Cookie Run Gacha Simulator
After a couple of evenings grinding crystals in Cookie Run Gacha Simulator, I hit the same wall most players do: I wanted to pull on the new banners (especially the MLP one) way faster than my crystal income allowed. Special orbs spawning every 150 seconds helped, but it still felt slow. The breakthrough came when I finally started using redeem codes properly – one code, MLP, basically jump-started my crystal stash for that banner.
This guide walks you through exactly how to redeem codes, lists all currently working ones (with a spotlight on MLP), explains why some codes fail, and shows how to turn those free crystals and gems into real gacha progress without wasting time.
In this Roblox experience, everything revolves around two main currencies:
Normally, you farm crystals by running around and grabbing drops or waiting on those special orbs that appear every 150 seconds. That’s fine, but it’s slow if you’re trying to complete sets or chase a specific collab banner.
Codes shortcut that grind. When you redeem a valid code, you instantly receive crystals, gems, or both. You don’t have to finish a tutorial or hit a specific level – in my experience, you can start redeeming as soon as you load into the game.
The recent MLP code is a great example: I redeemed it on a fresh session and immediately had enough extra crystals to start rolling on the related banner instead of waiting on multiple orb spawns.
I wasted more time than I’d like to admit looking for a “Codes” button that doesn’t exist. Everything is hidden inside the Shop. Here’s the exact redemption path that works consistently for me on PC and mobile.
Once you’re loaded into a server:
This opens the Robux Shop window, where you’d normally buy game passes or premium bundles.
This is the part I initially missed:
If you don’t scroll far enough, that field won’t appear at all, which is why I thought codes were “bugged” the first time I tried.

Next, carefully type or paste a code into the box. Codes are case-sensitive in my experience, so I always copy them exactly as written, including capital letters and spaces where they exist.
For example, for the new banner bonus I type:
MLP
and for one of the big gem drops:
White Lily Cookie
Make sure there’s no extra space at the start or end of the code – that has broken codes for me more than once when copying from chat.
Once the code is in:
When I redeemed MLP, the crystals popped up in my currency bar immediately without needing to rejoin, so you don’t have to restart unless something is clearly bugged.
Here’s the full set of codes that have worked for me recently. Redeem them as soon as possible – event and seasonal codes can disappear without warning.

MLP – Free crystal bonus (new; great for the MLP banner)VALENTINES – Crystal bonus tied to the Valentine’s seasonWICKED – Extra crystals, good for topping off before a big pullWITCH – More free crystalsVOCALOID – Crystal bonus, nice if you’re into the collab themesDollBDay – Birthday-themed crystalsHaveAGreat2026 – New-year style crystal payoutAlmostXmas25 – Pre-Christmas crystal rewardPowerPuff – Powerpuff-themed crystal bonusMerryChristmas25 – Big Christmas crystal boostWhen I’m starting on a fresh account, I like to run through all of these in one sitting. By the time you finish, you’ll have enough crystals to seriously test banners instead of doing one pull at a time.
Update23 – Gems (usually tied to a major update)Festa – Gems (good for stocking a separate gem pool)I treat these as my “emergency fund” and try not to blow them instantly; gems often get extra value during new updates.
White Lily Cookie – 50,000 GemsFirst berry Cookie – 50,000 GemsThese were the real game-changers for me. When I redeemed both back-to-back, I suddenly had enough gems to experiment with pulls I’d normally never risk early on. If you’re short on time, prioritize entering these and MLP first.
Blueberry Yogurt Academy – No longer works (I confirmed this one myself; it returns an invalid/expired message).If you see that code in older videos or comments, skip it and focus on the list above.
Even when a code is supposed to be active, it sometimes refuses to redeem. Here’s the checklist I run through whenever that happens.
My usual routine if something doesn’t work is:
If a code still won’t go through after those steps, I move on instead of fighting it – there’s usually a new seasonal or update code around the corner.

The dev (listed as Doll Core :3 in Roblox) doesn’t follow a strict public schedule for codes, but based on my time playing and tracking updates, codes almost always show up around:
Update23 code) often come with at least one fresh code as a welcome-back bonus.VALENTINES, MerryChristmas25, and AlmostXmas25 line up with real-world events.MLP code lines up neatly with its banner, and others like VOCALOID and PowerPuff clearly match their themes.To stay ahead of new drops, here’s what I personally do:
This saves me from having to constantly search the wider web every time I log in.
Once you’ve redeemed all the codes, it’s easy to blow your new wealth randomly. I learned that the hard way on my first session. Here’s the approach that’s worked better for me.
MLP and crystal bonuses there first.White Lily Cookie and First berry Cookie until a banner or update really interests me.By combining efficient farming with smart code usage, I was able to build out a solid collection in just a few sessions instead of feeling like I had to grind for weeks.
If you’re just jumping into Cookie Run Gacha Simulator or coming back after a break, here’s the short action plan that’s worked best for me:
MLP first to get instant crystals for the new banner.Once you get into the habit of redeeming codes every update, the game feels far less grindy. If I can turn a slow start into a banner-ready account in one evening with these, you can absolutely do the same – just don’t forget to grab that MLP bonus while it’s still active.
