  1. thrawn says:

    The passage is quite obviously under the shelving. The knobs are a diversion.

  2. Margaret says:

    the knobs are there to confuse burglars … the secret passage is through the orange bucket..

  3. enigma_0Z says:

    No, you need to use the PROPER sequence to open the secret passage, turning just ONE knob is waaaay to easy…

    Turn the top one a quarter turn right, knock two times, turn the second from the bottom one half a turn left, knock once, and then turn the second from the top and bottom ones one complete turn simultaneously. THEN you’ll see the secret passage open… If you get soaked instead, you did it wrong.

      Welcome to MYST: Redneck Edition.

    • Tessa says:

      Actually if you get soaked means you’ve got it all wrong. If you get to close to finding the right sequence but still miss a part of it, you will activate the security protocol. I’m only authorized to tell you it involves the bucket.

      Trust me, you do NOT want to know how the bucket works.

      • Zocktoast says:

        Consider yourself lucky if you just get “soaked”. Touching ANY of the knobs will get you sprayed with a deadly nerve gas. The real entrance is activated by picking up the crusty rag stuck to the edge of the orange security-protocol bucket.

    • CrookedPenguin says:

      Exactly what I was going to say. But I was pretty sure that it was second from the bottom 3/4 of a turn to the right… ;p

    • 007 says:

      thats what they want you to think. first you have to open up the 3rd knob all the way. you will hear a clicking sound. a small key will drop from the ceiling. under the bucket is a small keyhole which you must insert the key into. DON’T TURN THE KEY. next close up the knob you just opened. grab the first and fourth knob simultaneously. u have to turn the top one to the left at 30 rpm while you wiggle the fourth one. if done correctly the fourth knob will come off. now turn the key. when you turn it water will start pouring out of the 4th knob hole.u neeed to let precisely 1.4 gallons pour out then block the hole. while holding the fourth knob in place push the screw in the middle of the third knob. this will alow you to remove the whole pipe. water will continue to pour out. however once the water become knee deep the black wall will collapse. that is your way out

  4. Sarcastoid says:

    Last!

    Oh wait…did I get that backwards?!

  5. nogphille says:

    it’s probably more like a safelock… turn first valve 90°, etc.
    then mario can finally resque that hostageprone princess of his…

  6. JMixx says:

    Turning any of these knobs will cause you to be sprayed liberally with scalding hot water. Therefore, the answer is “all of the above,” assuming that by “secret passage” you mean “ambulance ride to the burn unit.”

  7. Maya Angelou says:

    this is gonna be in next saw movie

  8. PipeMasterMario says:

    the very bottom one is a Master kill to stop all water if you have a rupture.
    The one above is a Sub Master to use the spigot while you trying to find out where the leak is… Drinking water, bucket for clothes washer, toilets, dishes.
    The one at the top is the secondary sub master probably to another apartment.

  9. bob_super says:

    Just checked the original plans from Bloody Stupid Johnson, the secret passage opens when you twist the pipe instead of the knob.

  10. Edwin says:

    So thats where BP got the capping idea from!

  11. DrewE says:

    The poll is clearly part of the diversion, but when I realized that, things started to make sense. There are five valve knobs, but only four identified in the poll; so logically, the correct one is likely the valve not listed in the poll (i.e. the second one from the bottom).

  12. The knob turning the valves opens the secret passage. It’s a trap door, triggered by standing on it to turn faucets.

  13. Sniffer says:

    How about the loose brick behind the photographer? You know, the on with the sign saying “Secret Passage here”?

    • serenek says:

      i tried that one. i makes p**p hit your cat in the right ear. only I know the true entry! MUHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

  14. Thadius says:

    Actually, you’re supposed to use Morse code by tapping on the pipe with a wrench. After you’ve answered the questions three, you’ll be allowed entrance.

    …Wait I shouldn’t be giving out how to enter my secret lair…

  15. Czernobog says:

    Or is it more of a “rite of passage”?

    “The hot water is running again. Now you are a man, son.”

