So this is an actual secret room.
And today, I'll be building one for my family
to hide from our friend, Rebecca Zamol.
But the problem is, my husband thinks
that secret rooms don't actually work in real life.
Honey, there's no way these secret rooms actually work.
We'd be found instantly.
So to settle this, I'm getting a team of professionals
to help build the world's most hidden secret room.
And at the end of the day,
we'll see if Rebecca is able to find them.
Mila!
Hi, Mimi!
Hi, Daddy!
Are you ready?
Yeah, let's get this.
I like it.
What?
Okay, so here is the plan.
Operation Harry Potter.
Oh, wait, let me make this.
It's not funny.
The goal is to protect the family.
So I sketched out the secret room,
and it'll be right here,
all throughout this outer lining, right here.
There's gonna be a wall.
It's gonna be soundproof, bulletproof, everything proof.
It's insane.
But, but, if you put a door, they're gonna know,
because there's not gonna be a door.
You know why?
Because I got a decoy painting
that's actually gonna let us in to the secret room.
So it's gonna look perfect.
Nobody's gonna suspect.
So we don't need a door to like, open the door?
No.
Welcome in, guys!
This is exciting.
Hey, team, let's put everything in the living room area.
Hello.
Honey, do you understand how many things can go wrong?
Yeah, look, the color of the paint's gonna be different.
Oh, see, look at that.
It's the same color as the wall.
Is it actually the same color as the wall?
We matched the paint.
See?
Professionals.
Does it even fit?
Ew!
Okay, it fits.
Okay, guys, I'm about to call Rebecca and Matt
to see how long they need to get here
before they have to come and find us.
Hi!
Hi, Rebecca!
Hey, Asala, what's up?
Yo, this room is gonna look sick.
I actually think you're not gonna be able to find us.
No way, I am definitely gonna be able to find you.
I've done secret rooms,
and I've never lost at hide and seek.
How long do you guys need?
8 p.m.
8 p.m.?
I'm gonna be there at 8 p.m., Asala.
I have like six hours.
Guys, we only have six hours!
I'll see you at 8 p.m.
No, I'll see you at 8 p.m.
Okay, bye!
And as the construction team continued to build the room,
I wanted to take inspiration from an existing secret room.
So now we're here at this weird house
with three insanely hidden rooms.
So I'm gonna take notes
while Mila and my husband try to find them all.
You guys have five minutes!
There's actually a secret door in here.
I'm not kidding, you actually have to find it.
Oh, the only door that...
That door, maybe.
Yeah, I think it's here, but...
Is it there?
Oh no, it's not there.
Baby, maybe it's behind.
Yeah, that was a good idea.
I was thinking about that, too.
Okay, wait, wait, I have an idea.
Ow, that's the only door I saw.
Dad!
Hurry up, time is ticking!
Okay, there's no door here.
Ah, ha, ha, ha, ha!
Look, maybe it's here!
Ha, ha, ha, you saw that?
The rails in this wall gave it away,
so definitely a tip not to do that.
Now, room number two!
We don't have a lot of time.
Find the hidden room!
Check, check, check, under, it could be under.
Oh, could there be stairs in the ceiling?
Okay, yeah.
That's what they do.
Honey, you're gonna break this house.
That's how...
Oh, there's a window.
It's a window.
Time is ticking!
Oh, wait, wait, is it moving?
Oh, no.
Hey, check, check, the other one, check the other one!
Is it there?
Oh my God, we found it!
Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!
Easy peasy.
You're not gonna find the last one.
No, you literally have two minutes.
Oh my God, okay, Mimi.
Maybe this one.
Check this one, this one.
Okay, no, no, no.
No, there's nothing.
How much time do we have?
Hurry up, you got a minute!
No way!
Mila, Mila, it's probably behind here.
Mimi, Mimi, Mimi.
I think it's actually behind here.
I think it's behind, how do you push it?
It doesn't push.
No, I see something in there.
Yeah, but how do you open it?
Mila, in movies, usually, how do bookshelves open?
Maybe you clap.
Okay, clap.
Oh, yeah, no.
Wait, wait, there's probably a button here.
Here, Mila.
Honey, you literally have like 25 seconds.
Mila, quick, look!
I know, but it's not opening!
Usually, there's like a handle
or something that you pull out.
I think it's this.
You literally have 10 seconds.
Whoa!
This is crazy!
Although I lost, I took a lot of notes,
so I'm gonna make the best secret room ever.
So I ordered some of the most expensive spy gear
on the internet to help us build the secret room.
