What the Cheat Codes Do
Most cheat codes in Photo Hunt provide a standardized bonus package. When activated, you typically receive:
- All core stats +25
- Extra currency (usually +$2,000)
- School success +100
- All relationship points +5
Gallery and unlock codes bypass progression requirements and open restricted content immediately. The exact reward depends on the version and code type.
How to Unlock the Gallery Manually
If you prefer a permanent solution that works across all versions, you can unlock the gallery by editing a single game file. This method does not require any codes.
- Navigate to your Photo Hunt installation folder.
- Locate the file named gallery_main.rpy.
- Open it with any text editor (Notepad, Notepad++, or VS Code).
- Find the following block of code (usually around line 48):
if char_id not in persistent.gallery:
return False
if ev_id not in persistent.gallery[char_id]:
return False
return True
- Change both instances of False to True.
- Save the file and close the editor.
- The next time you launch the game, the gallery will be fully unlocked.
Note: Always make a backup of gallery_main.rpy before editing, so you can restore the original file if needed.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Why is my code not working?
Make sure you are using the exact code for your installed version. Codes are case-sensitive and will not work across different builds. Also verify you entered the code in the correct phone menu (Patrons → Cheats / Unlock).
Can I use an old code in a newer version?
No. Each version uses unique codes. A code from v0.15 will not work in v0.18. Always check your version number in the main menu or settings before attempting to redeem a code.
Do cheat codes disable achievements or progress?
Using built-in cheat codes may prevent certain progress trackers or unlock notifications from registering. If you want to preserve a clean playthrough, create a separate save file before activating any cheats.
Is editing the gallery file safe?
Yes. Changing False to True in gallery_main.rpy is a simple text edit that does not require third-party software. As long as you back up the original file, you can revert the change at any time.
Are these codes safe to use?
Yes. These are official codes built into the game by the developer. They do not require external trainers, mods, or additional software and are completely safe for single-player use.
Where can I find codes for future updates?
New codes are typically released alongside each update. Check the official sources or community channels associated with the game to get the latest passwords as soon as they drop.
Final Tips
Maximize your Photo Hunt experience with these quick recommendations:
- Check your version number before entering any code to avoid errors.
- Copy and paste codes when possible to prevent typos caused by case sensitivity.
- Use cheat codes early to remove stat and currency restrictions.
- If you plan to replay the game frequently, edit gallery_main.rpy once for permanent gallery access.
- Bookmark this guide and check back for new codes with every update.
