Disney Dreamlight Valley has so many characters with a vast array of personalities that players never really know what to expect from these NPC neighbors. Particularly when fulfilling quests for friendship goals, which can center on one specific animated character, some of the dialogue and story that is involved can hold a lot of references or easter eggs, or simply be funny in its delivery. Rarely do the characters truly break the fourth wall, however, such as referencing a code that players can input in their game menu to earn free items.
It isn't unusual for Disney Dreamlight Valley to offer codes for players to plug in and get some rewards from time to time. These can often vary from providing unique furniture items for an event or occasion to simply giving extra crafting materials or money. Though the codes are typically found online on DDV social media sites, one code was hidden right in the middle of a speech that Hades gave in the game, which many people just laughed off as nothing until Reddit user Malificent7276 posted that it really works.
The code comes across as simply being part of Hades' rambling, so most people simply ignore it when Hades is talking. Plugging in the code, players get a rather simple reward of three carrots, which only makes the entire experience funnier.
Codes are redeemed by going to the Settings menu and selecting the Help tab to the left. From there, a blue box with the words "Redemption Code" should appear in the middle of the screen. Codes are case-sensitive, so make sure any codes are written exactly as provided.
Why This Secret Code Is Absolutely Perfect
Fans Are Delighted At Its Humor
After unlocking Hades, during his quest "Your Own Personal Hades", Hades has a point in his dialogue where he mentions HADES15 in the conversation. After using the code, players will receive a piece of mail titled "A Gift From Your Favorite Celebrity!" with the following message along with three carrots:
"If you love Hades, you'll love this produce from Goofy's Stall! If you REALLY love Hades, you'll give it back to him as a gift." - In-game mail message.
Unfortunately, despite the hint in the mail to give the carrots back to Hades, nothing happens when he is gifted the carrots. However, this small act of adding the code into the game, particularly with such a simple reward attached, shows that the developers of Disney Dreamlight Valley certainly like to have fun. Also, it fits perfectly with the personality of Hades, as that is something that his character would absolutely do to the player.
DDV Needs To Include More Like This
This hidden code fits so perfectly with the subtle humor of DDV, that it makes me wonder why the game doesn't have more little finds like this. There are a vast array of personalities among the inhabitants of Dreamlight Valley, and it wouldn't be out of the realm of possibility to think that a few of the others could sneak in little fourth-wall-breaking surprises in their quests. The game already holds plenty of references and easter eggs for players to find, each of which provides an extra level of charm to the cozy game.

Disney Dreamlight Valley is supposed to be a land of dreams but one strange glitch involving Elsa turned it into nightmare fuel, instead.
Of course, offering too many types of situations where characters have hidden codes in their dialogue or quests would take away from the fun of stumbling across them. It could even make people begin to expect more codes regularly, which would defeat the purpose and silliness. So, perhaps, Disney Dreamlight Valley has done just enough already with this code.