This is the most expensive box,
so we're gonna open this at the very end.
Okay, so we'll put it outside.
Okay, so should we open?
Let's open this first.
Okay, I have scissors, right?
Oh, sorry.
Okay, so guys, I'm gonna open this.
Are you ready?
Yeah!
All right.
It's open.
What the?
A teddy bear?
Wait!
What?
This isn't just any teddy bear.
Do you see what I see?
What do you notice?
There's a camera!
There's a camera in the eye!
I used to see this in movies, like Toy Story.
I saw that before!
This is cool.
They'll think it's Noah's.
Maybe we put this on the couch
and it'll watch Rebecca's every move.
Okay, go hide it, go hide it.
Goodbye, Mr. Teddy Bear.
You stay here with the plants.
Let's rate this one to 10.
What do you think?
It's a good one?
I'm gonna rate it an eight out of 10.
I agree.
I say eight out of 10, too.
But I can't wait for the most expensive box.
This one.
This one, okay.
Are you guys ready?
Wait, wait.
Top.
Oh, that means we should open it from the top?
Oh, this looks dangerous.
I'm scared.
It has red, so I think it's gonna be pretty good
to spy on them.
Wait, let me try to shake it.
Wait, no, don't shake it.
What is it?
Hold on.
Oh, that scared me.
What?
Oh my God, oh my God, hold on.
Ta-da!
This is, um.
Wait, there's a key under here.
Wait, wait, wait, what is this?
There's like something in there.
It has like a key.
Oh, I see what this is.
What?
You can literally hide so many things in here,
like money, comfort food.
Candy!
You can even put like spare car keys,
and it comes with a lock.
You put the plant back,
and nobody will ever know.
Okay, what would you rate that one?
Oh, rated like an eight out of 10 again.
I think so, that's pretty cool.
What I'm most excited about is this last box.
Yeah.
What do you think is in it?
I don't know.
Well, that's the most expensive one,
so it must be really good.
They can't let us down this time.
Box number three, which one should we open?
This one.
All right, just patience here.
Oh, yes.
Let's see what is in it.
Oh!
What?
Ta-da-dum, ta-da-dum, ta-da-da-dum.
Mila.
What?
I think I know what this is.
What?
This is an invisibility shield!
I can't even see you.
Now you see me.
Yes.
Now you don't.
Isn't that cool?
Oh, I can see you a little bit.
Do you think it'll work to have us hide from Rebecca?
No, because if you're wearing this,
I can see a little bit of the pink.
I'll give this a seven out of 10.
To be honest, I don't know if this is gonna help us
in the secret room because I'm already in a room.
I'm gonna give this a five out of 10.
I just wanna know what's in that expensive box.
I think it's gonna be $10,000.
Okay, it's packaged.
Let's see what it is.
Oh, what is that?
X-ray vision.
Wait, wait, wait, wait.
We gotta take a look at this.
How is this gonna help us?
Wait, let's open it actually.
Put these X-ray vision goggles on to see through walls.
Oh!
Wait, I wanna see.
Is it real?
No, it's just red.
It's fake?
It's just red.
No way.
Did we get ripped off?
Let me see.
Yo!
What?
You can't see nothing.
I want my money back.
That was like a negative 10 out of 10 rating.
I'll rate it like a three out of 10.
Because I wanna wait for the expensive one
and it's time for the expensive one.
Okay, now it's time.
Wait, wait, wait.
We're giving away a lot of cool stuff.
All you have to do is subscribe to the channel
and comment done,
and we will send you the gift
to wherever you are around the world.
Oh, this is kind of easy.
Wait, is it heavy?
Wait.
Be careful, it's just so expensive.
We don't wanna break whatever's in here.
Oh, what the?
Wait, wait a minute.
What is this?
Ugh!
Hold on, hold on, hold on.
Use some scissors.
Guys, if this is so expensive,
it better be really good.
Oh my God, these are like night vision goggles.
You can literally see everything in the dark.
Okay, wait, we wanna test this in the dark.
So Mila, turn off the lights.
It's okay.
Mommy, can you see me?
Yeah, this is so cool.
Hi!
Do this.
Do peace sign.
Yo, this is sick.
And after choosing what spy gear to use.
Mila, let's go check the progress on the room.
Sick.
Oh my God.
Look at that!
Oh my God!
You can never tell.
This is actually so spacious too.
Dude, this is crazy.
Look, it goes all the way in.
So are you guys gonna close this whole area, right?
Oh yeah, we got one more wall to go right here.
