail and image of the dice:
Everyone starts off with the standard dice. The top left on the first row. Tapping on the particular dice will tell you what you have to do to get that particular dice. The first one is easy - just load and play the game.
The dice that you have activated show on your opponent's screen also. The locked dice are in the lower box. Scopely has sometimes gives you a themed dice when you purchase bonus rolls.
There are ads that show that you can get a random dice with the purchase of $99 worth of dice. I don't know if you can get dice that you've already earned but that sure would be a bummer.
Classic Dice - What everyone starts off with.
Sunshine Dice - Get Honorable Mention in a Tournament 50 times. I'm level 10 and haven't gotten even 1 yet. 2/10/2016 - I finally got my sunshine dice :)
Sunset Dice - Beat the Kris Kringroll Showdown Tower
Ice Cream Dice - Score 4 Yahtzees in One Game 5 times. I have one of these when I got lucky and scored 4 yahtzees and finished the game with 489. It helps to have some extra bonus rolls hanging around.
Beach Ball Dice - Defeat 25 different opponents in 24 hours. They don't have to be in the midnight to 11:59 p.m.. Just a rolling 24 hour period. Start a lot of games and play on.
Orange Dice - Play 30 days in a row. This one is easy; just play 30 days in a row. Really no skill since one doesn't have to win the games.
Skull and Bones Dice - Defeat 25 FB friends. Invite your friends to play and link to facebook to get credit. The in-app facebook connection is broken as of this date so it might be hard to start a game this way. But you can log onto the browser game to start it and continue on the app. I have to do this when a person gifts me a bonus roll.
Platinum Dice - Complete (+ claim) all 3 levels of Platinum Roller Achievments. I have 0.
Purple Dice - Claim Casino Red Dice and Blue Dice. (1 of 2). The blue dice are easy to get (win 5 games) but the red will require some effort. Once you earn and claim casino red dice, then the purple dice will be yours! The Precision Fail part of earning these is the hard part: Get a yahtzee of 1s and place it on chance, then score zero (0) on all other boxes.
Lady Bug Dice - Play 25 FB Friends. I have 19/25 at the moment. See comment onf Skull and Bones Dice.
Hearts Dice - Complete (+ claim) level II of all Precision Shooter achievements. These are hard because one has to score an exact total and it takes somebody to finish the game. There 21 different precision achievements.
Paw Prints Dice - Win 500 Games. A lot of time for this. Play long enough and you'll get it.
Pink Dice. Complete (+ claim) level II of all Upper Section achievements. I found this tough. Basically get yahtzee for the 1's, 2's, 3's, etc... 5 times each and the hardest for me was getting 4 of a kind for each of the upper section in one game! Have some bonus rolls. Remember, you have to do this 5 times (Level II) to get the achievement credit.
(Go for the upper section and don't be afraid of scoring zero in the lower section. Yes, you'll get a crappy lower score but get your achievement.)
Bronze Dice - Reach level 4 of the Biggest Winner 3 times in a row. 0/3 for me on this. Scopely has since changed this to winning 10 Bronze FastPlay games.
Casino Red Dice - Complete (+ claim) level II of all Trick Play achievements. I want this one and currently have 4 out of 9. I have since completed this but forgot to update (2/14/2016)
Gold Dice - Use 250 in-game Bonus Rolls in 24 Hours. I thought that I had to buy and use these rolls but found out that just playing a lot of games can achieve this. Just have to play like crazy on a weekend and see if scratchers help in getting extra rolls.
(I got the gold dice by starting a lot of games and using the FREE Bonus Roll that you get with each game right at the beginning of the game. Technically, the most you'd need is 250 games.)
Wood Dice - Get 50 Yahtzees in a single day. 50 Yahtzees!? Nice but only able to get 28 and that was tough. Play lots of games and go non-stop.
(I also got my wood dice in the same day for the gold dice. I started the game and went for Yahtzee on first move with that FREE Bonus Roll and I got it in a few hours.)
Spades Dice - Complete 250 games in 7 days (PvP or Tournament). This is another just play a lot of games challenge. Win or lose you get credit for the game. I currently use these.
Tiger Dice - Play 1000 Turns in a Day. Yikes, I got this one just by brute force. I don't want to use the word addicted. This is 73 games at least in one day.
Roman Numerals Dice - Complete 50 games in a day (PvP or Tournament). Another brute force kind of achievement. Play a lot of games. Your screen might get cluttered. I found some other buddies that played 3 and 4 games.
