Invokyr Secret Room: Above the Game Room Ceiling
Last updated:
Quick Answer
Invokyr's secret room sits above the game room ceiling and is reached by platforming up inside the room itself. It holds empty drawers, a newspaper clipping and a six-digit safe opened with 091387. A second hidden space opens behind the dining-room fireplace with the code 071476.
Invokyr’s Secret Room: Above the Game Room Ceiling
The secret room is above the game room ceiling, and you reach it by platforming inside the game room itself. There is no hatch, no stair, and no key to find first — you climb.
Inside the room:
- Empty drawers (set dressing, not missed loot)
- A newspaper clipping recording a family who died “on the evening of Sunday the 13th”
- A safe with a six-digit lock — the
091387safe
That safe is not a dead end. It contains the Corridor Key, which is what unlocks the story corridor.
How to get up there
The platforming is the whole difficulty. Practical notes from the room layout:
- Use furniture as stairs. Tables, shelves and stacked props are the route; you are not looking for an interaction prompt.
- Watch the ceiling line. The entrance reads as a gap in the ceiling geometry, which is easy to miss from floor level with a flashlight pointed forward.
- Do it before the board gets hostile. Platforming with a monster in the room is the most common way players lose the run — clear or wait out the event first.
- Bring a squadmate’s light. In co-op, one player holds a beam on the ceiling gap while the other climbs.
If you have searched the upstairs bedrooms and the attic for a “secret room”, that is the wrong place — this one is inside the game room’s own volume.
The two hidden spaces, and why people confuse them
Invokyr has two concealed interiors, and they are not the same room:
| Hidden space | How it opens | What is inside |
|---|---|---|
| Ceiling room above the game room | Platforming, no lock to reach it | Newspaper clipping, empty drawers, the 091387 safe → Corridor Key |
| Vault behind the dining-room fireplace | Place an idol at the Money Man’s place setting → hidden lock → 071476 opens the fireplace | Gold, idols, Henry’s bedroom key on the statue pedestal |
Both are “secret rooms” in conversation. Neither is a wall compartment behind a picture frame.
The codes, side by side
Because mixing these up is the number one failure:
| Code | Lock | Derivation |
|---|---|---|
091387 | Attic safe in the ceiling room | Newspaper death date (Sunday the 13th) + yearbook “A new beginning - ‘87” → 09/13/87 |
071476 | Dining-room vault lock | Henry’s birthdate: birthday note July 14 + age reference placing his birth in 1976 → 07/14/76 |
Full derivations: safe code and Henry’s Key.
What is not confirmed
Fan guides circulate a few extra secret-room routes that we cannot source. They are listed here as unconfirmed rather than repeated as fact:
- Hidden wall compartments behind picture frames and wainscoting. Common in walkthroughs, absent from the verified puzzle chain and from the official patch notes.
- A cellar wine vault opened by a hidden lever. The only lever the developer’s notes document is the collection room lever that enables Custom Mode — “Pull the lever in the collection room to enable.”
- A grandfather-clock time puzzle. No official note mentions a clock riddle. The oversized toy chest appears in the notes as a biome, not as a chest with a lock.
If any of these turns up hard evidence — a patch note, a developer post, a timestamped clip of the interaction — the table changes and this page gets updated.
If a room sealed itself mid-run
That is the softlock class, not a secret. V0.44.10 fixed room softlocks, collisions, gaps, navigation and blocked item spawns; V0.44.13 fixed a multiplayer loading softlock when entering a board or the shop. See crash and softlock fixes.