Oh my God.
And this right here is the hole
where the painting's gonna go.
Let me show you.
Wait, let me show you guys the painting.
Let me.
Oh, look at that.
It's gonna go right here like this.
They even drilled in.
Look, look, look, come see.
They drilled this in so that it opens.
Guys, this is coming along really well.
Look at this, you can't even tell.
It's the same exact shade
as the rest of the walls in this house.
It's even the same texture as the house.
Look at that.
I'm gonna make sure nobody's gonna be able
to find this in this room.
So now we're here at Target to deck out the secret room
and we're gonna buy everything
on this hideout essentials list that I found online.
Okay, hold on.
First set of things we need to get are snacks.
So we need this, this.
Okay, peanut butter.
All these I like.
There's no bathroom in the room.
I'll get a port-a-potty.
This is chocolate rice cake.
You're boring.
Okay, come on, come on.
Get us some candy inside there.
Okay, now let's get electronics.
Okay, honey, do you need strip lights?
Yeah.
Oh, good idea.
Yeah, this is, I know how to do these things.
But it can't be like too bright
so like it doesn't seep through the wall or something.
Oh, you're thinking everything through, I see.
Yeah.
Okay, we just need a TV now.
TV?
It's gonna be used for the security cameras.
We're gonna see all the surveillance throughout the house
to track Rebecca's every move when she's looking for us.
We're here at the furniture place.
We need like it also to look nice aesthetically.
Maybe this pillow actually,
like in case no one falls asleep.
Honey, you're making a secret room to hide,
not a new house.
Yeah, to hide,
but also you wanna be in a dark, creepy, scary room.
You want it to feel beautiful with lights and cozy.
Yeah.
And after completing the shopping list,
it was time to decorate the room.
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah.
Ta-da!
And the outside is completely done.
Here we got these cute pillows.
My favorite color.
Here you go, Carter.
Think fast.
Joel.
All right.
Of course, I didn't forget the snacks.
I know I want it to be a little healthy,
but I thought, you know,
sometimes when there's a thief in your house,
you might wanna just, you know,
munch to forget that.
Teamwork makes the dream work.
All right, pivot, pivot.
Oh.
Be careful, be careful.
Is this, is it gonna pivot right?
I don't know.
It might be a little too long.
Okay, just careful with the wall.
We don't wanna make it look like, you know, suspect.
We're hitting the wall back here.
No.
Yeah.
That's the real wall.
You better not.
Carter.
Yes!
Yay!
We got the security system TV.
We got a rug for aesthetics and coziness.
Okay, we got, of course, a lamp.
I couldn't forget it.
We got the hotline bling.
Oh, wow.
Okay, let me see how this is gonna work.
Ah, that's sick!
And we have all these soundproofing panels
to keep the noise in.
My team finishes up the room.
I had one last step in my plan.
One of the hardest parts
about hiding in a secret room with two kids
is having to keep them completely quiet.
And we wanna make sure the kids don't blow our cover
while hiding from Rebecca.
So we're gonna play the do not move challenge!
Yay!
Scream!
One thing in the secret room that you're gonna have
is a lot of candy.
So you guys can't move
for the next five minutes.
Save frozen.
Okay, who does that?
Okay, guys.
Don't fall for it.
Good job.
Move!
Freeze!
Noah, you can do it!
Don't lose, don't lose.
You're gonna win.
Good job, good job, good job.
Freeze.
Okay, move!
Daddy, I need to open this for me.
Ah, okay.
Freeze!
Guys, you're doing good.
Don't fall for the candy.
Don't move.
Freeze!
Wow.
Noah, he's trying to trick you!
He's trying to trick you.
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'll open it for you.
Dude, you're gonna be so fouled by Rebecca.
She's gonna find you in 10 minutes.
Oh, I lost!
No, I didn't lose.
I got the lady part.
Remember, if Mila doesn't win now,
you're getting a punishment.
Mila, just two minutes left,
I will give you all the candy in the world.
Okay.
You could have this right here.
Okay, move!
Freeze!
You can do it, Mila.
I believe in you.
Buddy, you lost.
No, I didn't lose.
Okay, Mimi.
This is an opened one.
Do you want it?
Mila, don't fall for it.
Literally 45 seconds left.
You can do it, I will give you more than that.
Ah!
You're so cute.
Okay.
Move!
Freeze!
20 seconds!
Mimi, you can do it!
Don't, don't, don't, Mila, you're frozen.
Just, just stay frozen.
Okay, okay.
