Secret Hideouts

Secret Hideouts are a type of Secret in Control Resonant. A secret organization is against the FBC, and you can find their secret spots if you complete puzzles in specific locations. Plus, you'll get sweet rewards in the form of Health Upgrade Points, as well as Documents with sweet information from this organization.

In this guide, we will go over every Secret Hideout location, how to solve their riddles, and all the rewards you'll get from them. There are six hideouts in total, so let's not waste more time.

• Downtown Secret Hideout
• Central Secret Hideout
• West Incursion Zone Secret Hideout
• The Park Secret Hideout
• Evacuation Zone Secret Hideout
• The Unknown Secret Hideout

Downtown Secret Hideout

If you go past the Oldest House, on the northwestern side of it, you'll find an Atlantis café that you can enter.

A short puzzle awaits inside, and you need to go to the counter on the right to read a piece of paper.

This has the "Shop Opening Instructions" written down, and it tells you that you need to "start from the smallest appliance and end with the largest one". This refers to the different electronic devices that you'll find in the café. But first, you need to go past the counter and interact with the power box on the wall.

Now we have to turn on all the devices, following the size hint. If you check the counter, you'll find five devices. However, there's a small trap here: the smallest one is a radio on the other side of the room, and you need to turn it on first.

Once the radio is on, return to the counter and turn on the devices in this order:

• Small coffee machine on the right side (right of the fridge).
• Bigger coffee machine on the left side of the fridge.
• Soda machine (on the left of the previous device).
• Microwave (the device on the left end).
• Fridge.

Once that's done, the Secret Hideout will be open. Explore it for a Health Upgrade Point and three Documents: Clarification of Mandate, Report on 34 Thomas Street, and Report on Unidentified Female Subject.

Central Secret Hideout

For the Secret Hideout in Central, you need to find a laundry on the eastern side of the Zone. Open your map and mark the horizontal street right above the legend "East Park Station". This will be south of a park.

Here, you'll have a riddle involving the washing machines around you. First, you need to check the While You Wait piece of paper on the board.

This has a series of number combinations:

• 0001000
• 001100
• 100001
• 000000
• 000000
• 000000
• 100000

What you need to do to solve the puzzle is to represent these numbers with the lines of washing machines. "0" represents turned off, while "1" represents turned on. There are machines with an "out of order" sign, which means that they will always be 0, but you can turn on the rest (you'll see green numbers on the screen when they are turned on).

For example, start with the line of washing machines on the left side of the place. Here you can only turn on the machine in the middle, and you should, because you'll create the first number combination: 0001000.

In front of this line, you'll see four out-of-order washing machines, and two next to each other that work. Turn them on for 001100.

In the middle, on the left side, there's a line of six machines where only the two at the extremes can be turned on. Let's give them power and create 100001.

Leave the opposing line of washing machines turned off, since we need a 000000. The last line that you need is on the right side of the store, close to the entrance. Turn on the first washing machine on the left.

And there we have our last combination. Now the Secret Hideout will be unlocked, so you can explore it. You'll find a Health Upgrade Point and the Documents Visitation and Stay Protocol and Do Not Leave The Shelter.

West Incursion Zone Secret Hideout

In the West Incursion Zone, go to the western side of the region and north of the West Supply Route Station and Museum of Curiosities. You'll find a small market here.

Enter and go to the wall in front of you. On the left side, you'll find a piece of paper on a box that refers to a soda machine and its flashing lights.

Before going to said machine, go to the counter (left side of the store) and find another piece of paper that says that "the drink order is reversed".

Okay, now go to the soda dispenser close to the entrance. If you interact with it, you'll notice that the four flavors will turn on in a different order. To solve this riddle, you have to write down which ones flash, from left to right.

Once you have that number, remember the second piece of paper that we checked: we need to reverse the number. That means that the solution is 1-2-1-3. You need to input this number in the cash register at the counter.

The secret door will open, and now you can explore the hideout for a Health Upgrade Point and four Documents: Avoid The French Delegation, Audit Outcome, Hunka Love, and Streaming Open Envelopes.

The Park Secret Hideout

Go to the southeastern side of The Park, and you'll find a café called Atlantis. Go inside for the area's Secret Hideout.

The first thing that you have to do is go to the counter on the right side and read a sheet of paper that says "Table reservations". It lists four tables: 1, 5, 4, and 2.

Now you need to pick up the menu, which is in the same area (a bit to the right, close to the dressing bottles). Here you will read the Coffee Menu: A - Espresso $3.00, B - Iced Coffee $3.50, C - Caramel Latte $4.50, and D - The Spiciest Chai $3.50.

The prices don't matter; what you need to do here is go to the left side of the coffee and check the tables. You'll find a number on them, and you can interact with a picture that shows what type of coffee the clients had there.

To solve the puzzle, you need to memorize what the reserved tables had, in the same order that they appear on the piece of paper, and write down the letters.

The solution is BDAC. You need to put this on the cash register, on the right side of the café (close to where you found the first documents).

Once you do, the entrance to the Secret Hideout will be open. Explore this small area for a Health Upgrade Point and the Documents Fuck You, Larry Note and Notice Of Decommissioning.

Evacuation Zone Secret Hideout

Around the center of the Evacuation Zone, past the Fast Travel Door, you’ll find a museum/art exhibition called Echo, by Charlie-Meecham.

When you enter the place, you can pick up a Document at the front desk, which mentions the paintings sold: “Journey, Windows, Thunder, and Tides”.

This is the riddle for the museum’s puzzle, and you need to interact with the paintings on the walls to solve it. You will find light switches close to every group of paintings, and you need to illuminate the pictures that best represent the words you found on the document.

Let’s start with the first wall on the left. The picture you need to illuminate is the one in the middle, which shows a path with a tree at the end.

Secondly, move to the wall at the front. You need the first picture from left to right, which shows a bunch of twisted branches.

Then move to the right side (next to the pictures at the front). Illuminate the first picture on the left: a plainside with a big tree in the middle.

For the last picture, you need to interact with the second group on the wall on the right side. Highlight the picture in the middle: a fallen tree on the water.

If you have successfully illuminated these four pictures, you’ll unlock the entrance to a secret passage – it’s located on the left of the front wall. Explore these rooms, and you will find two Documents, plus an ice cream crate with a Health Upgrade Point.

The Unknown Secret Hideout

The last Secret Hideout will be in the last Zone in the game, The Unknown. Visit the central area, go to the twisted side (the buildings and streets above you; shift the gravity to reach them), and explore the northeastern side of this area.

You'll find a Pulse Fitness gym. Enter it, go to the vending machine in front of you, and open the door on the right side.

Enter the room and go to the cardboard on the wall. It will have a pamphlet that we need: Workout Instructions.

This will explain a routine that consists of: "a relaxing stroll, a furious cycling, a vending machine break, an invigorating run, and a leisurely ride".

What you need to do is use the treadmill and the exercise bike inside the gym (one is near the entrance, the other one is in the room past the vending machine).

Go to the treadmill first, and interact with the right side, which says 0.5 MPH.

Then go to the bike and press the left side, which reads 15 MPH.

Go to the vending machine (remember, in front of the door that you opened before), and interact with it. Now you need to do the reverse action: go to the treadmill and interact with the left side (15 MPH), and then return to the exercise bike and press the 0.5 MPH side.

This will open the last Secret Hideout, where you'll find another Health Upgrade Point and the final Document from the organization: Procedure For Work Orders.
