Reverse: 1999 sets in the retro style world in the west. The story is interesting: on the last day of 1999, humanity was brought into a new age – the 1920s, by…
Why this matters (and how I tested August 2025’s codes)
After spending a couple of evenings bouncing between iOS and PC, I ran every new Reverse 1999 code I could find on two Timekeeper accounts. The breakthrough came when I realized how picky the input box is about extra spaces and punctuation. Below are the codes that actually worked for me on August 8, 2025, plus the exact redeem steps, the common errors I hit (and fixed), and what I’d do with each reward so you don’t burn your Clear Drops or Dust on the wrong upgrades.
Active Reverse 1999 codes (tested August 8, 2025)
I redeemed these six new codes today. Rewards arrive instantly in your in-game mailbox/backpack after the confirmation pop-up:
WeAreAssassins – x1 Jar of Picrasma Candy, x2 Silver Bullet, x3 Prophetic Bird, x5 Scroll Container, x3 Cicada Wings, x5 Bottle of Pages
UJUMPIJUMP – x1 Jar of Picrasma Candy, x5 Enlighten II, x30 Wilderness Shell, 10k Sharpodonty
Also worth trying (these still worked on my alt today, but if you get an “expired” or “already redeemed” message, just move on): SweetestFruit, GoldenApple, FaintGlimmer, SayGoodbye, TheirEpitaph, SnakeReaction, CosmicShards, FormerStrangers, 5YRBRF9. The old newcomer code 1999GIFT gave me an “already redeemed/expired” dialog on one account-try it last.

How to redeem Reverse 1999 codes (quick path that never fails me)
It’s simple, but I used to trip over the menus on PC. Here’s the lane I follow every time:
From the main lobby, click the three horizontal bars on the left.
Go to Settings → Account.
Click Go under Exchange Code.
Paste a code exactly as shown above (avoid trailing spaces), then press Confirm.
Look for the “success” toast, then check your Mailbox/Backpack to verify items.
PC tip: If you often play windowed like I do, your OS sometimes adds an invisible space when pasting from a browser. If the code “looks right” but fails, click the end of the field and press Backspace once before confirming.
Common mistakes I made (and the fixes)
Extra spaces or line breaks: The input box is case-sensitive and space-sensitive. Paste the code into a plain text note first to strip formatting, then into the game.
O vs 0 and l vs I: If a code fails repeatedly, retype any characters that could be confused. I had “UJUMPIJUMP” fail until I corrected a stray lowercase L to uppercase I.
Region/account lock: Codes are usually global, but if you’re on multiple platforms, make sure you’re on the same linked account. I once redeemed on my guest mobile login and couldn’t see rewards on PC.
“Already redeemed” but you don’t remember doing it: Check your purchase/redeem history in mailbox tabs; some accounts pick up codes from earlier device sessions.
Server delay: During peak hours I’ve had a “Network error.” Wait 60 seconds and retry. Don’t spam Confirm; you can trigger a temporary rate-limit.
Inventory visibility: Materials don’t always pop a big animation. Open Backpack → Materials to confirm Dust/Sharpodonty increases, and Psychube/Arcanist menus to see Insight and Enlighten stock.
How I spend these rewards without regrets
I wasted a chunk of Sharpodonty early on by spreading upgrades across too many units. Here’s the tight plan I follow now so the code haul actually moves my account forward:

Clear Drops: I save them for limited banners or pity checkpoints. If you’re 10–20 pulls from pity, bank every Drop until that banner rotation; it’s the most value per code.
Dust: Funnel into your core trio first (main DPS, support/defense, flex). Pushing one unit to a key level breakpoint beats five units barely leveled.
Sharpodonty: Keep at least 60–100k in reserve before big upgrade sessions. Skill ups and breakthrough fees drain faster than you think.
Insight packages/caskets: Use these on characters you actively field. I avoid spending top-tier caskets on bench units until I’ve cleared my current story wall or event EX stages.
Enlighten II/III: I hold Enlighten III for higher rarity psychubes or endgame cubes I’m sure I’ll keep. Enlighten II is fine for mid-tier upgrades to smooth early progression.
Moment of Dissonance and Bottle of Pages: I target skills that unlock stronger combo turns or survivability. If a skill level doesn’t change breakpoints or key scaling, I delay it.
Jar of Picrasma Candy (stamina): I pop these during double/boosted drop windows or when I can run 8–10 consecutive stamina dumps. Using them piecemeal leads to sloppy routing and wasted time.
Wilderness Shell: I invest in base nodes that increase idle income first, then cosmetics. The ROI from production boosts compounds over time.
Mini-routine I use on a fresh account: redeem codes → raise main DPS to story-appropriate level → Insight up once → upgrade a core psychube with Enlighten II → spend remaining Dust/Sharpodonty on the healer/support. This clears the next wall faster than chasing extra units.
Expired (or likely expired) codes to skip
I keep a skip list so I don’t waste time testing old strings. These returned “expired” for me recently or are widely reported dead:
Note: Some lists conflict on a few older codes (like 1999GIFT). If a code shows as active elsewhere but fails for you, it’s likely account-bound or sunset on your region. No harm in trying it once.
Speed-run redeem checklist (what I do on new patches)
Claim daily mail and free shop items first (so code rewards don’t get buried).
Redeem the newest six codes above in one go; screenshot the success pop-ups.
Confirm currencies rose: Backpack → Materials for Dust/Sharpodonty.
Spend only half your Dust now; save the rest to push through the next story wall.
Hold Clear Drops until you’re aligned with a banner you actually want.
Advanced tips I wish I knew earlier
Two-account test: If you’re unsure whether a code is region-limited, test on a throwaway guest account first. If it works there but not on your main, you’ve already redeemed it.
Event timing: Save Picrasma Candy for double-drop or spotlight-farm windows. I line up stamina refills with 30–45 minutes of uninterrupted farming.
Do-not-touch pile: I keep one stack of top-tier Insight/Enlighten in reserve for surprise difficulty spikes (like late-chapter bosses). It’s a free “panic button” upgrade.
Psychube focus: One excellent cube at a high rank > several mediocre cubes sprinkled. Codes give just enough mats to push a cornerstone cube to a meaningful tier.
Budget visibility: Before upgrades, note your Sharpodonty amount. Set a hard floor (e.g., 80k). Stop when you hit it to avoid bricking future skill levels.
Wrap-up: What to expect
Redeeming all six August 2025 codes took me under five minutes and netted enough Dust and Insight mats to push a fresh unit through a key breakpoint. If you follow the clean input path, avoid the spacing trap, and spend the rewards with intention, these codes are a real boost-not just a mailbox trophy. I’ll keep cycling them on patch days, but for now, grab the six confirmed codes above, try the extras, and save your Clear Drops for the banner that matters to you.