Okay.
Move!
Freeze!
Mimi, don't move.
You can do it.
10, nine, eight, seven, six.
Okay, you can move, good job.
You can move.
Woo!
I'm so proud.
Wow.
You did it.
Okay, guys, so the room's all finished,
and Rebecca and Matt will be here in 15 minutes,
but first, I have Enes and Mila blindfolded,
and they're about to see the reveal of the room.
Are you ready?
You guys are gonna be shocked.
Okay, honey, I don't know where I'm walking right now.
Oh, okay, hold on, just follow my voice.
I'm scared.
Okay.
Dude, if I fall.
You won't fall.
Okay, guys, hold the rail.
What do you think is in there?
All right, you got it, Mila.
Here's one step, ready?
One.
Ah!
Okay.
Almost there.
Mommy.
Okay, are you guys ready?
This is gonna suck.
All right, in three, two, one.
Take off your blindfolds.
Oh my God, dude.
This is actually crazy.
Yo, doesn't it look real?
Wow.
You can't even tell that the wall is.
So is this here?
Mommy, this is not even a door.
This is just painted.
How is this a door?
How does it open?
Impressive, huh?
Okay, wait.
Don't break it.
How does it open?
Where do doors open?
Oh!
Oh, ta-da!
E-M-O-G!
Oh my God!
Into my secret room!
Oh my God!
Daddy, this is it!
So the minute you walk in,
you're gonna notice the beautiful,
pink, fluffy carpet.
Like I love it.
It's so cozy.
And then you have this,
look at the ceiling, look up.
Oh my God!
You have the beautiful, dreamy clouds
that light up in the dark.
We have custom flower wallpaper,
neon flower lights, and mirrors!
So you can look at yourself
and make sure you're not getting old,
you know, being stuck in here.
And here we have a full-on snack station
with everything you could possibly need
from candies, cookies, gummies,
and even dried mangoes.
M&Ms, Cheerios, Skittles, nuts,
and best of all, soundproof foam for the walls
so you can definitely not hear us in here.
I'm not gonna lie, it's actually crazy.
And this is so comfortable.
Yep, oh, and it's free.
And then drinks, of course,
because we're gonna get thirsty
from all that talking.
Oh my God, is there a fridge in here?
Yep, all the favorite drinks.
There's this phone that can call
any time for emergencies.
Dude, I actually can't believe
how big this actually is on the inside.
I was surprised all this fit.
It's so crazy!
Dude, look at the lights.
And best of all, look at this.
We got full-on security cameras set up
all over the house so we can monitor
any intruder that's to come.
I'm starting to maybe, maybe believe
that Rebecca won't find us today.
And I know they're literally three minutes away.
I love this place, I just wanna eat the candy.
Not gonna lie, this is very, very, very impressive.
And after building the room from scratch
and fully designing it myself,
it was time for the moment of truth.
Oh my God!
Hey!
How are you?
Okay, so, long story short,
I built a secret room and you guys
have 10 minutes to find us.
And if you find us, you get a mystery prize.
Let's go!
Okay, so, stay out here, count till 30,
and then come on in.
Okay.
Don't cheat.
Okay, okay.
One, two, three, four, five.
Oh, Noah, here, Noah, Noah, Noah, it's here!
11, 12, 13, 14, 15.
They're coming, they're coming, they're coming.
Oh my God.
Go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go.
Shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh.
27, 28, 29, 30.
Ready or not, here we come.
Okay.
Okay, I have a feeling the secret room is upstairs.
I say we check that first.
Okay.
Let's go.
Remember, 10 minutes.
Come on.
Mystery prize.
Hey, why are you walking?
To live in, up there, up there.
Look at this, all the cameras are here.
They literally bypassed this.
Nobody would think in their mind
that something would be under the stairs.
I promise you, they're not gonna find this
in the next 10 minutes.
Mom, I can open the door for you.
What do you want to help me?
I can open the door for Rebecca.
No, Noah, you can't open for Rebecca.
This is like a house tour, too, you guys.
I haven't gotten to see all the decor.
Look at that.
Okay, stay focused.
That piano is gorgeous, though.
Okay.
I thought I heard them.
I thought we were going this way.
I have a surprise for them behind that door.
Do not enter.
This is not a secret room.
Okay, look, there's a cord.
Tell me this wasn't a genius.
Dude, I can't believe that they're actually
but they're not finding us.
I am the hiding room.
If it is a secret room, it should have a sign like this.
This is definitely a secret, too.
Three, two, one.
