Down to the Wire

Down to the Wire is one of the achievements in the game Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout.

Strategy
This is luck-based, but fairly common-ish, and happens mainly in Team games (but can rarely happen in other cases, noted below). Pray and hope that there are two teams tied for the worst score when time runs out, and then in the ensuing overtime period(s) amass enough score for your team to qualify.

It is technically possible to achieve this from any team game, but some are more likely than others, which are practically impossible.


 * Decent probability: Basketfall, Fall Ball, Hoarders, Hoopsie Daisy, Team Tail Tag, and Pegwin Pursuit.
 * Somewhat likely: Button Bashers (the only non-team game, if you and your opponent are equally skilled).
 * Not very likely: Egg Scramble and Egg Siege (although it is more possible in the latter) due to the large number of eggs.
 * Even more unlikely: Rock 'n' Roll and Snowy Scrap (the chances of the last two teams tied for the lowest percentage after 3 minutes is rare).
 * Close to impossible: Power Trip (tiles are recoloured so fast that overtime cases are rare).
 * Requires an incredibly contrived scenario: Jinxed (it would take a whopping 5 minutes to reach overtime).
