Last checked: September 2, 2026. Codes in 99 Nights in the Forest expire without warning, and there are only ever a few of them at a time. Every code below was cross-checked against the game's community wiki and the developer's own channels on the "Last checked" date. If a code errors for you, it almost certainly rotated out after this check — jump to the troubleshooting section before assuming you typed it wrong.
99 Nights in the Forest is one of the biggest experiences on all of Roblox. Our live Roblox Games API pull on September 2, 2026 showed 108,615 players in-game at once — a solid top-10 finish across the entire platform that evening — on top of 29.36 billion lifetime visits and 9.39 million favorites (Games API, universe `7326934954`). It is a co-op survival game where up to 25 players build a camp and try to live through 99 in-game nights. Gems are hard to come by, so the handful of free codes below are the fastest way to unlock a new Class before your first run.

What are the working 99 Nights in the Forest codes right now?
TL;DR — As of September 2, 2026 there are two active codes: `forestwakesup26` (15 Gems + 3 random Flames) and `afterparty` (15 Gems). There is also a hidden in-game trick — type "yay fishing" in chat while you are fishing — that drops 2 Gems one time. That is 32 Gems total from everything available today. Redeem codes by opening the Currency Shop, tapping the Codes button in the bottom-right, and entering the code exactly (they are case-sensitive). Gems are spent on Classes; Flames are spent at the supply crate to change events. There are no codes that give free items, pets, or Robux — anyone promising that is lying.
The most useful habit here is simple: don't waste your Gems the moment you get them. Gems only exist to unlock Classes, so bank the 32 you can grab today and put them toward the one Class that fits how you like to play, rather than half-buying two.
All working 99 Nights in the Forest codes (September 2026)
Every code here was confirmed active as of the "Last checked" date above. Codes in 99 Nights are issued by the developer, Grandma's Favourite Games — a Roblox-verified studio — and they almost always drop alongside a Saturday update.
| Code | Reward | Status |
|---|---|---|
| `forestwakesup26` | 15 Gems + 3 random Flames | Working |
| `afterparty` | 15 Gems | Working |
| `"yay fishing"` | 2 Gems (in-chat trick, one time) | Working — see below |
That is the entire live list. If you have seen a fourth or fifth code floating around on an aggregator site — `SURVIVOR` is the one doing the rounds right now — treat it with suspicion: it is not on the game's community wiki active list as of this check, and unverified codes are exactly how content farms rack up "code already redeemed / invalid" complaints.

Expired codes
Codes here worked in the past but no longer redeem. They are listed so you can stop trying them:
| Code | Old reward | Status |
|---|---|---|
| `happyhalloween` | 10 Candy (Halloween event only) | Expired |
Expect this pile to grow. 99 Nights runs seasonal codes tied to events — `happyhalloween` only ever worked during the Halloween event, and event codes die permanently the moment the event ends.
How do you redeem codes in 99 Nights in the Forest?
Redemption lives inside the shop, not on a separate menu, which trips up new players. Here is the exact path:
- Load into 99 Nights in the Forest and spawn in (you can be in the lobby or in a run).
- Open the Currency Shop — tap your Gems counter or the shop icon.
- Click the Codes button in the bottom-right of that shop window.
- Type the code exactly as written — they are case-sensitive, so `forestwakesup26` will not work if you capitalize it.
- Press Redeem. Your Gems (and any Flames) land instantly.
Each code is one-time per account. If you have played before, you may have already claimed the older ones — the game will simply tell you the code is already redeemed. That is not a bug.
What are Gems and Flames actually used for?
This is the part the code lists usually skip, and it is the reason the codes matter at all.
Gems (💎) are the game's premium currency. You will see some guides call them "Diamonds" — it is the same currency, just a naming mismatch between the in-game shop and the trackers. Gems are spent almost entirely on Classes: alternate survivor types with their own perks that change how you play a run. Because Gems are slow to earn in normal play, a free 30 from the two active codes is a meaningful head start toward your first unlock. (Source: 99 Nights in the Forest Wiki — Codes.)
Flames (🔥) are the newer reward, introduced with the summer content. You spend them at the supply crate to change the active event or claim a campfire bonus — think of them as event-modifier tokens rather than a spendable currency. `forestwakesup26` is currently the only code that hands them out, three at a time, at random.
Neither Gems nor Flames can be bought, sold, or traded between players, and nothing about this game touches Robux. If a site tells you to buy 99 Nights currency off-platform, ignore it — trading Roblox currency or items outside the platform is an explicit Roblox Terms of Use violation with active enforcement, and it has nothing to do with how this game actually works.
What is the "yay fishing" secret code?
99 Nights hides one extra reward that is not a normal code at all. If you type "yay fishing" in the in-game chat while you are actively fishing — holding a Fishing Rod, inside the fishing minigame, in a live run and not the lobby — 2 Gems fall from the sky. It only works once per account, and players without chat access cannot trigger it. It is a small bonus, but it is free and most players never find it. (Source: 99 Nights in the Forest Wiki — Codes.)

