Twisted Tower is a rather short game, especially for an FPS horror, and it only takes a handful of hours for you to reach the end if you aren’t achievement hunting. The game actually gives you a tool to help you track the secrets you’ve found and find if you missed anything, and I recommend making use of this if you want to get the Secret Safari achievement.
This tool is your journal. In your journal, you’ll find locations have numbers by them, so it might say something like “Lobby 0/2,” meaning there are two secrets in the lobby area and you haven’t found either of them yet. Having this available during your 100% run means you can check if you found everything before moving to the next section.
There’s an achievement for completing Twisted Tower in under four hours, and I suggest aiming for that during a different run from this walkthrough, as the focus here is collectibles and secrets. For this game, collectibles come in the form of secret areas that you collect by visiting them.
This walkthrough is a work-in-progress. Be sure to check back as I update it!

Twisted Tower Beach
This is the area you end up in right after the opening cutscene ends. Go under the admissions area to grab the hammer on the other side, then turn around and jump onto the roof of the admissions structure on the docks for the first secret area.
Next, you’ll go through a tutorial for crouching, sprinting, and sliding as you head up the stairs and through the path to the tower’s lobby. At the lobby entrance, there’s a small TV. When you slide under some planks and see the TV, immediately go into the tiny section to the left by the tree to grab the second secret and some tickets.
With that, it’s time to enter the tower’s lobby.
Tower Lobby Part 1
This area has some secrets that you can’t get yet, so I’m calling it part 1. I’ll come back to this with a second part later in the game to grab the secrets that aren’t yet accessible. With that in mind, you grab only one secret here for now, but don’t worry that your journal shows a missing second one for now.
Head inside and open the gate under the sign that says “Ascend to Your Dreams” by using the lever on the right side. The gate in the next area will open by itself once you get closer.
Next, go through the door that says “Don’t Break the Cameras” above it. I absolutely did break the cameras because that blood smear isn’t going to tell me what to do. The reward is a bit of dialog. Once you go through the door here, you enter the lobby.
As you enter the lobby, go to the left and up the stairs. Here, you can use the Real Boy Station to purchase upgrades. Then, go up the stairs on the left again. You find a popcorn station in the corner and can climb on the tent over it. Also, the popcorn restores your health, so grab that.
Hop onto the ledge and you have the first secret. This is the only one we’re getting right now, so go to the hotel bridge next.
Hotel Secret Areas
To go to the hotel, head over to the elevator to the right of the popcorn stand. There’s a ticket inside that you pick up and put in the elevator, letting you go to the hotel.
Hotel Bridge Secret
After the elevator you need to cross a bridge to get to the hotel. The bridge has one secret collectible to pick up.
As you start crossing, you’ll find a path on the left that lets you go under the bridge. This is the secret area collectible. Then, continue across the bridge to enter the Twisted Tower hotel’s kids corner and family center.
Hotel Family Center
When you enter the family center, an enemy is waiting for you. Take care of him, then head down the stairs on the right. Go around the back and down more stairs to end up on the grated off area you saw when you first entered the center, which is the first secret area here.
If you hear some jingling, look down. The toy telephone monsters are easy to miss if you aren’t looking, but this audio signal will help you know when they’re coming after you.
Now, go back to the room with the fireplace and head through the door on the opposite wall.
Kids Corner
Through the hallway and to the left, you find the kids corner. You can stop at the Real Boy Station on the right to upgrade before heading over if you want. In the kids corner, there’s a box on the opposite side of the stairs near the sign that encourages drinking. Look behind it for the secret area.
As a side note, this area wasn’t available in my first run, so I had to return in a second run for it since the path is random. However, if you have it on your first run, go ahead and grab the secret here.
Family Center Second Secret
Continue to the dinner and a show area and be ready to fight enemies as soon as you’re close to it. Obviously, I’m going to slide under the planks that say no sliding on the right side of this next room, letting me grab a bunch of tickets.
Then, it’s time to actually go through the door, where you’re once again met by more enemies. Go through the next door for a checkpoint, and you’re now in the dining hall. Listen to the TV, then go through the dining room. There’s not much here, but you can pick up some tickets and you get Miss Fire, a gun, from the stage.
As soon as you start to leave, the door closes and you’re ambushed by enemies. There are a mix of melee and ranged enemies, so I stayed behind a piece of the stage for cover, forcing the enemies to come to me. Don’t worry about using ammo here, as you can loot the enemies for bullets after.
Go into the room behind the stage and flip it. Get back on the stage, then the plank, and turn left to get to the second secret area of the family center.
From here, backtrack your path through the dining hall now that it’s upside down. After you meet Gordon, there’s a lever you pull to the left. To the right of that lever, you break the grate and head into the vent.
Out of the vent, you’ll face more enemies. Then, you can grab the red key to get into Quackin’ Cocktails.
Hotel Quackin’ Cocktails
Quackin’ Cocktails has only one secret area, so let’s get to it. Inside, you’ll find some containers that you can spend tickets to open in exchange for food and ammo.
You can then find more tickets on the upper and lower levels of the dining area here, then head through the door to the kitchen. Just kidding. It locks and you have to fight another ambush of enemies. Defeat them, then you can enter the kitchen.
After fighting Mr. Quackers, hit the panel with stairs on it to flip the staircase in the dining area, letting you move on through the new path. Sprint and jump over the trap door to avoid damage.
Continue through the hallway to enter a room with a lever immediately on the right wall that you want to pull. Jump to the lower level, defeat the enemies there, then continue through the door that you just opened with the lever.
Through the door, you get to watch a new video on the TV of Vincent’s past. Now, go to the right. Instead of going up the stairs, go into the little side room and behind the statue for the secret area of Quackin’ Cocktails.
Then, return and go up the stairs you passed by, letting you return to the family center and finish this section.
