Cheats and easter-eggs

CorsixTH has some built-in cheats and easter-eggs which we reveal here.

Note: The information on this page holds true for CorsixTH version 0.66*.
*Some cheats may be listed that are due in a future release

Entering fax numbers

For most cheats you first must obtain a fax and then enter a fax number. You get these faxes from time to time, but sometimes it can be tedious to wait.

There are basically 2 ways to speed this up:

  • Set the simulation speed to maximum
  • Set the “GUESS AT CURE” slider in the hospital policy menu to a minimum value, so you are more likely to receive patient-related faxes

To activate a cheat, you have to enter a fax number by clicking on the numbers on the displayed fax machine in the correct order, and then confirming with the green button. Do not use the numbers on your keyboard, those are used to set the simulation speed.

Fax numbers overview

In brief, these are the accepted fax numbers:

  • Open cheat window: 24328
  • Funny announcement: 112
  • Roujin's challenge: 768546
  • No Rest, full speed: 363749

Cheat window

You can open a window in which you can activate several cheats. Just enter the fax number 24328.

With the cheat window you can:

  • Get $10,000
  • Finish your research (get all available buildings and treatments)
  • Start an emergency
  • Create an infected patient who might cause an epidemic
  • Toggle infection symbols (meaning is unclear; it does not seem to have an effect)
  • Create a VIP (actually this creates only a VIP fax)
  • Create an earthquake
  • Create a patient
  • Jump to the end of the month
  • Jump to the end of the year
  • Win the level
  • Lose the level

If you used any cheat from the cheat window, you won't get any money bonus for the current level after winning. You also lose any bragging rights as well, obviously. ;-)

If you started the game in debug mode, you can also access the cheat menu more easily from the debug menu or by pressing F11.

To enable the debug mode, edit the Configuration file and add the line debug = true (unless it already existed). Remove this line to disable debug mode.

Funny announcement

Enter the fax number 112. You hear the telephone ring. You also hear a funny announcement if you have an announcer.

Roujin's challenge*

*cheat available from 0.65
It's not 100% sure where the origins of the challenge are but it was either named after one of the developers called Roujin; or based loosely on the premise of the film Roujin-Z; where the Japanese hospital system is overstretched by an influx of elderly patients.

Enter the fax number 768546 to enable Roujin's challenge. Enter the same code again to disable it.

No rest cheat*

*cheat available from 0.66
This cheat prevents your staff from needing to rest, and sets their movement rate to maximum speed. It does not affect their skill level.

Enter the fax number 363749 to enable this cheat. Enter the same code again to disable it.