Ice Dice - Complete (+ claim) level II of all Three of a Kind achievement. I like these dice since they look cool.
Leopard Dice - Defeat 10 FB friends. Link your app to facebook and start playing!
Rainbow Dice - Complete (+ claim) level II of all Four of a Kind achievements. I used these and a lady asked if I was saying something by using these dice. I think they look nice but harder to read in actual use.
Silver Dice - Complete (+ claim) at least level II of Lower Section achievements. Like most achievements, check what is required and make a conscience effort to get them. The dice will come.
Blue Dice - Defeat 5 different opponents. This is one of the first that you will achieve. Pretty easy.
Halloween Cat (Green Kitty Face) - Win Fast Play Gold Tier 50 times.
Jack-o-Lantern - Obtain from Halloween Celebration Only.
Bats - Use 10 Bonus Rolls in a Daily Tournament match 50 times.
Halloween Dice - Spend 10 Bonus Rolls in a match 100 times.
2015 Pumpkin Dice - Defeat all the Dice Monsters before the season ends.
Black Dice - Defeat Dice Master Challenge.
Shamrock Green Dice - a.k.a. St. Paddy's fast play tournament
Tally Dice - Enter and win fast play Gold 3 times.
Pinkie Pie Dice - Complete My Little Pony Showdown
Peanut - Complete 300 Fast Play Bronze by 11/30 @ 11:59 PT

Fluttershy - Tournament Achievement
Sonic Rainbow - Tournament Achievement
Duel Dice - Don't know they just appeared tonight (11/24/2015). Sometimes they just give you some dice and give you a hint that something might be coming soon. Look at the little banner that popped up today. It does take a little getting used to the swords being the number one though.

As you can probably tell, some dice you just can't win - you have to buy them. What do you think about that?
Remember that if you see a question mark (?) on a showdown as the prize in a little box, that means that you'll receive a surprise random custom die!
Click on the dice name above to get more detail and image of the dice:
Can you tell me what the PvP is? The smores dice requirements changed, and now we need to use 10 bonus roles in the PvP 200 times. But I don't know what the PvP is. :(
ReplyDeleteThe PvP means player versus player. Since there are 13 moves per game, you'll need to use 10 of those 13 moves. Remember that you get 1 free bonus roll per game so only 9 of your own bonus rolls. 1800 of your own rolls? I'm not even trying.
DeleteHow did I get android dice
DeleteWe think it is a sweepstake reward as none of my friends have them. I don't know...anyone else?
DeleteI saw 2 other people that have them and they said they didn't know how but they just showed up. Does anybody have an answer?
DeleteYou get Android dice when you purchase the $4 dice pack that has the bonus custom dice that comes with it. I think its a limited time thing too, but unsure.
DeleteI got them!!! There is a sale for $2.99 and you get 18 bonus rolls and a set of custom dice. The android dice are the ones you get.
DeleteI really want the tiger dice..i had 522/1000 turns and i played my current games and started new ones and checked back and it still shows 522/1000..any one else have this?
DeleteIf you are stuck at 522 means that you didn't make it in time and it stays there until you start over and get past 522. I have these dice. Make sure you do it in the correct time frame - 24 hour versus in a day.
DeleteYou have to play 1000 rolls in 24 hours
DeleteWhat is level two of four of a kinda?
ReplyDeleteHi Charmaime,
Deletecheck this out:
http://yahtzee-with-buddies.blogspot.com/2015/10/yahtzee-with-buddies-achievements.html
It shows what all the achievements are!
Do you know what the 3 platinum achievements are the for the platinum dice?
ReplyDeleteWinning a Premium Tournament five times!!! Yikes.
DeleteWhat does the dice with the swords on stand for in the dueling dice?
ReplyDeleteThe duel dice were a gift from Scopely to hint at the upcomming duels. The swords are the number one (1). Many of the custom dice have a special symbol or character for the one.
DeleteWhat are trick play achievements? I want the casino red and have 7/9 but no clue what it is to get the other 2. Please help!
ReplyDelete1) Tie a game 5 times 2) Score only 5 pts in a game 5 times. 3) score 3 yahtzees in 1 game 5 times. 4) score yahtzee first roll 5 times. 5) yahtzee as last turn 5 times 6) score small straight one roll 5 times 7) 4 yahtzees in a game 5 times 8) large straight one roll 5 times 9) 0 on last move and win 5 times.
DeleteHelp. What are trick plays????
ReplyDeleteThey sure make it extremely hard to win the specialty dice.
