10 Unique Open World Game Secrets You Need To Find

7. The Black Cellphone Cheat (Grand Theft Auto V)

Grand Theft Auto games have always had an affinity with cheat codes, and GTA V is no different. However, this specific cheat is so niche and obscure that it makes you wonder why it was even programmed in.

In the game, you can use your cellphone to call various numbers, with some giving you fun gifts like increased running speed, explosive melee attacks, or spawning an array of vehicles. But, something truly bizarre happens if you dial the number 1-999-367-3767.

This will direct you to a caller named Black Cellphones and will trigger an explosion above your head. Then, if you look back at your phone, you'll notice that it has changed to a pure black colour, with the phone's theme being converted to grey. It also enlarges the phone slightly.

If you don't like your new black cellphone, then guess what? You can ring the number again, trigger another explosion, and reset it. Wow, going to factory settings is way easier and less dangerous in real life.

This is one of GTA V's most mysterious secrets, and many believe it is an alternate reality game. Hopefully, it gets cracked eventually, and this mystery can be solved.
