Amanda the Adventurer 3 takes the mystery to its deepest level yet, challenging players to dig through memories, coded puzzles, and eerie VHS archives to piece together what really happened inside Hameln’s facility. The secret tapes serve as the game’s backbone — each one revealing fragments of the truth behind Rebecca Colton’s disappearance and Sam Colton’s fate.
There are four secret tapes hidden throughout the game, and while the main story hints at their existence, none are marked directly. Below is a complete breakdown of all Amanda the Adventurer 3 secret tapes and their locations, including the puzzles you’ll need to solve to access them.
1. First Secret Tape – Sam Colton’s Final Moments
Location: Near the television in the facility entrance
The first secret tape is tied to Sam Colton’s infiltration of Hameln and his last encounter with his daughter. After Riley enters the facility, head toward the television area beside the main pod room — this is where the unnamed protagonist once placed a folder box during the prologue.
To access it:
- Restore Rebecca’s amusement park memory to unlock the code 75820.
- Enter the code into Blabbo Bot to receive a voice log from employee Cara.
- Cara’s log provides the folder code 4307 — use it to open the box and retrieve the first tape.
Watching it reveals Sam Colton sneaking into his daughter’s room inside Hameln, shedding light on the early stages of the “Colton anomaly” incident.
2. Second Secret Tape – The Show’s Cancellation
Location: Inside the Pod Room
The second tape involves one of the most detailed puzzles in the game — matching the favorite foods of each pod subject. Use the Workstation Memo pinned on the corkboard outside Colton’s room for clues. Then, assign the correct food from the fridge to each pod based on the final two digits on their labels:
| Food Item | Pod Label | Symbol |
|---|---|---|
| Chocolate Cake | 01 | Error Pod |
| Ham & Cheese Sandwich | 02 | Power Line |
| Sashimi | 03 | Sun/Circle |
| Hamburger | 04 | House |
| Mint Choc Chip Ice Cream | 05 | Flower |
| Milk | 06 | Cloud |
| Pizza | 07 | Tree |
| Salad | 08 | Bin |
After placing everything correctly, return to the fridge to claim the tape. It plays a news broadcast covering Amanda the Adventurer’s cancellation by Hameln, connecting directly to the earlier Hamlin Entertainment recall tapes.
3. Third Secret Tape – Marcus Moolman’s Transformation
Location: The Chapel
Once you reach the Chapel area, look for Marcus Mootman’s Access Card on the bench near Blabbo Bot. This card is crucial — input his ID 61318 into Blabbo to unlock a clue.
Blabbo’s voice will emphasize “baaaad,” hinting that Marcus is the man behind Wooly. To trigger the tape:
- Insert the “When I’m Grown Up” tape into the TV.
- When Amanda asks, “What do you want to be if you grow up?”, answer MARCUS.
- The third secret tape will spawn on the bench.
This tape confirms the tragic truth about Wooly’s origin — that Marcus Mootman was transformed through Hameln’s psychological conditioning program.
4. Fourth Secret Tape – The Hameln Press Conference
Location: Inside the Chapel (Final Puzzle)
The last secret tape is locked behind the Chapel’s ritual puzzle. You’ll need to find and place four candles on podiums surrounding the TV and monitors.
Steps to unlock it:
- Complete the When I’m Grown Up tape correctly by clicking on mirrors in the hallway that show the real reflection of Maggie.
- If done right, the mirrors shatter and reveal code 4739.
- Enter this code to open the Chapel.
- Place all four candles on the correct podiums.
The final secret tape will appear — a Hameln representative’s press conference, where the company denies wrongdoing and urges parents to surrender any remaining Amanda the Adventurer tapes for destruction. It’s a chilling conclusion to the trilogy’s hidden lore, showing Hameln’s attempts to erase evidence of its experiments.
Bonus: Lore Connection to the “Colton Anomaly”
Beyond gameplay, the secret tapes connect directly to the NT Sector Security Breach (April 8th, 2003). These recovered records describe the disappearance of Sam Colton (SC96) during the containment of an energy surge that overloaded the “Colton assets neurosychic system.” Locations such as NT Area A, Pediatric Lab 5, and Chamber NT A3 RA002 are referenced in the found footage, suggesting the secret tapes may be recovered fragments of that same event.
