Twisted Tower Walkthrough | The Full Climb
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 sends you climbing an abandoned 1950s theme park, floor by floor, to the top and to the person you came to save. Released August 18, 2026, the game is built around five distinct floors, a Journal that tracks every area, and movement unlocks that constantly reopen old ground. Here is the confirmed route up.
The Route at a Glance
Five floors, four movement tools, roughly 28 secret areas. The table below is the whole climb in one view; the detailed sections underneath cover how the pieces fit together.
| Floor | Journal Zones | What Defines It |
|---|---|---|
| 1. The Hotel | Beach → Lobby → Basement → Hotel Bridge → Kids Corner → Family Center → Quackin' Cocktails → Honeymoon Suites | Mascots teach you the combat loop through the resort wings |
| 2. The Waterpark | Mermaid Palace → West Poolrooms → The Crimson Pearl | Flooded halls and vertical chases; one of the bigger set pieces |
| 3. The Clown Casino | Gamblin' Hall → Giggle Coaster | A rigged casino floor where the environment itself hunts you |
| 4. The Carnival Forest | Carnival → Godmother Maze | Rides and traps strung through a twisted woodland midway |
| 5. The Space Station | Lightspeed Pass | The surreal final level where the story and last bosses wait |
Before You Leave Each Floor
The checkpoint habit is what separates a clean climb from a replay spent hunting one missed counter. The table carries the zone and secret counts from the secrets guide and pairs each floor with the one thing worth verifying before you board onward.
| Floor | Zones / Secrets | Check Before Moving Up |
|---|---|---|
| 1. The Hotel | 8 / 11 | Chase each zone’s counter to zero. The Kids Corner secret is logged as a first-run secret by one guide and an Adventure Plus secret by another, so check both runs if it does not pop. |
| 2. The Waterpark | 4 / 7 | Some vents here are grapple-only. If the Crimson Pearl or West Poolrooms counters are stuck, come back with the Harpoon before leaving the floor. |
| 3. The Clown Casino | 2 / 3 | The hard rule of the run: grab the Giggle Coaster secret, behind the lever and the cube, before moving on. Players report it as unreachable afterward. |
| 4. The Carnival Forest | 2 / 4 | Both zones hide secrets behind fixed landmarks: the lit-up caravan and the huge statue in the Godmother Maze, the spider stone and the cart in the Carnival. |
| 5. The Space Station | 2 / 3 | Lightspeed Pass is tracked as two Journal sections, and one secret sits in the Martian Discovery Ride tunnel. Check both counters at the top. |
Choose Your Route
Three ways up the tower, depending on what you want out of the climb. Each route leans on a different set of the game’s systems, and none of them requires you to see everything in one run.
🏃 The Story Rush
Mainline the quest and ignore optional counters: a focused first climb lands well under the four-hour Speedy Spree mark. You’ll still pass most secrets on the way; don’t detour for them yet.
🔍 The Full Sweep
Chase every Journal counter to 0 remaining across the 18 named zones for Secret Safari. The one hard rule: clear the Clown Casino’s counter before moving up; the Giggle Coaster secret is reported as missable afterward. The secrets guide lists every zone’s count and hiding spots.
⚡ The Challenge Hunter
Finish the story once, then use Adventure Plus with your upgraded arsenal for the No-Death Daredevil run and Plus Mode Pandemonium for the final clear. Learning the bounce and glide shortcuts early pays off in both.
How the Climb Is Structured
The five official floors break down into smaller named areas on your in-game Journal. The Journal is your progress map: it lists the main quest, every area, and a secret counter for each one: for example Lobby (0/2) means two hidden secrets are still waiting there. If you are ever unsure what to do next, open the Journal and chase whatever counter is incomplete. For the hazard rooms scattered along the climb, the puzzle environments guide covers what is confirmed about each type.
Floor 1: The Hotel
Journal areas: Beach → Lobby → Basement → Hotel Bridge → Kids Corner → Family Center → Quackin' Cocktails → Honeymoon Suites
The opening stretch. You wash up outside the abandoned resort, climb into the Lobby, and work through the hotel wings while the corrupted fairy-tale mascots teach you the combat loop. Your Journal splits this floor into named areas, and each one hides its own secrets.
Floor 2: The Waterpark
Journal areas: Mermaid Palace → West Poolrooms → The Crimson Pearl
A flooded, decaying waterpark. Water and vertical space change how mascots chase you across the level, and the Crimson Pearl sub-area holds one of the tower's bigger set-piece encounters.
Floor 3: The Clown Casino
Journal areas: Gamblin' Hall → Giggle Coaster
A rigged casino floor themed around carnival games and slot machines, where the environment itself is part of the threat. Tickets you earn here feed straight back into weapon and upgrade purchases.
