🔑 Project Lunky Secret Code Guide

Everything we know about the hidden code, Lixian's secret messages, all endings, and Easter eggs in Project Lunky.

[Data Decryption] What is the Secret Code?

During gameplay, players have discovered a hidden code input Terminal in Project Lunky — a special console at the end of certain lab levels. When found, the game presents a text field asking for a code. The community is still actively debating what the code unlocks — theories range from a secret ending to a bonus area or even a hidden YouTube video from Lixian.

Some players reported the code appeared to be a YouTube URL, but the linked video was no longer available. This suggests Lixian may have planned time-limited content tied to the code.

âš  Important

If your code doesn't work, check: have you skipped the Mospitalâ„¢ intro cutscene? Skipping it can leave critical map variables unloaded, which prevents the Terminal from accepting any input. Restart the run and watch the full intro to fix this.

The secret code system also has deep connections to LixianGames' previous work — fans have noted visual similarities between the Terminal interface and elements from Iron Lung, suggesting a shared universe or at least a deliberate homage by Lixian.

[Known Exploits] Confirmed Codes

The community has discovered several working codes. Enter these at the Terminal console found at the end of lab levels:

LUNKYConfirmed

Activates the original meme form — Lunky's stick-figure appearance shifts to the crude two-square design from Markiplier's 2020 video. Cosmetic change that persists for the entire run.

PORTUGUESEConfirmed

Triggers a special cutscene where Lixian threatens you in Portuguese — a callback to the iconic "Joga o meu jogo" moment from Markiplier's video.

More codes are being discovered. If you find one, the community is tracking them on the Lunky Wiki.
