Cheats are activated by arranging the letters on the whiteboard inside any of the safehouses in GTA Chinatown Wars. They cannot be used in the "Lite" (free) version of the game.

There are also some helpful Android apps on Google Play to display these cheats while the game is running, such as Chinatown Cheats GTA [CTW][1] and PRO Cheats for Chinatown Wars[2]. The latter also removes the need to arrange the letters on the whiteboard and activates additional cheats, such as deciding which car will be in the garage and setting the amount of money to a chosen value.
