If you’ve found yourself lost in the zone of Cookie Clicker and wish to accelerate your progress, there are several ways to do so by cheating.

While it’s usually possible to enjoy the game by grinding through it, sometimes you may want to bypass the time-consuming grind and quickly see your cookies multiply. 

Whether you’re just trying to pass the time or testing new strategies, knowing how to cheat can be fun.

In this article, we’ll explore using the OpenSesame interface and browser console to activate cheat commands that will help you take your bakery to the next level.

Getting Started: OpenSesame Interface for Easy Cheats

OpenSesame is the most beginner-friendly method for cheating in Cookie Clicker.

This cheat interface gives you clickable buttons for various commands, making it easier than manually typing out complex cheat codes.

Here’s how you can activate OpenSesame in your game:

  • Changing Your Bakery Name: The first step is modifying your name. To enable OpenSesame, add “saysopensesame” to the end of your bakery name without quotation marks. For example, if your bakery is called “Dot Esports,” change it to “Dot Esports saysopensesame.”

  • Confirming Activation: Once the name change is complete, a green cookie icon will appear at the top left corner of the game screen. This icon indicates that the OpenSesame cheat interface has been successfully activated.

  • Using the Interface: A menu will pop up when you click on the green cookie icon. This is the OpenSesame (Dev Tools) interface. From here, you can simply click on any available button to trigger the desired cheat command. There’s no need to type or worry about syntax—just point and click to activate.

OpenSesame is perfect for players who want to cheat without delving too deeply into the technical aspects of Cookie Clicker.

It lets you quickly experiment with different commands and see the results in real-time.

How to Use the Browser Console for Advanced Cheating?

Using the browser’s developer console is another great option if you prefer more control over your cheats or want to execute specific commands manually.

While the console can be more complicated to handle, it allows you to fine-tune your cheat experience. Here’s how to get started:

  • Opening the Console: To open the browser console, right-click anywhere on the Cookie Clicker game window and select Inspect from the context menu. This will open up a new window at the bottom of your screen. Click on the Console tab to bring up the text interface from here.

  • Typing Commands: You can enter any cheat command once the console is open. If a command requires a specific value (like the number of cookies), just replace the placeholder value with the desired number. For example, if you want to set your cookie count to 10, type Game.cookies = 10 and press Enter.

The console gives you more control and flexibility, allowing you to tweak everything from cookies per second to achievements and game progress.
