Ultimate Chicken Horse Cheat Codes
Ultimate Chicken Horse hides its entire unlock roster behind a single rhythmic button sequence. No file editing, no third-party tools for the basics — just a dance emote and a sprint emote tapped out in the Treehouse lobby. The developer, Clever Endeavour Games, baked the code directly into the Unity build as a nod to old-school Konami codes. Enter it correctly and every level, every animal, and every outfit appears instantly. Enter the wrong variant and the player sacrifices six Steam achievements permanently unless they wipe their progress.
This guide covers the exact input for every platform, the lesser-known "half" code that preserves trophies, how to reset everything if the player changes their mind, and the mod menu for those who want to fly around levels instead of just unlocking them.
Where and How to Enter the Code
The code does not work from the title screen. The player must enter the Treehouse — the game lobby — by selecting Play Local or joining an online session. Once inside, the player selects any animal character. Only then does the input register.
The sequence is a literal translation of button functions: Dance, Dance, Run, Run, Dance, Dance, RotateRight. On keyboard, "Dance" is bound to R by default, "Run" to Left Shift, and "RotateRight" to E. On controllers, the face buttons and shoulder triggers map to the same actions.
Full Unlock Code — Every Platform
| Platform | Input |
|---|---|
| PC (Keyboard) | R → R → Shift → Shift → R → R → E |
| Xbox | Y → Y → X → X → Y → Y → RB |
| PlayStation | Triangle → Triangle → Square → Square → Triangle → Triangle → R1 |
| Nintendo Switch | Y → Y → X → X → Y → Y → R |
If entered correctly, new level icons pop onto the tree instantly, all nine playable animals become selectable, and the wardrobe fills with outfits and accessories. There is no audio cue for success — the visual feedback is immediate.
The Half-Code: Unlock Without Sacrificing Achievements
The full code locks six achievements related to unlocking content. For players who want the roster but still intend to earn trophies legitimately, a "half" variant exists. It unlocks everything except the Turtle character, the Metro level, and all outfits. Because those specific items are tied to the blocked achievements, the player remains eligible for the rest.
Half Unlock Code
| Platform | Input |
|---|---|
| PC (Keyboard) | R → R → R → Shift → Shift → Shift → R → R → R → E |
| Xbox | Y → Y → Y → X → X → X → Y → Y → Y → RB |
| PlayStation | Triangle → Triangle → Triangle → Square → Square → Square → Triangle → Triangle → Triangle → R1 |
| Nintendo Switch | Y → Y → Y → X → X → X → Y → Y → Y → R |
Achievements Blocked by the Full Code
Using the full unlock disables the following six trophies permanently on that save profile:
| Achievement | Requirement |
|---|---|
| A New Friend Appears | Unlock a character |
| Building a Community | Unlock all characters |
| Young Explorer | Unlock a level |
| Magellan | Unlock all levels |
| Gettin' Fancy | Unlock an outfit |
| Full Wardrobe | Unlock all outfits |
The only way to earn these after using the full code is to reset all progress through the Treehouse menu.
How to Reset Progress
If a player uses the full code and later wants to earn achievements legitimately, the reset option is buried in the stats screen:
- Enter the Treehouse.
- Open the menu and select Stats.
- Click the red Reset all stats and reset game progress button.
This wipes every unlock, every match history, and every cosmetic. The player starts from scratch. There is no partial reset — it is all or nothing.
How Unlocking Normally Works
For players who avoid cheats, the game drip-feeds content through mystery boxes that appear during completed matches. A "match" is defined as a full Party or Creative game played to a winner or a draw. Solo play does not spawn boxes.
The game checks unlock eligibility in this order:
- Levels: At least one match on each previous level (excluding the Blank Level), plus at least three matches since the last level unlock.
- Characters: The level where the character appears must be unlocked, plus at least five matches since the last character unlock.
- Outfits: At least three matches total, a 1 in 3 spawn chance per eligible match, and only characters already unlocked can receive outfits.
When a box is available, a bell rings and a ? symbol appears on the level icon. Collecting the box during the match awards a random unlock. In online play, the reward can go to any player in the session, not just the one who touched the box.
There are 59 unlockables in total: nine characters, forty-three outfits, and fifteen levels (including the Blank Level, which is available by default).
UCH-ModMenu: The Nuclear Option
For players who want more than unlocked cosmetics, the community mod menu UCH-ModMenu replaces the game's main DLL and injects a debug interface. It was last tested on version 1.9.03 and may not function on newer builds without updates.
Features include:
- High jump and infinite jumps
- Sprint speed modifier
- Invincibility
- Invisibility
- Jetpack
- Instant win (even if the player dies)
- Block placement without collision checks
- Debug mode toggle
- Unlock all levels and outfits independently of the Treehouse code
- FOV slider and death stats
Installation requires replacing Assembly-CSharp.dll in the game's Managed folder with the modded version. Most cheats are password-protected; the default password is ILOVEUCH. The menu itself is toggled with the Insert key.
Because this is a DLL replacement, online play with the mod active will likely trigger anti-cheat or disconnect the player. The mod is intended for local or private use only.
Honest Warnings
- The full code is irreversible without a total reset. There is no "undo" button. Players who want to preserve achievement eligibility must use the half-code or avoid cheats entirely.
- Key bindings matter. If the player has remapped Dance, Run, or RotateRight to different keys, the code must use the current bindings, not the defaults. A remapped "Dance" on F means the code starts with F F, not R R.
- The mod menu breaks on updates. Every patch to Ultimate Chicken Horse can change the Unity assembly structure, rendering UCH-ModMenu non-functional until the community releases a compatibility build.
- Mystery box RNG is shared online. Players grinding unlocks in public lobbies may see their box reward go to a random teammate. Private lobbies with friends are more predictable.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do the cheat codes work on all platforms?
Yes. The Treehouse code functions on PC, Xbox, PlayStation, and Nintendo Switch. The input adapts to each controller layout, but the underlying sequence is identical.
Can the code be entered multiple times?
Once the full code is entered, every unlock is already active. Re-entering it does nothing. The half-code can be entered after the full code, but it will not re-lock the excluded items.
Does the half-code block any achievements?
No. Because the half-code excludes Turtle, Metro, and outfits, the player can still earn the six unlock-related achievements through normal play.
Why did the code not work?
Most common causes: the player is still on the title screen instead of inside the Treehouse, the character has not been selected yet, or the key bindings were remapped and the code is using the wrong inputs.
Is there a way to unlock content without playing multiplayer?
No. Mystery boxes only spawn during completed multiplayer matches. Solo Creative or Party mode does not generate unlocks. The cheat codes and the mod menu are the only solo-friendly methods.
Does resetting stats also reset unlocked achievements on the Steam profile?
No. Resetting only clears the in-game unlock state. Steam achievements already earned remain on the profile. However, achievements that were blocked by the full code cannot be earned on that save file unless the player resets and re-unlocks everything legitimately.
Bottom Line
Ultimate Chicken Horse handles cheating with arcade elegance: a seven-button dance in the lobby unlocks the entire game in under three seconds. The full code is fast and permanent, but it burns six achievements. The half-code is the compromise — most of the roster, none of the trophy locks. For players who want to break physics instead of just cosmetics, the UCH-ModMenu DLL turns the game into a sandbox. Pick the method, back up expectations, and remember that the Turtle and the Metro station are the price of a clean achievement sheet.
