In today’s article we are going to dive into the Idle Mastermind tips and cheats to help you become a better villain – yes, that’s right!

I am going to help you obtain more funds and build a better lair so that you can unfold your evil plans way better and slowly (but surely) build the evil empire you wanted – why fight for the good, when you can fight against it, right? Well, let me explain everything that you need to know in order to become better at Idle Mastermind!

So without further ado, let’s dive into the Evil Mastermind tips and tricks to help you with everything in the game and to improve fast!

idle mastermind 1

Spin the Wheel!

Every time you get a new Wheel Ticket, you should head on to the lucky Wheel in the top right corner of the screen and spin it. You can obtain one of numerous rewards which will help you get better at the game or simply boost your personal economy!

You can obtain pretty much anything, from Gems to Corruptonyte and Tokens, and even more Wheel Tickets! So by all means, spin this every chance you get!

Boost your productivity for hours

As an evil genius, you will want to get as many boosts as possible – and for that, you should head on to The Evil Eye Association button in the upper right corner of the screen because there you can choose to watch an advertisement to claim the following boosts:

– +25% Henchman Speed for 2h.

– +25% Room Speed for 2h.

– Henchmen Steal + x0.5 Resources for 4h.

These boosts will add up to 8 hours total, and you will need to watch 3 advertisements in total. I suggest that you try to always have them active – if you are not sure how long you have left on the buff, simply tap on the tab and you will see next to the play button the boost time remaining! Head back when it’s about to go out, so that you can activate it again.

Are you low on resources? Go Idle!

Because this is an idle game, you will not be able to make all the upgrades in a matter of minutes. That will take time, considerable time! So if you are looking to make a specific upgrade, I really suggest that you go idle and just let the game farm it for you.

This might seem odd, but you can actually make quite a lot of upgrades by playing idle. The best part is that while you play idle you can actually watch an ad to double all of the resources that you farmed while offline.

I suggest that you always watch this ad to double the loot, because it will be way better than if you were to actively play the game.

Always work towards the Grand Plan

Now you might wonder what this Grand Plan is all about – well, it’s basically the resetting process of the game. You get to reset your current progress, but get back some increased % gains overall. Make sure that you do this when you are not really seeing any good way to advance anymore.

In my opinion you should activate the Grand Plan only once you can get something good in return, because otherwise it will not really be worth it – so don’t do it every time it becomes available, but do it when you feel like you can’t advance anymore without doing it.

Idle Mastermind Cheats

If you want to claim some free loot, then there are a couple of cheat codes to help you obtain free items. You can enter these codes by heading on to the Settings menu (top right corner of the screen) and then you will see a text box where you can type the cheats for the game:

SOEARLY – this cheat code will give you 200 Gems to use as you please.

FREEBIE – this cheat code will give you 3 Wheel Tickets to spin the lucky Wheel.

Do you know some more cheat codes for the game? Let us know down in the comments section below!

Unlock new floors when possible

Whenever you get the chance to unlock a new floor, make sure that you do it because it will allow you to build more facilities underground! The floors are a great way to expand, but you need to save up resources for that.

In my opinion it’s best if you manage to open the floors ASAP and build more features as fast as possible, because it will not cost a lot and every little expansion you make will be a good one.

Upgrade your facilities as much as you can

As you unlock more floors, you will also be able to build more facilities. You should try to always use the resources you save up to upgrade what will bring you the most profit. One very important upgrade you should make is to the City Planning.

The City Planning will unlock more super heroes and Data Chips, as well as other such useful stuff. It will not be easy to upgrade this, just like it will not be easy to upgrade everything else – but dedicate time and you will soon find yourself expanding the evil business by a lot!

Build and upgrade as they become available

Something that will help you (since it’s quite easy to execute) is to always make any upgrade that becomes available right away. Not only will you get your upgrade’s worth back, but each upgrade will give you great benefits no matter what you do.

Get Today’s Prizes every day

Every single day you will be able to watch an advertisement and claim some free prizes, including Corruptonite, Gems and Wheel Tickets. You will see this option in the left side of the screen, so make sure that you tap on it and watch the ad to claim the rewards!

This offer appears daily, so make sure that you take your time and watch the ad to claim the rewards because they will definitely be worth it.

Complete your tasks

You can find your tasks in the top side of the screen, where the icon will show you a big silver cup. Tap on that and read through the tasks. Completing them will give you various rewards, so try to complete as many as possible because you can get anything, from Skill Points to Gems.

I have been playing games ever since I can remember. My passion for video games and especially pixel graphic games must have started back when I was little, because every time I try a new game with pixel graphics I immediately fall addicted to it! I started writing about mobile games in November 2018, focusing on creating in-depth guides for the most popular titles out there. Other than games, I am also passionate about design, and working on my very own pixel game in my free time.
