99 Nights in the Forest Codes (January 2026)

This game has consumed my life for 3 months. I’ve survived 500+ days, unlocked most classes, and I’m still finding new strategies. 99 Nights in the Forest perfectly captures that creepy forest atmosphere while keeping you on edge every single night.

Here’s the thing. The Diamond economy is brutal. Classes cost anywhere from 25 to 500+ Diamonds, and earning them through gameplay alone takes forever. These codes give you a head start without grinding for weeks.

Working Codes

yay fishing2 Diamonds (Special method)

The afterparty code is from the Christmas update. 15 Diamonds is solid, almost enough for the Scavenger class.

Secret Fishing Code

The “yay fishing” code doesn’t work in the normal codes menu. You need to:

  1. Equip any Fishing Rod
  2. Stand in the fishing minigame area
  3. Type “yay fishing” in chat
  4. Watch 2 Diamonds fall from the sky

Most players completely miss this. It only works once per account but it’s a fun easter egg.

Expired Codes

The developers don’t release codes frequently. When new ones drop, they’re usually tied to major updates or events.

How to Redeem

  1. Launch 99 Nights in the Forest on Roblox
  2. Look for the Diamond icon next to the green plus button in the bottom left
  3. Click it to open the currency menu
  4. Find the blue CODES button on the right side
  5. Paste your code exactly as shown
  6. Hit Submit

Codes are case-sensitive. The “yay fishing” code uses a completely different method, type it in chat while holding a fishing rod.

Best Classes to Buy

After 500+ days of survival, here’s my recommended progression.

Starter Classes (25-100 Diamonds)

Scavenger (25 Diamonds) is perfect for beginners. The +2 sack space is invaluable for collecting resources. Cheap enough to afford immediately with codes.

Lumberjack (70 Diamonds) is my top recommendation. The Good Axe and +20% bonus log chance make base building way easier. I wish I’d started with this.

Explorer (80 Diamonds) is great for solo players. Speed boost after clearing fog, larger map view, and +2 sack space make exploration much safer.

Mid-Tier Classes (100-200 Diamonds)

Alien (100 Diamonds) has excellent night vision and the alien tech weapon is solid. The overheating mechanic takes getting used to.

Beastmaster (150+ Diamonds) lets you summon wolves with steak. Having 5 pet wolves makes survival significantly easier during invasions.

Endgame Classes (300+ Diamonds)

Cyborg (500+ Diamonds) is widely considered the best class. Excellent night vision, infinite ammo, incredible damage output. This is the ultimate goal.

Necromancer (400+ Diamonds) is my personal favorite for long runs. Resurrect cultists to fight for you. Once you have 6 cultists, you’re nearly unstoppable.

I wasted 200 Diamonds on the Hunter class before realizing it’s a trap pick. Stick to the tier list.

Survival Tips

Night 1-10: Build beds immediately for day multipliers. Find missing kids, each one increases your multiplier. Prioritize walls because the Deer will test your base early.

Night 11-30: Upgrade your crafting bench for better equipment. Build multiple beds to stack those multipliers. Start hunting wolves for pelts.

Night 31-99: Focus on permanent upgrades. Prepare for major invasions. Master the combat system because enemies get significantly tougher.

Real talk: I died on Night 5 my first 8 attempts because I ignored base defenses. The Deer will destroy an undefended base. Build walls and traps early.

Where to Find New Codes

The Discord server drops codes first. Grandma’s Favourite Games (the developer group) posts announcements on their social media. I check daily and update this page within hours.

New codes typically drop with:

  • Major updates like Christmas and Halloween
  • Milestone celebrations
  • Special events