  16. ruhubdarb pie says:

    you have to twist them in a certain archaic pattern and/or order to unlock the keypad where you have to put in a secret code that shows you where the door is and then you have to speak the secret code “helgrind” for it to open into a room with a bunch of doors and if you choose the right door you enter the woderful world of Alagaesia

  17. alfredo_3917 says:

    there is a sequence wich you must follow, first clap 3 times, open top knob, then must slap pedobear twice, open bottom knob, then close both knobs. THAT will open the secret passage

  18. Felina says:

    No, obviously you smack the wall with a sledge hammer. Not very discreet, but effective

  19. Felina says:

    Wait, no, my psycic powers are kicking in. You spray the cat and he jumps onto the ceiling pipe which is a lever that opens a door to Narnia.

  20. Asteria says:

    You have to open all of them to open the secret passageway, but you have to open them the exact right amount in the exact right order until they’re all open all the way. If you mess up, you have to close everything and start again until you get it right or get bored and decide the secret passage isn’t worth it.

  21. fwerd says:

    no combination of any of those nobs will work. you have to turn the ball valve hose handle is hidden behind the pipe between the top and second top valve.
    Go ahead, look, it’s there.

  22. Romarico says:

    Obviosly the knobs must be opened in a secret combination to open the secret passage

  23. Nerd says:

    This was obviously constructed by someone playing Pipe Dream in real life.

  24. breadbocks says:

    It is obviously a secret order. You must turn them in the order 2,4,3,3,1, then you must pull out the branch on the left precisely 1.538cm. You can then turn around 97.32 degrees clockwise, and say the password.

  25. smeaghan says:

    Actually, the passage only opens if you speak in parseltongue to the second valve from the bottom, which has a tiny snake carving. If you see a pair of big yellow eyes, don’t blame me.

  26. Mickial says:

    The real way to open it is to hold the white pipe down while turning the bottom knob clockwise 90 degrees. This will unlatch a secret panel behind the shelves. Hold the button behind the panel down while turning the top knob counterclockwise 45 degrees. This will unlatch a panel in the bucket. DO NOT REACH FOR THE BUTTON IN THE BUCKET, it’s a trap. Instead, rotate the bucket itself 180 Degrees. This will unlock the middle knob. Turn it counter clock wise to allow water to flow to the tank upstairs, counter balancing the platform that the key out is on.

  27. Guzzo says:

  28. Beenie says:

    my knob opens a secret passage ;)

  29. Jossoef says:

    Isn’t it obvious? The valves are only there to distract you from the fact that this is a perfectly functional ladder.
    The secret passage is the usual space above the ceiling. You crawl along untill it gives way over the Ladies room, or Mens, whatever strikes your fancy.

  30. siriusdelirious.com says:

    The knob with the secret passage is obviously the knob who created all this.

  31. crazy_coco50 says:

    You don’t turn any of the knobs. That will trigger the security protocol of getting doused with gasoline by the pipes. The real way to get into the secret passage is pulling the rag from the bucket, rattling the pipe ’till you hear the prerecorded shouting, palming the shelf four times in succession, and shouting “thank god for rednecks” then throwing a bottle of bud lite into the orange bucket. Then the passage will open, leading you to the perfect zombie apocalypse safe-house, complete with enough guns ‘n ammo to start world war three, and food to last you and a large colony for the next one hundred years.

  32. get a bigger hammer says:

    Ohdeargawdinheaven. Which one do you turn to not the building into orbit. This guy must never be allowed near powered tools or explosives.

  33. Craminate says:

    It’s the little white button on the floor. You have to tap the drumbeat from “Begin the Beguine” on it with your foot.

    • jebanu1 says:

      I agree with the little white bottle cap on the floor. as to how it works, i haven’t figured it out yet.

  34. ethd says:

    Actually, the knobs are only a part of the story. First, you must turn the bottom knob three-quarters of a turn to the left, then a full turn right, then you must remove the knob itself. Then, you must obtain a first-edition copy of an ancient book from the year 1292 known as the Tome of Extreme Awesomeness. You must use the knob to open this book. You open the book using said knob by asersaearsebNO CARRIER Bbaserasdraser and then all you need to do once you open the book is hit the pipe itself with the book. But you’re not done yet. You must then throw the book and the knob in the garbage and wait sixteen years. Then, you must obtain another copy of the book. It must meet the same conditions – it has to be from the year 1292, and you must open it with the knob that you threw away sixteen years ago. Once you get that book open, burn it in a fire and turn the second knob all the way out and remove it as well. Die. Your firstborn son must finish this task. He must wait until he is on the verge of death and turn the third knob a quarter turn just seconds before he expires. His third-born daughter must simply press on the final knob when she is the age of fourteen and the secret passage will open to the bathroom down the hall.

