RED Gems Offer#

Between November 24th and December 8th of 2014 and 2015, iOS users were able to purchase a special gem bundle to contribute to AIDS research. When they did, they received a red shield on their Town Hall. The bundle is still present in the game, albeit disabled, along with the red shield graphics.

Test Localizations#

Inside locales.csv, there are several unused languages, probably used for UI testing : Quad String, DoubleDouble String, Double String, Test Language, Empty Texts, Longest Word, Longest Text. The last one has a link to this site, presumably used for testing as well.

Unused Loading Screen Hints#

The following hints are currently visible to players with a Town Hall level of 999+, which is impossible to achieve in the game, therefore they are unused. They are stored in hints.csv.

Join the Clash of Clans Forums! Look in Settings - More.

You can't change the name of your village. Your villagers wouldn't know where they live!

Since name changes are now possible, this second hint doesn't make sense anymore.

A variation of the jingle that plays when you deploy Clan Castle troops goes unused.

Santa Spell#

Around December 2012, there was an update that added the Santa's Surprise spell. This spell was later removed, as it was too overpowered, thus leaving the sound effect paired with it unused. In December 2016, this spell was added again, but removed on January 2017 again in December 2017, this spell was added again, but removed on January 2018. This removed the Santa Spell easter egg from Goblin Picnic.

Debug Menu#

This needs some investigation.
Discuss ideas and findings on the talk page.
Specifically: Is it actually accessible?

A debug menu was found inside the file libg.so.

Unused Graphics#

Santa Spell#

The Santa Spell icon goes unused too.

Birthday Boom#

The Birthday Boom icon goes unused.

Plants#

Two unused decorations, named env_npc_plant1 and env_npc_plant2, were found inside the "buildings.sc". As their names imply, they would've been used in NPC Bases. If injected to appear in the decorations menu, their name is "TID_Passable_Stone".

Mega Gem Box#

This bigger version of the gem box was featured in a joke video, but the graphics for it were left in the "buildings.sc" file.

royale.sc#

There is an interesting file called royale.sc, that contains 3 old screenshots from Clash Royale. These graphics are called "clash_royale_softlaunch_event_item". You can see this file here.

Puzzle and Dragons?#

There is a file called "promo_puzzle_and_dragons.sc" in the game. Unfortunately, there is nothing too much interesting in it:

Dummy Files#

To do:
List where are those dummy files. They are everywhereǃ

There are some dummy files inside characters.sc and many other files.
