This guide will be showing you the steps on how to obtain the Prison Simulator achievement called Cookie Monster. The Cookie Monster achievement requires players to find and take 30 cookies in the game.

Cookie Monster Guide

Everything in this guide is based on what I know from having spent the time to figure this out on my own. I have spent many hours playing this game and I’ve discovered a few things in that time so let’s go over them.

First, before anything else I highly suggest either doing this in Freeplay mode or beating the story so that you unlock Freeplay mode at the end of it. Also, don’t do this while you are trying to get the 100% prisoner respect because you will just make it harder on yourself. You will know why shortly.

Okay so that being said let’s jump into it. This first thing should be completely obvious, but a red outline on something means it has illegal contraband contained inside. Cookies are totally legal and should have a green outline. So you will want to check places that are green or yellow.

I know of only 4 places that cookies can spawn. I have searched the prison high and low and have only found it worthwhile to check in Toilet Bowls, Mattresses, Cafeteria tables/benches, and search prisoners.

Keep in mind that buying the cookies does not count. You MUST find the cookies on people or in hiding places.

So now my tactic is to get the skill that allows you to use your radio to tell another guard to take over a task for you. Then just choose laundry or parcel duty and no other tasks for the day. Then walk to death row and search each toilet bowl and mattress there. Don’t worry about bed frames or toilet seats. They are a lost cause. Just toilet bowls and mattresses.

Then go to Cellblock B, search the prisoner, the toilet bowl, and the mattress in each cell. Don’t worry about cafeteria tables. It’s just extra time spent with little reward. Once You have tossed Cellblock B you can radio the guards to take over your shift then run back to the briefing guy and start the whole routine over again. This achievement is tedious and takes forever. You will want to be willing to spend a few hours on it.

Finally, there is one other thing that will speed up the process and it’s hitting prisoners who get in your way. This is where you will lose a bunch of respect with them so be ready to lose it.

If a prisoner is sitting on the toilet or bed that you need to search, hit him once with your nightstick. Hitting a prisoner once will not cause them to attack you. They give you one free hit. When you hit them they stagger and while they stagger you will have a quick moment to click the toilet or mattress to search it. This is much faster than patiently waiting for them to move.

If you happen to hit the prisoner a second time they will attack you so try to just hit them once and quickly click the object. Sometimes they can be pretty quick about laying or sitting back down.

This is all of the information I have on this. If you have the patience to do it, this should at least help you enough that you don’t have to search every single stash for the cookies! Happy hunting!
