The following is a list of Easter Eggs in the original Manhunt.
Zapping Machine[]
At the beginning of Mouth of Madness, if you look through the glass door you can see a man strapped to an electric chair. The machine next to him reads:
‘High Tech Solid State 1500 Watt Zapping Machine. Please note: This really fucking hurts!’
Hidden Items in White Trash[]
A group of five Glass Bottles and a Knife are hidden together during the scene White Trash. They are located at the first locked off gate, near where you need to use a knife to cut the rope that is keeping the fence locked. The trainer is required in order for you to be able to jump there.
Beta Cash[]
The beta James Earl Cash can be found several times during the game.
- Inside the Darkwoods Penitentiary on a electric chair and a stretcher.
- On cross-like shaped trees outside of the entrance to Starkweather’s mansion.
Hidden Save Point and Painkillers[]
During the bonus scene Time 2 Die, there is a hidden Save Point and bottle of Painkillers behind the closed gate. The trainer is required in order for you to be able to jump there.
Piggsy's Corpse[]
Piggsy's Corpse can be seen in a abandoned building in the bonus scene Hard as Nails. The trainer is required in order for you to be able to jump there.
Reporter's Apartment[]
Several easter eggs can be found inside the apartment.
- A calendar with a photo of New York City on it. The calendar shows the month and year as being November of 2003 with a small smiley face drawn on the 19th. The 19th of November 2003 was the date Manhunt was originally released in North America.

Biblical Graffiti[]
In the level Kill The Rabbit, there's a biblical graffiti above four cell door's at the location, where Cash is trapped by the White Rabbit. It says:
I will strew your flesh upon the mountains and fill the valleys with your carcass to drench the land even to the mountains with your flowing blood EZEKIEL 32:5.
Key[]
There is a second key at the end of Kill The Rabbit behind the asylum gate.
Cartoon[]
Once you have completed the game a short video clip plays that shows a robotic chef speaking backwards. Many suggest that the chef video is there to indicate that Lionel Starkweather has recorded over an old video that originally had a kids TV show recorded on it.
