Cheats & Secrets
Overview
Clash Royale has no official cheat codes, unlock codes, or secret commands. Supercell has consistently patched any exploitable glitches, and there are no developer-intended cheats. However, the game contains several Easter eggs, hidden features, and developer-intended surprises that are safe to use and add a touch of fun. This guide covers all known hidden content, from secret emotes to visual gags.
Secret Emotes & Interactions
1. The "Hehe" Emote (Tap the King's Tower)
- Location: In the main menu or during a battle, tap your King's Tower repeatedly (the tower behind your side).
- Action: Tap 10–15 times rapidly. Your King will laugh with a distinctive "Hehehe" sound and the King’s face will animate.
- Result: This is a persistent but harmless Easter egg. It does not affect gameplay.
- Location: In battle, tap your Crown Towers multiple times.
- Action: Tap each Crown Tower 5 times rapidly. The King will emit a grunt or angry expression.
- Note: Works only on your own towers, not enemy ones.
- Prerequisites: Android or iOS; friendly battle mode.
- Steps:
- Result: A hidden animation: the King does a double-take and then laughs heartily. This is purely cosmetic.
- Location: Main menu title screen (the "Clash Royale" text banner).
- Action: Tap the logo 10 times quickly.
- Result: The logo spins and a small spark effect appears. No function beyond novelty.
- Card: Goblin Barrel – Tap the barrel icon in the card info screen repeatedly. The goblins inside the barrel will peek out and wave.
- Card: Inferno Dragon – The dragon's eye glows when you hold the card.
- Card: Princess – She occasionally winks if you hold her card for a few seconds.
- Note: These are static animations, not interactive cheats.
- Some older cards (like Rocket, Fireball, Mortar) have a tiny Supercell logo hidden in the card art. Look closely at the bottom-right corner of the card when viewing full art in the collection.
- Tower Troop: King's Tower (unlockable via Pass Royale or events).
- Easter egg: Equip the "Ghost" tower skin and tap your King's Tower 20 times. The King will briefly turn transparent and emit a ghostly wail. This is purely cosmetic.
- What happened: In early versions (2016), using the Mirror spell on a mirrored card could cause infinite elixir drain and freezes. This was patched in update 1.2.0.
- Current status: Not functional; considered a historic bug.
- What happened: In the beta, exploiting a server lag glitch could double elixir generation when both players placed cards simultaneously. Fixed in global launch.
- Current status: No longer possible.
2. The "Angry King" Emote (Tap the Crown Towers)
3. Secret Emote Sequence (Friendly Battle only)

2. At the start of the match, both players must hold down their King’s Tower for 3 seconds.

No Cheat Codes
To reiterate: Clash Royale does not have any console-style cheat codes or unlock codes. All cards, emotes, and tower skins are obtained through normal gameplay, purchases, or events. Using third-party tools (mods, bots, emulators) violates Supercell’s Terms of Service and can lead to permanent ban. Stick to the legitimate hidden features above for harmless fun.
