How to Find Hidden Items & Easter Eggs in Waterpark Simulator

Waterpark Simulator hides a surprising amount of content outside the park's fences — collectibles, cameo NPCs, and jokes the developers tucked into the world. None of it affects your star rating, and all of it is worth finding once. This guide collects everything the community has documented so far, with locations.

One important honesty note up front: CayPlay has never published an official easter egg list, so everything below is community-documented (Reddit, Steam community posts, and fan wikis). It's reliable enough to hunt, but treat it as player knowledge, not official fact.

The Rarest Collectible: The Golden Beach Ball

The Golden Beach Ball is the most sought-after hidden item in the game — one of the rarest finds, per community discovery. What's documented:

Found on rooftops and in alleyways behind the buildings outside the main park boundaries
A commonly reported route: jump from the waterpark entry, over the two lanterns, and onto the K-Mart rooftop — the ball can appear on the balcony
It's a collectible rather than a functional item — the fun is the hunt

The surrounding town area is mostly inaccessible by design, which is exactly why the ball is rare: you have to either know the jump routes or be curious enough to find them.

The Character Cameos

Several NPCs and storefronts are community-identified references to real creators:

Cameo	What It Is	Reference
-------	-----------	-----------
Queso	An NPC encountered during the tutorial (and sometimes outside it)	Widely believed to reference the Twitch streamer CaseOh — whose community jokes about his weight, a running gag the game leans into
Mark E. Plier	An NPC who makes occasional appearances — reportedly panicking on the diving board	A parody of Markiplier
Egg	A bald NPC in a pink shirt printed with his own face and floral shorts	Believed to reference YouTuber Steak, whose community jokes that his head looks like an egg
Caylus	A rare cashier employee costing $500/day	A reference to Caylus Cunningham, co-founder of CayPlay Studios — one of several rare named employees at that wage

The rare $500/day employees are the most practical find: they're not just jokes, they're hireable staff with distinctive names. Keep an eye on hiring listings — the named ones are the cameos.

The Sticker and the Signs

Small world details the community has catalogued:

The Saba sticker — a sticker of VTuber Sameko Saba placed on a shop wall corner by the developers as a tribute after she played the game (found by hololive's Korone during a stream)
Street signs reading "Gerard Way" — a nod to the My Chemical Romance frontman
A ninja turtle eating pizza in one of the alleys behind the map
A lion's head with googly eyes inside Caymart — believed to be a nod to YouTuber "Let's Game It Out"
Garden gnomes — three differently colored garden elves lined up on the street behind the store (on the left), plus gnomes in the last alleyway to the left outside the park
Blood coming under the door behind CayMart — the game's creepiest detail, tucked behind the store

These are the "look at the edges" rewards: the developers clearly packed the outer map with jokes that most players will never walk past.

The Hidden "Murder Scene" (Glitch Territory)

The boldest easter egg is only reachable by glitching or parkouring into the inaccessible urban areas surrounding the park map: a hidden "murder scene" found there, documented in community videos. Expect the unexpected — the scene is a dark-humored set piece in an area the game never intended you to enter.

How to get there: community videos show the parkour routes into the out-of-bounds city. These routes can change with updates, so if the documented path stops working, check current Steam community threads for the up-to-date version. (And be aware: the chalk outline you can unlock by cleaning zones — labeled "mopping up poop" — is a separate, in-bounds joke.)

The Official Features That Feel Like Secrets

Some of the best hidden content is officially confirmed 1.0 features that players still discover late:

Ducky water cannons — 1.0 added water cannons shaped like rubber duckies. In co-op you can battle friends with them; in solo, spray unsuspecting visitors. Officially confirmed.
The Duck gun — a duck-themed gun that requires no research — you just pay cash to "the old man at Caymart." Officially confirmed in the 1.0 patch notes.
The Duck Slide — the exclusive thank-you gift for Early Access players. If you were there for EA, check your available slides.
The physics comedy — spray guests with water guns or launch beach balls at them for exaggerated ragdoll reactions. There's even an achievement for launching a guest a set distance with a custom slide and no pool landing. Community-confirmed, and the game's signature joke.

How to Hunt for Hidden Content

Community-proven hunting method:

Walk the edges. Most finds (gnomes, signs, blood under the door) are on the map's outer rim, behind stores, in alleyways.
Get on the rooftops. The Golden Beach Ball's known spawns are on roofs and balconies. Jump routes start from the park entry.
Watch the tutorial twice. Queso appears in the tutorial; players report seeing him outside it too.
Check every hiring listing. The $500/day named employees are cameos you can actually use.
In co-op, split up. With 4 players combing the edges, the rare finds show up faster — and the duck cannons turn any search into a water battle.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is there an official easter egg list?

A: No — everything documented here is community-reported. Marked accordingly, and worth hunting anyway.

Q: Do easter eggs affect gameplay?

A: Only the named $500/day employees (real staff) and the Duck gun (real equipment). The rest are cosmetic jokes.

Q: Where is the Golden Beach Ball?

A: Rooftops and alleyways outside the park boundaries — most commonly reported on the K-Mart rooftop via the park-entry jump route. Spawns appear to vary.

Q: Is the murder scene real?

A: It's documented in community videos in out-of-bounds urban areas — reachable by glitching or parkouring out. Real, but unofficial, and reachable routes can change with updates.

Q: Can I find these on console?

A: The same 1.0 content ships on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S, so the in-bounds finds should exist everywhere — out-of-bounds parkour may behave differently on console.