  35. Jijaba says:

    You gotta turn the top one half-way,push the bottom one in,Hug the 2nd one and do nothing to the 3rd one.In that order,too.Or it wouldn`t work.You gotta use `em all.
    Then the bucket will disapear for a secret hole!:D

  36. sonic says:

    turn off all the knobs to create pressure in pipe. stand back. pipe goes boom and blows out back wall.

  37. T.D. says:

    First, you have to pull the second from the bottom, then the first from above, then tha last one, then the first one again ect…etc… :)

  38. Rock says:

    They all open a separate portal in time/space=contineum+ludricrous speed

  39. ArmadilloJr says:

    The knob for opening is that red flower thing in the top left-hand corner. Turn it to the right. This will bring up a screen from the bucket asking ‘Who is the President of Japan: The Japanese Leader or a Japanese Guy?’ Answer with ‘a Japanese Guy’ This will unscrew all the knobs and full the whole pipe & wall to the side. There will be a Door with a 7 number code. the code is 8008135. Then a Bear will appear, so use the white cap on the floor to cause him to collapse. The gap will be free for you to walk through and you will emerge in a hall of 5 tunnels. Go through the tunnel marked ‘Paul O’Grady’ You will emerge in Mr. T’s Toilet. Pull the Loo brush towards you and the toilet will rise up, leaving a helipad on the floor. Tap the tune to ‘Hickory Dickory Dock’ on it and a bike will appear. Ride on it and you will fall into Willy Wonka’s rubbish chute. Eat the rotten pizza (which actually hides a superpower-creating gum). You will get the power to fly, so fly up into the Nut Sorting Chute. There will be 40 squirrels. Take Squirrel 23 and twist his tail anti-clockwise, opening a hatch in the door. You will fall down and land next to the prize: A million golden magnums. Enjoy!

  40. Anne says:

    there is a hidden knob on the horizontal section. That is th secret passage

  41. Aurora says:

    It’s obvious that you have to push a brick in on the wall which reveals another knob in the empty space which activates the top knob. You then have to turn the top knob in precisely 30 seconds to reveal a secret passage to Narnia.

  42. Colleen says:

    I was going to say the bucket, but someone beat me to It.

  43. Wyldfyre says:

    none, you have to turn the bucket over and play it like a drum, but you have to play the beat of Santa Fe from RENT

  44. TheGuyWHoFiguredItOut says:

    Turn Nob 1 (The top) 90 degrees clockwise from its original starting position, then Nob 2 (The Middle) 36 degrees counter-clockwise from the inverse of its original starting position. Finally, you turn Nob 3 one degree clockwise and then one degree counter clockwise form its original starting position. Failure to do this exactly will result in the spraying of hot steam directly in your face. Good luck.

  45. catsofa says:

    Gah! Can’t you people identify a combination lock when you see it? It’s quarter turn, half turn, quarter turn, full open, top to bottom, to open the secret passage way! You’re welcome to the Dr. Peppers, but the Jolts and Twinkies are mine!

  46. mcfart says:

    No the secret passage is under the wire shelves. To get it open you have to open the bottom valve, relocate the bucket under the white pipe, then turn the second. This will cause the white pipe to spew water, slowly filling the bucket up; This makes the floor under the wire rack to go down. After it is complete shut off the bottom valve, turn the top valve, take off some yellow foam and blow it down the white pipe. The wire rack will now transform into a slope: Which will take you down into a sub basement. In there you will see the man from the beginning of half life (valve man), turn this valve and a door will open in the wall. Congratulations……you are now in the cleaners closet at Disney land Florida. :D

  47. noobs says:

    No you have to turntem in secuense and the right amount, silly!