ReplyDeleteUsually, winning the Daily or Premium will get you a custom set of dice for the particular season. Getting Winner's Circle (Top 10) in the premium tournament in yahtzee with buddies will get you awarded dice when they announce "win black diamond dice" etc...
DeleteWhat is the fairy in the Nutcracker showdowns
ReplyDeleteThe "fairy" is the last dice master to beat in the nutcracker challenge showdown in yahtzee with buddies.
Deletehttp://yahtzee-with-buddies.blogspot.com/2015/12/how-to-earn-nutcracker-dice-in-yahtzee.html
If you want to see what you have to do to unlock a certain dice, you have to click on the star at the bottom of the screen. Then swipe to the screen where you can see (and claim) your XP level and all possible acievements.
ReplyDeleteIf you look good u will see alle achievements are sorted in 12 parts. In the yellow bar you can read:
- Daily Achievement
- Basic Mastery
- Total Score
- Winner
- 3 of a kind
- 4 of a kind
- Upper Section
- Lower Section
- Trick Play
- Precise Score
- Tourney
- Dice Master Showdown
So for example:
If you want to unlock the "ICE Dice" you have to
"Complete (+claim) level II of all three of a kind achievements".
So you have to scroll down to "3 of kind" and you will see what you have to do to unlock the dice.
- Score 25 on 3 of a kind 125x
- Score 26 on 3 of a kind 25x
- Score 27 on 3 of a kind 25x
- Score 28 on 3 of a kind 25x
- Score 29 on 3 of a kind 5x
- Score 30 on 3 of a kind 5x
And this goes for every dice you want to unlock. just look it up what you have to do.
Good luck! :)
I got android dice by purchasing a $4 bonus dice pack. Does anyone know what custom dice are given to iphone users who buy this pack?
ReplyDeleteCan someone explain how to get the platinum dice? I don't even see those achivemnets anywhere to try and earn them.
ReplyDeleteGo to the AWARDS, then ACHIEVEMENTS, then TOURNAMENTS. You have to win 3 Premium Tournaments. Really tough!
DeleteDoes anyone know how to get the new years dice in the dice duo
ReplyDeleteYou have to get past the GOLD level which happens to be EMERALD. :) Good luck
DeleteYou just have to reach gold level which no emerald. It something like 15 wins. It's not that hard to reach. You should be able to do it before the challenge ends.
Deletewhat does you're custom dice screen look like now?
ReplyDeleteWow. That was three months ago! I now have 41 custom cars and will have 43 pretty soon. I guess I need to update this screen with a sample of the custom dice and my collection.
DeleteLol, custom cars....
DeleteBut seriously I'd be curious to see it
I saw that but figured everyone would know what I meant :) Glad it gave you a chuckle.!
DeleteFor the Casino Red dice...what are the Level II achievements?? I would like to know so I can at least try to get them, I have 6/9 and I have no idea what they are.
ReplyDeleteWhen you buy the $4 dice pack, do you still get the Android dice? I enjoy collecting custom dice!!
ReplyDeleteI rolled a yahtzee, didn't have one yet, but it didn't score as one. Anyone know why?
ReplyDeleteMy only guess is that you did not score the yahtzee in the yahtzee box.
DeleteI just started playing and got butterfly dice. Now almost every time on my first roll one of my five dice will appear not as a number, but as a half tilted butterfly dice. Sometimes on other rolls I'll get two of them. It seems like it just wasting my number of options per spin. Does anybody no what they actually mean?
ReplyDeleteThe butterfly represents the number 1
ReplyDeleteI really want the discord dice. I've only seen one person with them, my friend. By the way what do you know about the "maverick" dice. I can send a pic if need be.
ReplyDeleteHi Kevin,
ReplyDeleteSend a pic of the discord dice and I will see what I can do. As for the Maverick Custom Dice, they were given out if you beat the Topgun? I have to look
I'm not seeing how to attach images here. Pardon my newb-ness. How do I go about this?
DeleteJust send in the screen images to yahtzeeblogger@gmail.com. :)
DeleteWhy do some players have a green dot by their name? What does it mean?
ReplyDeleteI'm wondering the same thing. Some people have bigger green dots than others and some don't have dots at all.
DeleteWas going to ask the same about the green dots...
ReplyDeleteWas wondering the same thing about the green dots...
ReplyDeleteJust found out. Lil green dot means player is currently online. Makes sense,i was racking my brain!!!
