Plague Inc. Myth #1 - I won, but the next level won't unlock

Wrong!

One of the common complaints against Plague Inc. is that a user apparently wins a game but then the next level does not unlock.  Plague Inc. might be a tad glitchy at times but this is almost always because the user did not in fact kill everyone.  Plague is not about killing 6.5 billion, its about killing EVERYONE.

So how does this happen?  A game ends and you look at your chart, and it's clear that everyone is dead right?  It probably looks something like this:


In fact, when this graph was taken, 500,000 people remained alive.  The graphs are interesting but can be misleading.

The problem is, you did NOT in fact kill everyone.  This happens when your disease is too deadly to be actively transmitted throughout a country.  If you have not received notification that "There are no more healthy people in the world" and the game ends, you have lost.  The most likely culprit is probably Greenland or Iceland.  Pathogens can be extremely difficult to transmit throughout the entire populations.

If you find yourself in a situation like this you need to enhance your pathogens ability in cold climates, that's the "snow flake" to level 2. That'll get those pesky Greenlandians! Otherwise, your only hope is necrosis.

  1. Also, FYI, if you don't beat it on Normal or Brutal difficulty it will not unlock the next level.

    I've uninstalled and reinstalled with no joy either. Any ideas? Thanks :)

  3. You need to look at the world tab that will tell you how many people are dead, infected, and healthy with a number not a graph

  4. this is actually a glitch, don't try to tell me its not cause its happened to me the last two games i played. i infected everyone, and received the notice that no one on earth is healthy anymore. then i mutated my parasite and killed EVERYONE. When it was over i got a blue screen, and it didnt unlock the next plague. this happened 2 times in a row.

    1. Blue Screen means that the scientists botched your plague.

    3. It's called making profits. It's how people make a living. Honestly, it's only $0.99 if you don't count the taxes.

  9. I'm having the opposite problem. I'd like to pay and unlock the gene manipulation abilities, but the unlock or purchase links don't do anything but occasionally redirect me to the plague inc main screen.

    1. You need to buy the full version to unlock the special scenarios by playing. It's only $1.06 and trust me it's worth it.

  20. I have killed everyone on brutal of the main page and finally beat bacteria on mega, but that didn't unlock the cheats. Emailed ndemic and their reply was they would look into it. I see posts, from a couple years back, from people who are experiencing the same issue. Is anyone familiar with this. Is there something else I'm supposed to accomplish that I'm missing.