Floor 4: The Carnival Forest
Journal areas: Carnival → Godmother Maze
A twisted woodland midway with carnival rides and traps strung through the trees. The Godmother Maze rewards players who read the environment rather than sprint it.
Floor 5: The Space Station
Journal areas: Lightspeed Pass
The surreal final level: a retro-futuristic space station sitting at the top of the tower, where the story reaches its climax and the tower's last bosses wait.
Movement Unlocks Reopen the Tower
Twisted Tower gates its climb Metroid-style: you collect four movement tools on the way up, and each one quietly turns old floors into shortcuts and exposes ledges you could not reach before.
| Unlock | What It Changes |
|---|---|
| Harpoon | Your first real movement/combat tool. Snagging it unlocks the Harpoon Hero achievement early in the climb. |
| Fairy Wings | Opens up glide lines across big drops; several secret ledges are only reachable once you can fly. |
| Bouncy Boots | Turns every fall into momentum. Bounce routes shortcut whole wings of the Hotel. |
| Twisted Jet Pack | The late-climb traversal payoff. Vertical sections that felt like walls become elevators. |
Each tool also carries its own achievement (Harpoon Hero, Dashingly Handsome for Fairy Wings, Bouncy Boot Bonanza, and Jet Pack Joe), so simply progressing the story collects all four trophies along the way.
Tickets, Weapons & Upgrades
- Tickets are the park's currency. Grab a hundred for the Tickets, Tickets, Tickets! achievement and hoard two thousand for Ticket Titan; spend them on weapons and upgrades at the park's vendors.
- Every weapon has an alternate fire. Alt Fire Fiend wants every available alternate fire upgraded, and Weapon Wizard pushes all weapons to max, so budget tickets accordingly instead of dumping them into one gun. The full roster with alternate-fire notes lives in the weapons guide.
- Combat stays toy-themed throughout. Mascots go down to whatever ridiculous thing you are holding, but bosses reward dodging far more than raw firepower.
Replay Modes & Challenge Achievements
Finishing the tower is only the middle of the game. Two harder replay tiers await: Adventure Plus dives back into the tower with your loadout, and Plus Mode Pandemonium asks for one more full clear on top of that. Three achievements turn those replays into real challenges:
| Achievement | Requirement |
|---|---|
| Speedy Spree | Scale the tower in under four hours. That is a genuine speedrun pace, so learn the bounce and glide shortcuts first. |
| No-Death Daredevil | Complete the quest without a single death. Play conservative, bank saves, and leave risky secret-hunting for another run. |
| Charlotte's Hero | Scale the entire tower, start to finish: the story-completion trophy. |
Don't Climb Past the Secrets
The tower hides roughly 28 secret areas across 18 journal zones (builds before the official v1.0.4.4.2 patch of August 25, 2026 could show older saves with a Journal counter wrongly capped at 27; that patch fixed the Secret Journal total; see our secrets guide for the breakdown), and finding them all in a single playthrough earns the rarest exploration trophy in the game, Secret Safari. Watch out for the Giggle Coaster: its secret is reported as missable once you move on. Because movement unlocks keep reopening old floors, most players sweep secrets naturally on their Adventure Plus run instead of backtracking mid-climb.

Editor’s Synthesis
Put the tables on this page together and the climb resolves into three moves. Move one: run the Story Rush and let the checkpoint table run in the background, because a focused first climb lands under the four-hour mark while the Journal quietly logs what you skipped. Move two: return in Adventure Plus, where the movement kit turns the Hotel wings into bounce routes and the Waterpark vents into grapple stops, and sweep the counters you left behind; the movement unlocks are the reason the second pass costs a fraction of the first. Move three: only then decide between Speedy Spree and No-Death Daredevil, because both ask for a run built around them, and building one around secret hunting at the same time is what stalls runs in the Casino. One counter deserves an exception on the first pass regardless of plan: the Giggle Coaster secret on Floor 3, which players report as gone for good once you ride on.
Walkthrough FAQ
How long is Twisted Tower?
A focused first climb runs well under the four-hour Speedy Spree mark if you mainline the quest. Completionists who sweep every secret, max every weapon, and clear both replay modes should budget several full runs.
Can I backtrack to earlier floors?
Yes, and the game expects you to. Movement unlocks constantly reopen earlier floors, and the Journal keeps a running secret counter for every zone so you can see what you left behind.
What should I do first after beating the game?
Start Adventure Plus with your upgraded arsenal, sweep the secrets you missed for Secret Safari, then decide whether the No-Death Daredevil or Speedy Spree challenge fits your build better.
