Twisted Tower Secret Areas | All 28 Secret Locations by Zone
Cross-referenced against the official Twisted Tower v1.0.4.4.2 patch notes (released August 25, 2026) by the Twisted Tower Guide editorial team. Last updated September 10, 2026.
Twisted Tower hides roughly 28 secret areas across 18 named journal zones, counting them up floor by floor from the Beach to the Lightspeed Pass. Finding every last one inside a single playthrough unlocks Secret Safari, one of the rarest exploration trophies in the game and a genuinely tricky one, because paths lock between runs and at least one secret can be missed permanently. Here's the complete zone-by-zone map of what to hunt and where to look. When you start your sweep, open the interactive secret checklist in a second tab and tick zones off as you clear them.
How Secret Tracking Works
- Your Journal is the checklist. It lists the main quest, every location, and a found/total counter per area: Lobby (0/2) means two secrets are still hidden there. Open it whenever you think you've swept a zone.
- Two achievements hook into secrets. Secret Spectacle pops for uncovering your first one; Secret Safari demands every hidden secret area in a single playthrough, so if Safari is your goal, don't save the sweep for a replay.
- Movement unlocks reopen old ground. Fairy Wings, Bouncy Boots, and the Jet Pack expose ledges and drops you couldn't reach earlier, and many late-game secrets sit exactly on those routes.
- Replays mix reuse with lockouts. On Adventure Plus runs, some zones reuse the same secret spots as your first playthrough, but the randomized paths can also block areas you could reach before. Players report finishing a replay stuck at 24 of the tower's secrets for exactly this reason.
⚠️ Missable secret alert
The Giggle Coaster secret appears to be one-way: players who skip it during that stretch report being unable to return: riding the coaster backwards dead-ends at an unclimbable hole. Grab it while you're there.
The Five Floors at a Glance
Before the landmark-by-landmark table, here is the whole hunt compressed into one view: how the 18 journal zones and their secret counts distribute across the five floors. Use it to decide which floor deserves a second pass when your total counter stalls.
| Floor | Journal Zones | Secrets | Watch Out For |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1. The Hotel | Beach, Lobby, Lobby: Basement, Hotel Bridge, Kids Corner, Family Center, Quackin’ Cocktails, Honeymoon Suites | 11 | The Kids Corner secret is logged as first-run by one guide and Adventure Plus by another |
| 2. The Waterpark | Mermaid Palace, West Poolrooms, The Crimson Pearl, Nipples Bridge | 7 | Several vents are grapple-only, so some spots wait for the Harpoon |
| 3. The Clown Casino | Gamblin’ Hall, Giggle Coaster | 3 | The Giggle Coaster secret is reported as missable once you move on |
| 4. The Carnival Forest | Carnival, Godmother Maze | 4 | The Carnival cart secret needs you to stop at the right spot, not ride past |
| 5. The Space Station | Lightspeed Pass (tracked as two Journal sections) | 3 | One secret sits in the Martian Discovery Ride section |
| Total | 18 zones | 28 | A Journal counter capped at 27 was a pre-patch bug; official patch v1.0.4.4.2 (Aug 25, 2026) fixed the Journal total. Trust the in-game count on an updated build. |
All Zones & Their Secret Locations
The table below lists every journal zone bottom-to-top with its secret count and the landmark each hiding spot hangs on. Nothing here is guesswork, but nothing here is developer-published either: the tower has no official secret list, so confirm each line against your in-game Journal counter as you clear a zone.