  48. Sarcastic Moron says:

    Oh please. It’s clearly a ninja knob that opens the secret passageway. :D

  49. Freedomforce29 says:

    Wrong. A ninja stole the knob after reading about people stealing fails. He is desperate for attention, as are all ninjas. Too bad we can’t see them :/

  50. march317 says:

    you must lift the bucket and pull the string you will then get a note that has an adress on it. Go there but not in the front door that will get you killed insted go to the back door. You will find a shovel, take it and knock out the man at the front door. Then go up stairs and play the pinball game on the computer if you get the high score it will give you a code.
    enter the code on the toster and the wall behind you will open. enter and go down the stairs to the 2 doors open the one on the left. There will be a radio tune it to 100.5mhz FM.
    now go to the other door open it and untie the person inside. They will give you a piece of paper dont read it. Go back to the house you started in and put the paper under the bucket the secret room will now open.

  51. shoop da woop says:

    no one ever found out what the top secret code was! you have to turn the PIPE itself! then you turn all 6 knobs in order. (the sixth knop is behind the bucket) if you do that in order, a small opening in the wall opens up. inside theres a tazer. taze the metal shelf and the walls will open up. turn the knob (behind the bucket) to close the wall. soon you will see a hallway. but, wait… ITS A TRAP! the door at the end of the hallway closes. that means you did it wrong. if you did it right the door wont close and you will find yourself in a basement. excape it to find a room and a door. on the left wall you will see gold bars and on the other side you will see diamonds. BUT WAIT!!! you only have0:05:00 to excape! the kiy is under eather pile! hopefully you brought your shovel! bwahahaha! excape and you end up at your back yard.

  52. shoop da woop says:

    typo! kiy=key

  53. Jessi says:

    You have to open them in the right sequence followed by turning the whole pipe clockwise in order to open a door behind the shelves… obviously.

  54. Little Beast says:

    Is that the secret passage to Joe the plumber’s house ?

  55. Rai says:

    It’s clearly a combination lock.
    It goes 14233213122412312211234412.
    Have fun putting that in.

  56. a person says:

    ‘ha sa see eh.” “hasse seeth” Opens the passage.

  57. Willreaper says:

    Yes, one MIGHT open a secret passage, but the wrong one will automatically spay/neuter you, do you want to take that risk?

  58. m33pit says:

    all of them at once!

  59. Mil says:

    it’s a combo lock.

  60. Be-Chan says:

    There is really a hidden foot-switch on the floor opening the secret passage.

  61. CatOnFire says:

    First the top, then the third, then the bottom, then the second. If you get out of sequence the whole thing resets and you have to start over again.

  62. Meta says:

    This is obviously an early version of the combination lock, and when solved correctly, feeds starving R and D teams with new ideas!

  63. Pickl'd Pie says:

    Turn the top, then the bottom, then give it a kick, when you hear a klunk, turn the one bellow the second one thrice, the one above that twice, wait for a tick, then turn the knobs (in descending order), right, left, right, another right, then left. You’re now in the room where all the presidents(or their representatives) plan important political, social, internal, and international events, through high-stakes tic-tack-toe!

  64. Scoutman says:

    That there is located in Eagles Nest Shelter, Magness Adventure Camp, Peaceful Valley Scout Ranch, Elbert, CO. It’s in the crawlspace between the restrooms, and I built that pipe-snargle.. Not pretty, I know, but it works. Two of those knobs actually don’t serve a purpose unless you for some reason need to close off water to six inches of pipe that go nowhere. A pipe broke, and being without a welder or a nice tube of JB Weld, I had to kludge together any pipe handy in the barn so that the girl’s side could have their showers and toilets working again. There is NOTHING so fearsome as a pissed off scout mom.

    • Scoutman says:

      Oh, and the secret passage isn’t even in this crawlspace. It’s under the sink in the dining hall. It leads to the secret staff stash of chocolate milk.

  65. person says:

    the knob that opens up the real secret passage is hidded in the secret passage that the top knob opens. It’s a really secret passage.

  66. Yacob says:

    If you twist them just right, a secret door will open that will lead you out of donut plains 2 ghost house and into the secret level with yoshi.

  67. Qynoi says:

    Obviously none of these open a secret passage. I hovered my mouse over everything and it never changed. I then tried clicking every pixel hoping for a secret door. I think I forgot something on the first island. Oh crap! I have to start over!

