INTRODUCTION

In this guide I'll be showing you most of the known Easter eggs found in Hitman Contracts. None of these Easter eggs have been discovered by me, and I take no credit for them. I made and uploaded this guide simply to make it easily accessible through steam.
Seeing that I'm not a native English speaker, there will probably be some mistakes here and there, feel free to tell me about them, just don't be an idiot about it.
Make sure to let me know in the comments if there's any that I missed, so that we can have a complete guide.

0. THE MAIN MENU

In the main menu you see Agent 47 sitting by a window, with a Sniper rifle. This is a possible reference to the 1987 film ''The Living Daylight'', where James Bond (played by Timothy Dalton) is sitting with a sniper rifle, next to a window in a very similar setting.

If you mess around with the light options in the settings menu, a shadowy figure will appear at the bottom of the screen. The figure bears a striking resemblance to Prof. Ort-Meyer. If you wait long enough the camera will eventually pan out, showing the figure more clearly.

1. ASYLUM AFTERMATH

At the beginning of the stage, you will see Prof. Ort-Meyer's dead body. If you flip him over on his back by shooting at him, you will see that the buckle on his belt has Agent 47's trademark symbol on it.

When you come to a small room with a flashing sensor on the ceiling, look to your right and you will see a patient holding a Minigun. If you use the keycard (See The Wang Fou Incident) on the door, you can enter and kill the patient, have fun with your new Minigun.

In the room after the long halway with all the mirrors, if you go to your left and down the stairs you will see a set of double doors. Open it using the keycard (See The Wang Fou Incident). A few steps into the room there is a pair of Golden Desert Eagles.

If you continue further through the room where you find the Golden Desert Eagles, you will come into a room with 6 tanks, the names on the tanks read Janos Flösser, Michael Heilemann, Tore Blystad, Jamie Benson, Jacob Andersen and Daniel Windfeld, all producers and directors of the game.

If you continue to the next room you will find 5 more tanks, the names on them read:
Frantz ♥♥♥♥♥, Pablo Ochoa, Arkadij Jegorov, Lee Hong and Otto Ort-Meyer. These were all responsible for Agent 47's dna, and are all killed by him throughout the series.

If you go to the room with the fountain on the first floor, you will see a few paintings hanging on the wall, but the one that is interesting shows a young, bald boy in a suit. It's possible that this is in fact a portrait of a young Agent 47, or one of the other clones.

Towards the end of the level, outside the asylum there is a parked car. Right above the number plate you will see the letters IOI, obviously a reference to IO-interactive, the creators of the game.

2. THE MEAT KING'S PARTY

In the room where you find the girl murdered by Malcolm Sturrock, you'll hear a song playing on a gramophone, the song is by Paul Anka and is called ''Put your head on my Shoulder'', and if you listen carefully you will hear maniacal laughter coming from the dead girl.

In the same room, you will a see a picture of a man on the Meat King's Altar. The man is most likely one of the developers of the game.

All over the level there are boxes that read ''IOI-Dead Meat'', yet again a reference to IO-interactive.

If you go to the South east on the second floor, you will find a smiley face made out of knives on boxes of meat.

If you look at the Opium-pipe, you will see that it has The Red Dragon Triad's symbol on it. This has lead fans to speculate if Lee Hong and his gang were the ones supplying the Meat King with Opium.

3. THE BJARKHOV BOMB

In Sergei Bjarkhov's office there are two bottles on a table. One of them called Kalashnikov, is a real brand of Russian vodka, famous for it's limited release of AK 47 shaped bottles.

4. BELDINGFORD MANNOR

Outside one of the barns there is a fuse box with the words F.C.K stands for F.C København, and is a danish soccerteam. 2002 may indicate that the game takes place before Hitman 2: Silent Assassin.

If you continue into the barn you will find a room with three guards watching television. Upon further inspection you'll see that they're watching pornography. If you listen carefully you can even hear the moaning.

In the room where Alistair Beldinford and his friend is sitting, there's a big portrait over the fireplace. Shooting at it will make blood-splatter appear, like the person on the portrait is alive. The song playing in the room is ''A Different Kind of love'' by D-ick Walter.

5. RENDEZVOUS IN ROTTERDAM

A truck is standing on the street, with IOI written on the side of it.

The song playing in the Biker club is ''Immortal'' by Clutch. The song was responsible for the delayed Steam release.

