Cheat Codes/Unlockables

We hear from our loyal fan base that players are craving some Cheats, Easter Eggs, and Secrets. Given this feedback, every couple weeks we will provide you with information on how to find these items. Cheats are actions that help you win. Easter Eggs are funny and unanticipated results based on an action players take to activate them. Secrets are unexpected events that take place in the game.

If you are looking for a more comprehensive list of Cheats, Easter Eggs, and Secrets, we encourage you to visit the Zoo Tycoon fansites.


Cheat Codes

To rename a guest, employee, or exhibit, click the desired object, then type a new name into the Info panel.

Name a guest Lou Catanzaro and unlock all Animal Enrichment research programs.
Name a guest Charlie Peterson and unlock all exhibit foliage. (Charlie Peterson is one of the Program Managers on Zoo Tycoon.)
Name a guest Akiyama and unlock all the scenarios that ship with the game. (Akiyama is the family name of one of the test team members.)

Name an exhibit Super Croc and unlock Deinosuchus.
Press $ (Shift+4) and get $10,000, but a random exhibit fence weakens (great time for the Bob V cheat!).

Easter Eggs

Easter eggs are surprises that you may or may not run across as you play. Many of these are date-depended, but pay attention—some relate to the in-game date and others to the real-world calendar.
On September 15 on the in-game calendar (the date of the signing of the contract between Microsoft and Blue Fang for Zoo Tycoon), a biplane with the Microsoft logo flies across the map pulling a banner with the Blue Fang logo.
On their own turf, penguins are capable of killing pretty much any animal in the zoo.
Guests entering the zoo on January 1 (New Year's Day) on the in-game calendar may be sick.
October is Dinosaur Month! Purchase all dinosaurs at half price during the in-game month of October.
On October 31 on the real-world calendar, all guests and buildings wear orange and black in honor of Halloween, a jack-o-lantern is available from the buildings and items menu, and a wicked witch flies over the zoo on a broomstick.
On October 31 (Halloween) on the in-game calendar a witch flies over the zoo on a broomstick and a jack-o-lantern is available from the buildings and items panel.
On Christmas (December 25) on the in-game calendar, Santa Claus flies over the zoo in his sleigh.

Secrets

Secrets are sort of a combination of the two, and are mostly just for fun. Enjoy!
Name a male maintenance worker George W and all the foliage in your zoo will vanish, but you'll receive $300 tax rebate.
Name a guest Mr. Brown, Mr. Pink, Mr. White, Mr. Blue, Mr. Blond, or Mr. Orange and all guests and buildings currently in the zoo change to the associated color.

Name a bear Deer and the bear will immediately break out of its exhibit (unless the fence is electrified).
Place a Mermaid Statue in an exhibit or show tank and it changes into a real mermaid. The Mermaid will not appear in the adopt an animal menu; however, you can continue dropping Mermaid Statues into water tanks to "adopt" more.
Name a guest Zeta Psi and all adult male guests in your zoo change colors and become sick. (Zeta Psi is a college fraternity.)