  68. falowane6 says:

    open all of them.

  69. sfgfan10 says:

    It’s actually a secret combination of the three. It’s sorta like National Treasure for plumbers in that sense.

  70. Sushi says:

    The little white thing on the floor, damnit!

  71. ngrjb says:

    its obviously the one thats emty on the very top. you need to buy a knob for that one.

  72. Kimie says:

    contrarywise.
    its obviously the FOURTH nob, at the top left.
    I will see you all later, at the end off the passage.
    good day.

  73. rodney says:

    turn the knobs in this sequence: bottom, top, top, bottom, middle, bottom, middle, middle, top, top, top, middle, bottom, middle, top.

  74. lurkitty says:

    There’s a sequence to it. Quarter-turns, half-turns, clockwise, counter-clockwise….

  75. Anna says:

    No, no, no! The knobs are a diversion! You turn the white knob on the floor 7 times, then push it down, THEN you turn the top knob, filling the orange bucket, then it sinks down, and a door slides open!

  76. schwammkopf says:

    No, no, no. You’ve got it all wrong. That’s my time machine. You can try it, but hold on, I forgot to put in the crystals…

  77. John-Michael says:

    All of them; it’s a combination lock, but not quarter turns and half turns. That doesn’t make any logical sense. Some of the valves are standard water valves; some of them are gas valves which turn the other direction to open. If you get them all turned in the correct direction then the water runs through to work the hydraulics and open the door. Have any one of them turned the wrong way and nothing happens. With five valves (there is one on the other side of the short horizontal section) there are… 720 possible combinations.

  78. PowerDag says:

    Everyone’s got it wrong. You have to pull that white cap on the floor, which is connected to a string from a hole. Then turn the top tap to get some water in the bucket. Lastly, you have to go down the not-secret passage under the shelves there, where the cap is. The secret passage should be to the far-right.

  79. timmy romero says:

    None of the knobs do anything. You must be able to speak in Possel-Tongue. If you can do this continue; there is a chant that once you reach the gateway, you will say whether you want to open the chamber or not. once you are in the secret passage to the Chamber of Secrets, beware of the Basilisk, for if you look directly into it’s eyes, it means instant death, and if you look indirectly into it’s eyes (through a reflection of some sort) you will
    be instantly paralyzed.

  80. RJ says:

    It is a combination mechanism, one must find the right number of turns for each valve to create the proper pressure to open the secret hatch. Somebody Call Mike!!!

  81. Daro says:

    You’re all wrong. You turn the entire thing counter-clockwise three times, jump up and down for seven seconds, and say the magic word. Then a mystical genie will appear and tell you a rivetting story about ham, to which you must respond as follows: I love ham, now open the frikkin passage you lamp-lovin’ freak. The secret passage will then open for you.

  82. serenek says:

    to open the secret passage you must put your head in the microwave until you have a tan and then you must spit into your hand and say the magic words: “baby needeth a new pair of shoes” and then slap your hand and from there you must turn the bottom nob to the beat of poker face by lady gaga and then tell justin bieber that he sucks and then dumbledore
    will come out and you say “avada kedavra” and he will die and the passage will open.

  83. The Bee says:

    You need to turn each knob simultaneously to recreate the first few bars from the chorus of Rick Astley’s hit, “Never Gonna Give You Up”.

  84. Ancalagon says:

    Each one opens a different door with a separate puzzle in it, Each puzzle will give you a different key when you have all the keys you turn the bucket 1/2 turn and press the white thing, the door appears and you use the keys in the right order. Its a back door into my lair

  85. flakenselvania says:

    nawww you just have to jump through the bucket, and you’ll end up in a secret room, mario-style

  86. Bookwyrmnick says:

    None of the knobs open a secret passage. You remove one of the shelves, use the duct tape hidden in the orange bucket to adhere it to the pipe, then use it as a xylophone to play Beethoven’s fifth, which will open the passage to the next dungeon.

  87. loract says:

    in order to open the secert passage way you need to turn the top and bottom and a sacirfice

  88. Nova says:

    All knobs are red herrings. The secret passage is just after you round the corner.