In the tattoo studio on the second floor of the club, there's pictures on the wall of the Io-Interactive logo, as well as the Hitman Symbol.

6. DEADLY CARGO

On a gang member's car outside the strip club, there is yet again IOI over the number plate.

Near the warehouses another truck has IOI written on the side of it. It was cool the first time guys..

Inside one of the warehouses, you'll find boxes of ''Top Dollar Bananas''. Near the bottom of each of them there's written Io-Interactive

7. TRADITIONS OF THE TRADE

When signing in at the receptionist, one of the rooms are shown as ''666'', even though the hotel only has around 310 rooms. 666 is known as the Devil's number.

If you go into the closed down wing, where a murder has happened, you will enter a corridor where the light changes and becomes blue-ish. Upon entering the corridor, a ghost can be seen walking through the wall and into room 108. The ghost can also be seen in the the mirrors of room 106, 107, 108 and 109. This is the ghost of the murdered man in room 109. It's possible to kill the ghost by shooting or strangling him, but he won't count as a kill.

In the gift store there is a box of roses on one of the tables. Inside it is a shotgun, this is a reference to Terminator. Agent 47 will even open it similarly to that of the Terminator.

8. SLAYING A DRAGON

At the beginning of the mission, if you run out on the street and to your left you will see a sign with a Ying-Yang symbol. Standing in just the right spot and shooting it with a sniper rifle will reveal the words ''HELLO? OBSERVE THE CONTENTS OF MY EASTER EGG, SMALL CHILD!''
The Easter egg does not end there however. If you run to The Blue Lotus nagotiator and the Red Dragon negotiator they will now have white speech bubbles above their heads reading ''Hello Porkey'' and ''Yes''. This is a reference to the Pokey the Penguin comic.

If you go to the Bomb lab on the second floor, you will see that there's pictures of three men on the wall, with circles around them. This may indicate that the bomb-maker is a hitman using bombs to dispose of his targets.

In one of the other rooms further up the building, you will see a man with a sniper rifle. Next to him is a crate of ''Kinky Cola''. This made-up drink can be seen in other Hitman games as well.

9. THE WANG FOU INCIDENT

In Wang Fou's office on the second floor of his mansion, a keycard named ''Ort-meyer's keycard'' can be found on his desk. If you take the keycard and beat the mission, you can use it to access the Minigun and the Golden Desert Eagles in ''Asylum Aftermath''. (See my All Bonus Weapons guide).

10. THE SEAFOOD MASSACRE

If you enter the basement of the restaurant via the staircase on the side, and immediately look to your left after entering the door, you will see curtains hanging on the wall. Walking into them and moving them will reveal a poster with Agent 47 on it. At the top of the poster it's written ''Starring Chris Stone''. Chris Stone is the main character in ''Freedom Fighters'', another game by IO-Interactive.

If you climb onto the Scaffolding on the building right across the street from the restaurant. You will see two satellites on the wall. Both read HMC, standing for Hitman Contracts.

11. THE LEE HONG ASSASSINATION

More crates of Kinky Cola can be found in the Guard Quarters.

If you go to the brothel and talk to the girl named Mei Ling. She will promise to tell you the code to the safe if you rescue her. If you go onto the balcony and jump over to another while she's following you, she will shout that she's not going to make it. She will then attempt to make the jump, but fail. If you choose not to help her while she's hanging onto the balcony, she will fall off and die. The weird part is that her body vanishes, and she does not count as a kill.

12. HUNTER AND HUNTED

At the start of the mission, if you look on the wall in your hotel room. You will see an advertisement with a girl on it. This is actually a real advertisement from 1899 of a French can-can dancer who went by her stage name Jane Avril.

Near the reception you will find another advertisement with a girl on it. This is a real advertisement from 1891, advertising the French can-can dancer La Goulue. Both of the two advertisements were painted by the same man, Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec.

Inside the reception you will see a newspaper. It references the famous 24 Hours of LeMon endurance races, where drivers compete to get the most laps within 24 hours.

Behind one of the barricades, there is a mime artist. If you kill him, he will appear alive on the map, regardless of many times you shoot him.

Nice job on this guide!

11 "Lee hong assassination" about mei ling is wrong. She doesn't die, she just runs away to her escape. You can see her running in the map. I know this guide is old but still. Nice guide by the way!
