If you'd rather have The Ignorant Masses explain it all to you, check out this Intro to Kong Hack video! It's pretty long but it covers everything on the site, in detail.

A few things about the site...

• Points

  • Points can be obtained in various different ways. Click on your user name and then "Points Store" to see how.
  • 2 points will be deducted every day unless you have L33TH4X status (see below) or you donate, then you'll be exempt.
  • Once your account hits -100 points, it will be "point dropped" and deactivated. A redemption email will be sent out so you can get your account back. With that being said, if you've signed up with a temporary email, change it to a legitimate one or you'll never get this email. Contribute to the site and you won't ever have to worry about this.
  • You can spend your points on stuff in the Points Store.

  • And even more here: https://konghack.com/post/89837
• Lottery
  • Lottery tickets can be purchased in the Points Store.
  • Drawing is every Thursday.
  • Tickets are 25 points each.
• Stocks
  • We now have stocks! You can read more about it here: https://konghack.com/topic/8624-kong_hack_stocks
  • You can use the points you acquire around the site to purchase them.
  • Excellent opportunity to get a lot of points. (Avoid being point dropped for awhile.)
  • Go invest in some stocks here: https://konghack.com/ucp/points/stocks
• Voting on hacks
  • Hacks are sorted by votes. If they work, vote them up. If they don't, double check that they don't before down voting them. We did this as a convenience for you guys so you don't have to dig for working hacks.
  • You must have at post count of at least 5 before you can vote. This was implemented because of abuse. With that being said, don't necro 2 year old threads, and post something useful. If you've got something off topic you'd like to discuss, use the Talk forum.
  • CHECK THE ICON NEXT TO THE GAME! Be sure the AoB you're trying to use is for the version of the game you're playing. i.e. Kongregate, Newgrounds, Armor Games, etc. Click that link for a visual description.
  • Installing the userscript makes this easy!
  • Do NOT falsely downvote hacks. Repeat offenders may be banned
  • More details here, including illustrations!
  • Also, if you submit an AoB hack or a trainer, every time it is upvoted you'll get points. 10 for AoB, 15 for trainer.
• KongHack Userscript
  • If you don't have it installed, go do it now. You'll need Greasemonkey for Firefox or Tampermonkey if you're using Chrome.
  • Install link: https://konghack.com/user_script/129708.user.js
  • This userscript will add an iframe below your game and display all of the current hacks we have for that game.
  • Works on the following sites: Kongregate, Newgrounds, Armor Games, Nitrome, Mochi Games, and Mini Clip.
  • Can be confirgured in the User Control Panel (see below).
  • You must be logged into this site for it to work properly.
• KongHack Ultra Trainer
  • This thing is bad ass! Especially if your tired of that redundant AoB copypasta nonsence...
  • Using it is simple...
    • Open the game you'd like to play/hack in your browser.
    • Log in to the program with your Kong Hack username and password (NOT your Kongregate info)
    • Click "Scan Browsers" and double click your game and all of the AoB hacks we have in our database will auto populate.
    • Just click the ones you want to use and click "Apply Hacks".
    • ???

  • Auto login and auto vote can be turned off by hovering over the axe in the top left.

Search bar

This is the search bar. Use it to search the site. Preferably before posting a question that has already been answered. You can also get help from people in the chat.

Note to Firefox users: v22 introduced some new features which block mixed content. If your search results come back blank, look for a shield to the left of your address bar, click it, change "Keep blocking" to "Disable Protection on This Page"



Note: The style has changed a bit since this was made but the information is still relevant.

Normal    - Below this is all of the posts.
Search     - Note the search bar on the right. It's different than the search bar at the top left of the page. This is for searching through the current forum's post titles/descriptions. You have to manually clear this yourself. It will will hold your search term even if you go to another page. So if you notice the forums look a little empty, check there first.

Email bounce



If you see this, it means that you've used a fake email address or your mail server is rejecting our emails. Change your email address to a valid one. gmail, yahoo, or another major email provider should work. Just a warning, I believe the system is set to delete your account after a certain number of bounces! So if you see this number going up and you're sure you have a valid email, click the "Send Feedback" button in the bottom right of the page and let us know or hop in chat and let a mod know there.


Karma (use it!)



Karma is a type of rating system. It's given to users by other users. If you find someones post helpful, amusing, insightful, etc., click that little plus sign and let them know. If someone is being an asshat, click the minus sign and tell them why. If you click on the Members link in the nav bar you can sort by karma. You'll find the users with the most karma are typically the biggest contributors to the site, whether it be hacks, help, or whatever. Sort it in ascending order and you'll see all of the fucksticks that probably ended up here (you don't want on that list).


Post reply auto-save

Have you ever been in the middle of typing a long rant, detailed reply, or tutorial and have the browser crash or accidentally clicked on something that takes you away from the page and you lose everything you just typed? No worries just click that little arrow in the bottom right and select the last entry and you should get everything back. You can also click the broom and it'll clear everything out.

Apparently this feature has issues...
The Ignorant Masses says, "It's not reliable and shouldn't be depended on. In fact, in the latest version of CK, it doesn't function at all."