Why do 99 Nights codes expire so fast, and when do new ones drop?
99 Nights hands out very few codes, and they tend to be short-lived, because they are tied to updates and events rather than to a steady giveaway schedule. The developer set the current rhythm with the "The Forest Wakes Up" update in June 2026, announcing the studio was back after a quiet spell:
"The forest (and us) has finally woken up. After a quiet spell, we're back and hard at work." — Grandma's Favourite Games, update announcement
Since that update, the game ships a new update every two weeks on Saturdays at 1:30 PM EST, with a weekly Update Party on Saturdays at 1 PM EST. New codes, when they come, land in that window. Our Games API pull shows the experience was last updated August 28, 2026, so the next content drop — and the next realistic chance at a fresh code — falls on the following Saturday cycle. That is exactly why this page carries a "Last checked" date and gets re-verified every week: a stale codes list is worse than none.
If you want the earliest possible heads-up on a new code, watch the game's official Discord and the in-game announcement board — that is where legit codes surface first, ahead of any third-party list.
Skip the grind on your 99-night run
Codes give you a Class head start, but surviving all 99 nights, rescuing the four missing kids, and pushing through the harder biomes is still a long co-op grind — especially if your squad keeps wiping on the Ram or the Owl. If you would rather spend your evening playing the fun part than repeating night one, timesaver.gg can help with the heavy lifting:

FAQ
How many 99 Nights in the Forest codes are working right now? As of September 2, 2026 there are two active codes — `forestwakesup26` and `afterparty` — plus the "yay fishing" in-chat trick. Together they give 32 Gems. That is the complete live list; codes are rare in this game, so if a site shows a long list, most of those are expired.
What do you get from 99 Nights in the Forest codes? Gems and, from `forestwakesup26`, three random Flames. Gems unlock Classes; Flames are used at the supply crate to change events or claim a campfire bonus. No code gives free items, pets, or Robux.
Why does my code say "invalid" or "already redeemed"? "Invalid" almost always means the code expired after our last check, or it was typed with the wrong capitalization — codes are case-sensitive. "Already redeemed" means you claimed it before; every code is one-time per account, so that message is normal, not a bug.
Are Gems and Diamonds the same thing in 99 Nights in the Forest? Yes. The in-game shop labels the premium currency "Gems" (💎), while several code sites call them "Diamonds." It is one currency under two names, and it is spent on Classes either way.
When do new 99 Nights in the Forest codes come out? New codes drop alongside updates, which land every two weeks on Saturdays at 1:30 PM EST. The game was last updated August 28, 2026, so the next code window is the following Saturday cycle. Watch the official Discord for the earliest confirmation.
Can I buy or trade Gems in 99 Nights in the Forest? No. Gems cannot be purchased, sold, or traded between players, and the game does not use Robux for its currency. Codes and normal play are the only ways to earn Gems.