| Journal Zone | Secrets | Where to Look |
|---|---|---|
| Beach | 2 | Secret 1 sits atop the climbable structure near the start; Secret 2 waits up the stairs: turn left behind the tree right before the first TV. |
| Lobby | 2 | Hug the left side when you enter: the left stairway leads to a corner ledge holding the secret. The second Lobby secret unlocks later, when you drop back down out of the Basement. |
| Lobby: Basement | 1 | In the basement, turn right into the only open room, then take another right: walk straight into the poster you are facing and the secret is behind it. |
| Hotel Bridge | 1 | On the bridge, spot the wooden plank on your right that leads underneath; the secret hides below. |
| Hotel: Kids Corner | 1 | Take the stairs and look on the right side: the secret sits behind the box. Logged as a first-run secret by one guide and an Adventure Plus secret by another. Check both runs. |
| Hotel: Family Center | 2 | Secret 1: at the hub with the locked "bedrooms" door, take the left turn and go to the end of the hall. Secret 2: after the room flips later in the level, turn left again. |
| Hotel: Quackin' Cocktails | 1 | Shortly after pulling the lever and the TV encounter, turn right into the next room; it's behind the statue. |
| Hotel: Honeymoon Suites | 1 | Go through the suite door, turn right into the room with the broken floor, and look straight ahead: the way in is a hidden door in front of you. |
| Mermaid Palace | 2 | Documented as the East Poolrooms. Secret 1: turn left into the showers, right again into the hidden corner, then down the vent in that corner and left through the barrier. Secret 2: at the long hallway, take the dead-end right and look up for a vent you can grapple into. |
| Mermaid Palace: West Poolrooms | 2 | Secret 1: after lowering the wall, pass the spikes and grapple up to the vent high on the left, by the bonfire. Secret 2: once the electricity is on and you have grappled to the second half of the poolrooms, turn left at the lockers, take the first left, and climb to the gap in the wall. |
| Mermaid Palace: The Crimson Pearl | 2 | Secret 1: when you first land, drop into the water below you; a hidden vent is down there. Secret 2: after opening the blue door, turn left (again) and climb up to the platform. |
| Nipples Bridge | 1 | When you reach the bridge, turn right onto the ledge and look down: the secret is on the shelf below it. |
| Clown Casino: Gamblin' Hall | 2 | Secret 1: when the door opens behind you, take the small tunnel under one of the platforms. Secret 2: after the TV, use the lever on the second slot machine to open the key door, then look left: the secret area is a grapple away. |
| Clown Casino: Giggle Coaster | 1 | Approaching the open stair door the first time triggers an encounter; after it, go up the stairs, take the lever right behind the cube to reveal the way behind the painting, and grapple up. On Adventure Plus runs the same lever sits behind the cube in the room to the right of that hall. |
| Fairground Forest: Carnival | 2 | Secret 1: a parkour line. Head for the huge spider on top of the stone at the entrance, the secret is under it on the rock. Secret 2: when you reach the cart, the secret is off to your right, so stop at the right spot instead of riding past. |
| Fairground Forest: Godmother Maze | 2 | Both are in the opening maze area: Secret 1 hides behind the lit-up caravan on your left as you enter; Secret 2 is behind the huge statue a little further in. |
| Lightspeed Passtracked as two separate sections in the Journal | 3 | Lightspeed Pass (2): step out of the elevator, turn right and follow the ledge for Secret 1; keep going to the grapple-up point and take the parkour route to its left for Secret 2. Martian Discovery Ride (1): jump right, enter the tunnel in the wall on your left, then turn left again inside. |
| Total | 28* | *Zone tallies from detailed playthrough guides sum to 28. On builds before patch v1.0.4.4.2 (August 25, 2026), older saves whose outdated route information could incorrectly display 27 available secrets, a bug the official patch note explicitly fixes (“Fixed the Secret Journal total so every valid route correctly tracks secrets”). Lightspeed Pass is tracked in two Journal sections. Trust your in-game Journal on an updated build. |
📚 Where these locations come from
Atmos Games and 3D Realms have never published a secret list for Twisted Tower, so the hiding spots above are documented from the two most detailed player guides for the released game: "Twisted Tower: All Secret Locations (Secret Safari achievement)" by DonaldCrack (screenshot-and-landmark walkthrough, updated Sep 3, 2026), cross-checked against the timestamped video index "Secret Locations" by Crazy4Nuutz (updated Aug 31, 2026). The two guides disagree on whether the Kids Corner and West Poolrooms secrets belong to the first run or to Adventure Plus, so if a spot is not in your Journal, check the other run before assuming it is bugged.

Tips for a Clean Secret Safari Run
- Check the counter before leaving every zone. The Journal shows exactly what's missing: a zone reading 0/2 means keep hunting before you board onward.
- Look left. A running joke among hunters: most of the tower's secrets tuck into left-side corners, halls, and ledges rather than the obvious forward path.
- Revisit early floors late. Once the Jet Pack and Bouncy Boots are yours, backtrack through the Hotel stretch: ledges that were decoration on the way past are often secret platforms.
- Pair Safari with a relaxed first run. Because Safari requires one playthrough, chasing it during a no-death or speedrun attempt stacks too much pressure. Do secrets on their own run.
Secrets FAQ
How many secrets are in Twisted Tower?
28 secret areas spread across 18 journal zones, from the opening Beach to the Lightspeed Pass near the tower's peak.
What do I get for finding secrets?
Your first secret earns the Secret Spectacle achievement, and finding them all within a single playthrough earns Secret Safari. Secrets also reward exploration with tickets and other pickups along the way.
Is there an official list of secret locations?
No. Neither Atmos Games nor 3D Realms has published a secret list or map for Twisted Tower; the only reference material is player documentation of the released game, which is what this table is built from. The in-game Journal counter stays the authority.
Can I finish Secret Safari in Adventure Plus?
Safari specifies a single playthrough, so plan the sweep for one continuous run. Adventure Plus replays reuse several of the same secret locations, which makes practicing routes easier, but the clean sweep should happen in one sitting.
