What are Secret Rooms?
Secret rooms are a special type of room in Ziggurat. They are accessed by a door, just like any other type of room in the game, but doors to secret rooms are concealed in the game and don't open automatically as you walk by them.

There's one secret room per level.

The room contains a random perk card, which can be useful or not (note that there are perk cards that have somewhat negative effects!) and a spot where you can read a small snippet of information about another Milkstone Studios' game or prototype:



Secret room doors
Remember that secret room doors are... well... doors. That means that there are only a few places on the room that the door will be placed.

You don't need to check every pixel of the walls to find secret doors. Just take a look at where a door should normally be. Eventually you'll just "get" where secret doors might be, and you'll find them pretty quickly.

This is what a secret door looks like (at least on the earliest levels of the game)

.

The door won't open just by walking by it like regular doors. In order to open it, you need to shoot it. It takes a few shots with the magic wand to break the wall and reveal the passage to the secret room
Possible locations
CORRECTION: According to WaaghMan, any room may contain a secret door! So keep your eyes open at the spots where a regular door should be!

Not every room may contain a secret room door! There's no need to look for secret doors everywhere!

Some of this locations may contain a secret room door:
  • Normal rooms
  • Hazard rooms
  • Key rooms

Secret rooms doors will never appear in:
  • Start room
  • Boss room
  • Lore room

They're too easy to find unless you're speedrunning.

Silver's exploit is untrustwrothy, doesn't work all the time (couldn't reproduce at all out of 5 tries), and there are other locations where the walls just bug out, like this: https://steamproxy-script.pipiskins.com/ugc/932687872547823114/736C920F178C012FFE4B705FB8CD008B13C40F12/
On most levels it's really easy to notice the secret door, though a bit problematic on the 2nd because of the cracked textures.
As the wall is destroyable (and counts towards an achievement) if you shoot it with your wound, besides the electric effect, there will be little rock pieces flying - that never happens on normal walls.

@homage Thank you.

In my experience, when the secret door is in a boss room, it is placed close to normal entrance to the boss room. I think this has to do with the way boss rooms are configured. Maybe they only have two potential locations for doors.

Also, walls with decoration (torches, statues, decorative shields, etc.) never have the secret room cracks.

Pro tip for finding those stupidly hard to spot secret rooms on the Quarry level:

Instead of looking for the cracks in the wall, look for the gray cobblestones clipping through at the bottom of the wall. It is present on walls in certain room layouts, but it always seems to occur on the cracked wall and is much easier to spot. Also, ignore spots with torches.

@ Heart a Holic No, never. Exactly one per level.

I know I"m late to the party, but has there ever been an instance of two secret rooms in one level??
