Where are all the Secret Hideouts in Control Resonant?
On this page
Six shops across the city hide six basements. Each one is a small puzzle — an order, a code, a pattern — and each solved puzzle ends in a chest with a Health Upgrade Point. Solve all six and the Backroom Espionage trophy unlocks.
All six Secret Hideout locations
| Zone | Shop | Puzzle answer |
|---|---|---|
| Downtown | Atlantis Cafe | Breaker, then radio → small coffee machine → large coffee brewer → soda machine → microwave → refrigerator |
| Central | Wear'Em & Wash'Em | Match the seven lines on the laundry note: 1 = on, 0 = off |
| Evacuation Zone | Könstig gallery | Journey: middle; Windows: left; Thunder: left; Tides: middle |
| West Incursion Zone | Urban Fresh Mart | 1213 |
| The Park | Atlantis Cafe | BDAC |
| Unknown | Pulse Fitness | Treadmill 0.5 MPH → bike 15 MPH → vending machine → treadmill 15 MPH → bike 0.5 MPH |
Is there a Secret Hideout in the Underpass?
No. The six hideouts are spread across the six zones above — the Underpass has none, so skip it on your sweep.
Downtown: Atlantis Cafe appliance order
Where is the Downtown Atlantis Cafe?
Look for the Atlantis Cafe near the Oldest House — the map marks it with a Secret question mark.
What is the appliance order at the Downtown Atlantis?
Work seven stations in this order — the breaker always comes first, and the two coffee machines are different sizes:
- Turn on the breaker above the sink.
- Radio, on the wall between the booths.
- Small coffee machine, on the corner counter.
- Large coffee brewer, on the back counter.
- Soda machine.
- Microwave.
- Refrigerator.
Where does the hidden passage open?
Back at the breaker wall — the panel beside it swings open once the refrigerator is done. Head downstairs and open the chest for the Health Upgrade Point.
Central: Wear'Em & Wash'Em laundry puzzle
How do you get into the laundromat?
If the door is still blocked, follow the red connection leading out of the shop to the target outside, clear it, and come back — the door opens.
What are the seven laundry lines?
The management note sets the machines line by line: 1 = on, 0 = off. Row 1 gets the middle machine, row 2 the middle two, row 3 both ends, rows 4–6 stay off, and row 7 turns on the machine by the divider column. Match the pattern and the hidden passage opens downstairs.
For the row-by-row layout with photos, see the laundry puzzle guide.
Evacuation Zone: Könstig painting puzzle
Which paintings solve the Könstig gallery puzzle?
The front desk's Paintings Sold note lists Journey, Windows, Thunder, Tides. Leave each group's spotlight on the matching painting — middle, left, left, middle as you face each trio: the road leading to a tree, the branches curling into loops, the lone tree in a green field, the fallen tree over water. When all four are right, every exhibition light turns on.
Where does the gallery passage open?
Walk back to the Journey wall and face the trio — the passage opens at the wall's right corner, with stairs down to the chest. The full mapping with annotated frames is in the painting puzzle guide.
West Incursion Zone: Urban Fresh Mart code
Where is the Urban Fresh Mart?
The mart sits in the West Incursion Zone, just south of the House of Mirrors — the map marks it with a Secret question mark.
What is the Urban Fresh Mart register code?
1213. The Thirst Station machine in the mart flashes 3-1-2-1, and the Reversed Drink Order note from Management flips the order — so the register takes 1213. Enter it and the hidden room opens behind the counter.
For the flashing sequence and the note, see the soda puzzle guide.
The Park: Atlantis Cafe BDAC code
Where is the Park Atlantis Cafe?
The second Atlantis Cafe sits near Research Site in The Park — same chain, different puzzle from the Downtown one.
How do you get the BDAC code?
Read the reservation list at the counter, then look up each reserved table's drink on the menu — each drink carries a letter:
| Table | Drink | Letter |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Iced Coffee | B |
| 5 | The Spiciest Chai | D |
| 4 | Espresso | A |
| 2 | Caramel Latte | C |
Reservation order 1 → 5 → 4 → 2 spells BDAC.
Where do you enter BDAC?
At the register on the counter — punch in BDAC and the hidden passage opens. Downstairs waits the chest.
Unknown: Pulse Fitness workout order
Where is Pulse Fitness?
The gym hides in the Unknown — find the Secret marker on the map and look for the purple Pulse Fitness storefront with the open door.
- Map marking the Pulse Fitness Secret Hideout in the Unknown
- Arrow pointing to the open entrance of Pulse Fitness
What is the treadmill and bike order?
Five interactions, and the screen confirms the speed each time:
- Treadmill: 0.5 MPH.
- Bike: 15 MPH.
- Vending machine.
- Treadmill: 15 MPH.
- Bike: 0.5 MPH.
Health Upgrade Points and Backroom Espionage
How many Health Upgrade Points do the six hideouts give?
One per hideout, six in total — the chest sits downstairs after each puzzle. Three points combine into one maximum-health increase, so the full set is worth two increases.
When does Backroom Espionage unlock?
The trophy pops the moment the final hideout puzzle is solved — before you head downstairs for the last chest. Finishing the last puzzle is the trigger; the chest is just the reward.
If the hidden door will not open
Work the zone you are stuck on:
- Downtown appliances dead? Check the breaker first — nothing responds until the power is on.
- Central door blocked? Clear the target at the end of the red connection outside; inside, re-check the machines that should stay off.
- Gallery door shut? Re-check each trio — all four spotlights must sit on the target paintings at the same time.
- Mart register rejects the code? Enter 1213 — the reverse of the machine's 3-1-2-1 flash.
- Park register rejects the code? Re-derive it: tables 1, 5, 4, 2 on the reservation list, menu letters, BDAC.
- Gym door shut? Re-run the five interactions and confirm the MPH on each screen — 0.5, 15, vending, 15, 0.5.
FAQ
Six — one each in Downtown, Central, the Evacuation Zone, the West Incursion Zone, The Park and the Unknown.
No. The Underpass has no Secret Hideout — the six are spread across the other six zones.
No. The Downtown Atlantis wants a breaker-then-appliances order; the Park Atlantis wants you to derive the register code BDAC from its reservation list and menu. Check which zone’s Atlantis you are standing in before following either answer.
Yes. You can return and complete any missing hideouts after finishing the story.
Each hideout chest gives one Health Upgrade Point, and three points combine into one maximum-health increase — so the six hideouts are worth two full increases.
