Hello, everyone. Today I would like to talk about a major glitch I’ve found in Cookie Run. I’m sure Devsisters will figure out a way to patch this when they find this post, but give it a try before they do something about this.

Now I’ve only tested this on the LINE version, iOS. If you are playing the Kakao or the QQ version, or/and on an Android device, try this glitch for yourself, I’d like to hear if it’ll work on those versions.

But enough said, let’s start off.

Before I start, here’s some abbreviations:

EMM = Episode Main Menu

MBM = Mailbox Menu

PaBM = Powers and Boosts Menu

Alright, here we go. You know those fancy menu transitions (like when you press play and it switches to the powers and boosts menu)? Well, I have found an exploit using this, and thus I give you the “Multiplying Boosts” glitch.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Georgia",serif;mso-bidi-font-family: Tahoma">Now this glitch requires timing, but not that kind where its pixel or frame perfect, although you still need some fast fingers.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Georgia",serif;mso-bidi-font-family: Tahoma">Before doing this, make sure you have selected the boosts you want to duplicate (for example, select the Double XP icon to multiply it)

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Georgia",serif;mso-bidi-font-family: Tahoma">To do this, open the MBM. Now what you want to do is close it, but before it has time to open up the episode main menu, you click Play. It may seem a bit tricky, but a few tries will help you get used to it. Another way is by clicking the X, and right after that you press play. You’ll know it if worked if you see two PaBMs (not the EMM nor the MBM) flip around; now it should show you the PaBM. Repeat the process as many times as you like by first closing the PaBM then opening the MBM again. Then once you’re done, press Play.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Georgia",serif;mso-bidi-font-family: Tahoma">Now, the boosts that you activated prior to doing the glitch will be multiplied by whatever amount you had repeated.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Georgia",serif;mso-bidi-font-family: Tahoma">I’m not sure how this works, but here’s my theory. When you performed that timing-perfect glitch, the game thinks we’ve opened the menu twice, hence the two menus, and so places both menus into effect. The amount of repeats you did multiply the amount of menus that then are loaded into the game, and thus, gives you more boost longevity.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Georgia",serif;mso-bidi-font-family:Tahoma">IMPORTANT NOTE <span style="font-family:"Georgia",serif;mso-bidi-font-family: Tahoma">: Unfortunately, this is a one-time glitch. You can keep those boosts as long as you want, but make sure you don’t deselect them from the menu, because what happens is the glitch will, for whatever reason, permanently fix itself, and attempting to redo the steps over and over won’t do anything. Even quitting the game and coming back into it doesn’t help.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Georgia",serif;mso-bidi-font-family: Tahoma">Maybe deleting the app and reinstalling it might work, but I doubt it; you could probably try that. If no fix, then it’s probably the LINE account; you may have to start all over from the beginning just to get the glitch again. If you’ve gotten the permanent fixed glitch, and you know a way to bypass it, tell me in the comments below.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Georgia",serif;mso-bidi-font-family:Tahoma">Bonus Glitch [Invisible Menu]: <span style="font-family:"Georgia",serif; mso-bidi-font-family:Tahoma">Here’s another one I’ve found, and it involves a similar process to the last, although this is not very useful.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Georgia",serif;mso-bidi-font-family: Tahoma">Enter the PaBM, and perform the “click the X, and right after that, press play” trick. If done correctly, you should have an invisible menu. You will be in the PaBM, but everything that would normally be there is now invisible. If you’re lucky, you might be able to exit that menu, and into the EMM.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Georgia",serif;mso-bidi-font-family: Tahoma">From here on out, any menu in any episode will now be invisible, but everything is still in place.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Georgia",serif;mso-bidi-font-family:Tahoma">Another Bonus Glitch [No Notices]: <span style="font-family:"Georgia",serif; mso-bidi-font-family:Tahoma">This one’s called the “No Notices” glitch. At the EMM, hold down the mail icon. Now press the home button on your phone, and precisely after that, let go of the mail icon. As the exit transition occurs on your phone, you should see the menu going through its transition to the MBM. Go back into the app, and it should load like normal, but your notices won’t appear (if you have any). No real purpose for this, but it’s kinda cool.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Georgia",serif;mso-bidi-font-family: Tahoma">Finally, the last bonus glitch [One Heart Less]: This is not at all useful; all it does is take away one heart. But if you want to do this glitch, go ahead.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Georgia",serif;mso-bidi-font-family: Tahoma">Enter the PaBM. Hold the Play button, then press your phone’s home button and then let go of the Play button. Enter multitasking mode, quit the app, reopen it, and now you have one less life. You will not receive any XP or coins due to the run not being started.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Georgia",serif;mso-bidi-font-family: Tahoma">Anyways, that’s about it. If you’ve found more glitches, post them here. I’d like to hear from you, whether it might help you or not. <ac_metadata title="Found a glitch that may be useful."> </ac_metadata>