Got you, got you.
Oh, no.
Oh, my God.
Ah.
Quick, quick.
Oh, wow.
Hey, hey, hey.
She fell, she fell.
Oh, my God, Rebecca.
Oh, my God.
Come on.
Are you kidding me?
Oh, my gosh.
We have to clear this whole place.
Okay.
Um.
Ow, Matt.
I caught you.
Yeah, but we didn't come to Rebecca.
No.
Be quiet, okay?
Shh.
Here.
This room, this room.
Okay.
This one?
Okay.
We really want that mystery prize.
Ooh, this room's pretty.
Secret room.
Oh, a door.
Cabinet.
That's a bathroom.
Ugh.
At least there's potpourri in there.
Closet.
I've seen people make secret rooms in cupboards.
Get back, back, back, back.
Matt, focus.
Working on my abs.
No, not right now.
Why is he working out his abs?
Like, you guys have eight minutes left.
I'm done.
What?
What is this thing?
Nine minutes?
That's, wait, whoa, whoa.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Three.
Can we take this with you?
Two, one.
Oh, good call.
Furnace.
It's not a secret room.
Okay.
Don't do that.
It's impossible.
Can I be quiet?
I'm sorry.
You're right.
There's three here.
They're in Mila's room.
Mila's room.
Okay.
If I were a kid, I wouldn't want a secret room.
Maybe it's in her closet.
Hey, guys.
Seven minutes left.
Seven?
How?
Come on, come on, come on.
They're going under to the bed.
Shh, shh, shh.
Go on.
Noah, Noah, Noah.
Shh.
You remember all that training we did earlier?
Yes.
I feel like Noah's gonna blow our cover.
Noah.
It's not here.
We gotta move faster.
Beck, Beck.
We have to move faster.
Okay.
That is terrifying.
Wait.
Behind you.
Oh, come on.
It's a Jordan pattern.
Oh, no, no, no.
Look, door.
Secret door.
You found it.
That's the decoy I need.
Watch out, watch out, watch out, watch out.
Give me some rope.
Oh.
Oh my God.
He kicked him with the pee.
He's going in Noah's room.
He's not in there.
This must be Noah's room.
Ball pit.
Oh my God.
We're running out of time.
Oh, he's getting potty trained.
Mila, do you think they're gonna find us?
Hurry.
Maybe check downstairs?
Do you see anything?
Did we miss something?
Okay.
Hold on.
Where would it be?
Oh, shh.
Yes, they're going down.
They're coming down.
Okay.
Sometimes paintings.
Wait, back, back.
No.
Secret room wouldn't be outside, right?
It would be inside.
Maybe the garage?
Wait, what if we offer Mila candy?
Mila.
Noah.
If you guys make a noise right now,
we need candy.
Oh my God.
He's like, I want to get candy.
I can't stop.
We have much better candy here.
They're taking forever.
We should just get some snacks.
Hold on.
I feel like we're getting closer.
Look it, they like hitting us somehow.
Matt, we're going to run out of time.
I'm going in the garage.
Oh.
I don't believe they're taking that much time.
You guys have five minutes.
Bec.
What?
Office?
Just a bunch of shoes.
What?
I heard somebody.
Okay, I've seen couches.
I've seen curtains.
They will win this mystery prize if they find us here.
I know they're going to find us.
I promise you they're going to find us.
I promise.
Okay, Matt.
Oh!
We were being nice.
That's it.
We're running out of time.
It smells like needles in here.
What are you doing?
I'm just checking the rug.
I don't know if it's a real rug.
They're destroying the house.
How rude of them.
What if it's like?
Oh my gosh.
It's like one of those things that's like
hidden under the stairs or something.
It has to be somewhere close.
Look, they're coming back to the living room.
What if it's-
It's in the stairs.
Oh, shh, shh, shh.
Look it, I've seen-
In the stairs.
It's in the stairs.
Look it, they like looked up the stairs.
Come on.
Do it.
Oh!
This feels-
Wait, it's kinda hollow right here.
Wait.
What is this room?
This feels hollow.
Something's here.
But how do we get in?
Do you think there's a way?
What if it's behind this painting?
Try it, try it.
Three, two, it doesn't move.
Does it move?
Yeah.
No, no way.
Oh no!
Oh!
Oh my God!
Oh!
Well, honey, you lost and they get their mystery prize.
See what it is!
Three, two, one, shoo!
This is for Zaydee.
Oh!
This is the first time I lose,
so I'll give this one to you.
Whatever.
