Genre: RPG, Simulation

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:

  • Crystals – Your bread-and-butter currency for rolling on most banners and interacting with special orbs.
  • Gems – Higher-value currency you can stockpile from certain codes to do bigger pulls or unlock premium options, depending on what the devs add in updates.

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.

1. Open the Shop Menu

Once you’re loaded into a server:

  • Look at the right side of your screen.
  • Click or tap the Shop button. It usually has a shopping bag or cart icon.

This opens the Robux Shop window, where you’d normally buy game passes or premium bundles.

2. Scroll to the Bottom for the Code Box

This is the part I initially missed:

  • Use your mouse wheel (PC) or swipe (mobile) to scroll all the way down to the bottom of the shop window.
  • You’ll see a field labeled something like “Enter Code” plus a green Redeem button.

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.

3. Enter the Code Exactly as Shown

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.

4. Hit Redeem and Check Your Rewards

Once the code is in:

  • Click the green Redeem button (or press Enter on PC).
  • If the code is valid, you’ll see a success notification and your crystals/gems will update instantly.
  • If it’s invalid or expired, you’ll usually get an error or nothing happens.

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.

Crystal Bonus Codes (Use These First)

  • MLP – Free crystal bonus (new; great for the MLP banner)
  • VALENTINES – Crystal bonus tied to the Valentine’s season
  • WICKED – Extra crystals, good for topping off before a big pull
  • WITCH – More free crystals
  • VOCALOID – Crystal bonus, nice if you’re into the collab themes
  • DollBDay – Birthday-themed crystals
  • HaveAGreat2026 – New-year style crystal payout
  • AlmostXmas25 – Pre-Christmas crystal reward
  • PowerPuff – Powerpuff-themed crystal bonus
  • MerryChristmas25 – Big Christmas crystal boost

When 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.

Gem Codes

  • 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.

Big Gem Payouts (50,000 Gems Each)

  • White Lily Cookie – 50,000 Gems
  • First berry Cookie – 50,000 Gems

These 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.

Known Expired Code

  • 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.

Why Codes Might Not Work (and How I Fix It)

Even when a code is supposed to be active, it sometimes refuses to redeem. Here’s the checklist I run through whenever that happens.

  • Typos or extra spaces – This is the number one culprit. I always double-check that I didn’t add an extra space at the front or end when pasting.
  • Wrong capitalization – Some codes care about upper/lowercase. I match the formatting exactly as shown in reliable lists.
  • Expired without notice – Devs don’t always announce when a code dies. If you’re sure you typed it correctly and it still fails, assume it’s expired.
  • Old server version – Once or twice, a fresh code wouldn’t work until I swapped servers. I fixed it by leaving the game and joining again, which put me on a more updated server.
  • Already redeemed – Most codes are single-use per account. If you don’t remember whether you used one, the game usually just treats it as invalid.

My usual routine if something doesn’t work is:

  • Re-type or carefully re-paste the code.
  • Try again on a different server (leave, rejoin via the Roblox page).
  • Check updated code lists or the game’s description to see if it was silently removed.

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:

  • Big content updates – Major patches (like the one that brought the Update23 code) often come with at least one fresh code as a welcome-back bonus.
  • Seasonal events and holidays – Codes such as VALENTINES, MerryChristmas25, and AlmostXmas25 line up with real-world events.
  • Collaborations and themed banners – The new MLP code lines up neatly with its banner, and others like VOCALOID and PowerPuff clearly match their themes.
  • Milestones or server issues – In a lot of Roblox games, devs drop codes as compensation for downtime or to celebrate player-count milestones. Cookie Run Gacha Simulator seems to follow similar habits.

To stay ahead of new drops, here’s what I personally do:

  • Check the game’s Roblox description after big updates – codes are sometimes posted right there.
  • Look for links to an official Discord or Roblox group on the game’s page; devs commonly announce codes in those channels.
  • Keep an eye on the in-game chat when joining busy servers – players often paste new codes the moment they’re discovered.

This saves me from having to constantly search the wider web every time I log in.

Best Ways to Use Your New Crystals and Gems

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.

  • Focus on one banner at a time – Don’t scatter pulls across everything. If you’re into the MLP collab, dump your MLP and crystal bonuses there first.
  • Use crystal codes to reach pity or guaranteed thresholds – If the banner has any sort of soft pity or increased odds after a number of pulls, save enough crystals to hit those benchmarks instead of stopping at random numbers.
  • Save big gem payouts for key updates – I hold onto most of my 50,000-gem chunks from White Lily Cookie and First berry Cookie until a banner or update really interests me.
  • Still grab special orbs – Even with tons of code rewards, don’t ignore the orbs spawning every 150 seconds. They stack surprisingly well with code bonuses.

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.

Wrap-Up: Redeem MLP First, Then Clean Up the Rest

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:

  • Join a fresh server and open the Shop → scroll to the bottom.
  • Redeem MLP first to get instant crystals for the new banner.
  • Run through the rest of the crystal codes, then the gem codes, saving the 50,000-gem ones for when you really need them.
  • If any code fails, double-check spelling and capitalization, then try a different server.
  • Keep an eye on the game’s Roblox page and community channels for the next wave of seasonal or update codes.

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.