ReplyDeleteBut - my BF and I tested that theory and he wasn't online and still had a green dot. Da da Dahh
ReplyDeleteNotice that those green dots are on for humans. Yahtzee with Buddies and Dice with Buddies have robots that play in regular PvP games. You can usually beat them and they make some pretty awful moves. I'm not 100% sure but the non-green dot on my list are 100% robots.
ReplyDeleteReally? That's an interesting piece of information to know. Would you be willing to share some of the names of the robot players for us?
Deletethey said it indicates someone who has had activity in the last 24 hours. This Canberra especially handy when looking for someone to play with.
ReplyDeleteNOTE: it does not mean someone is online.
found this on the help button on the front page
I play everyday. My name does not have a green dot. I know this because I chat with one of the players.
ReplyDeleteNew to this and already addicted. Are threeopatra and Zeus the "computer" players? Still trying to figure this all out.
ReplyDeleteZeus, threeOpatra, and others in the towers are called the "Dice Masters." Yes, they are computer players and not PvP (player v player)
DeleteI have an idea for custom dice that maybe you could pass on or maybe someone at Scopely will read this and consider. Was thinking about Wizard of Oz theme, the background of the dice would look like yellow brick road, the ones would be pair of ruby slippers and 2 thru 6 would have ruby colored dots. And this could be done on a tower with dice masters. I suggested dots for 2 thru 6 cause I can't get my mind around how to incorporate Dorothy and the others on them. Just a thought. Thanks
ReplyDeleteLove the lightning dice! Sure they're long gone by now, but still curious how they were acquired.
ReplyDeleteMy boyfriend and I have recently completed and claimed level 2 of multiple sections from the achievements and have not recieved the corresponding dice according to this blog. Is anyone else having this problem? Please help.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like Scopely has switched to using Diamonds for purchasing the dice and a combination of tournament and fastplay along with outright purchase of custom dice. We are hoping they will offer the achievement method back
DeleteAre there images of the shark or rocket dice anywhere? I'm about to hit 2.5K diamonds and I'd like to see how easy they are to read. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteI cannot figure out how to stop seeing my opponents dice each role. I remember there was a setting option I was prompted with at first but now I can't turn it off. Anyone know how to change this preference? I don't see it in the settings tab.
ReplyDeleteWhen I've got custom dice I can't see all my rolls eg the butterfly dice I roll and let's just say I have 33564 if I keep the 33 then roll again I will not be able to see what I've rolled just 33 and a butterfly on each of the other dice. Can someone tell me why or how to stop this from happening thanks.
ReplyDeleteThe butterfly is the number 1. If you had 33 and three butterflies then you rolled a full house of 33111.
DeleteHi Krysta...Thanks for helping me out :)
DeleteDoes anyone have a picture of Watermark dice or Fluttershy dice? Please let me know! I created a complete list of all dice sets A-Z but I cannot find any proof that either of these two sets ever even existed. My dice list can be found at www.tinyurl.com/ywbdice and I can be reached at xaimuu@gmail.com. Thanks to anyone who can help!!!
ReplyDeleteI have a picture! Will you be willing to send me your list of custom dice so I can list them?
DeleteHello!! :) Not sure if my last message did not go thru?
ReplyDeleteYes you are welcome to look at my list, of course! Please note that it is updated on an almost daily basis. You may want to provide the link for people to visit, rather than just copying it, so it will always be completely up to date. I add new dice several times per week as Scopely releases them.
www.tinyurl.com/ywbdice
Do you have pics of both Watermark and fluttershy? Can you email them to me?
Thanks so much!!
Jaime (aka Xaimuu)
Any idea when the baseball dice will be available again?
ReplyDeleteCan u still get the gold dice by doing a bunch of rolls in 24 hours?
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
DeleteWhere do I go to retrieve the mystery dice box?
ReplyDeleteAny idea how to get the daisy dice.
ReplyDeleteMarina, you just have to wait for them to become available in fast play, diamond shop or boss wars. You should check out our Facebook group... it's called Yahtzee With Buddies - High Rollers. We always post about what is going on in the game daily. :) www.tinyurl.com/ywbhighrollers
ReplyDeleteI'm playing the Halloween game and have treats. What do I do with them?
ReplyDeleteWhat do the coloured dots near names mean
ReplyDeleteWhat does the blue dot by your opponents score mean?
ReplyDeleteWhat’s the deal with all the animal names on here? Like beautifulbadger or awesome ostrich??? Most of my opponents have that sort of name.
ReplyDeleteThose are the names Scopely auto-assigns to each account when they are set up, and many people don’t bother changing theirs to something better.
ReplyDelete
