A secret room is a room in the Club Penguin Island, which goes by a specific criteria. The criteria for defining whether a room is secret or not has changed through the years.
Definition history
Originally, the term commonly referred to rooms which have no nearby rooms (and therefore cannot be visited by going from one room to a nearby room). The rooms which fulfilled this criteria were the Dojo, the Mine Shack and the Iceberg, which could all only be visited using the map or via the Spy Phone. These rooms also did not have an obvious image on the map, and could only be entered if a player had known their location, or found by mistake, when hovering over their location in the map, which changed the mouse to a pointer.
When Dig Out the Dojo began in November 2008, the map was updated, and all room icons were given a white border, which distinguished them from their surrounding, and therefore made all mapped rooms easy to locate, except for the Iceberg, which only received a new map icon in June 2011.
Currently, the definition may refer to rooms which can only be accessed once performing a certain action (e.g. obtaining a given item). This definition is still applied on members- having a membership doesn't necessarily guarantee the access to these rooms.

Former rooms
An old map of Club Penguin with the secret rooms circled. Now the Dojo and Mine Shack are not secret while the Iceberg remained a secret room.
- Mine Shack and Dojo- were hidden in the map until 2008.
- HQ- the headquarters of the PSA. Could only be accessed from the Sport Shop or from the Spy Phone.
- Command Room- the original headquarters of the EPF. Could be accessed from the closet on the right at the PSA HQ. Could only be accessed after using the code included in Club Penguin: Elite Penguin Force or the one in Herbert's Revenge.
- Fire Dojo and Water Dojo- required being a ninja and buying the Amulet. Became accessible to everyone in 2013.
- Ninja Hideout- could only be accessed by defeating Sensei in Card-Jitsu and becoming a ninja.
- Box Dimension- could originally only be accessible through igloos at which the Portal Box was placed. Was later also placed in the Lodge Attic, making it no longer secret.
- For a week after the Forest opened on May 18, 2007, the room was secret. You could access it by clicking the blue pamphlet on the Tour Booth (which was located at The Plaza at the time). The path to the Forest was added in the Plaza on May 25, 2007, making it no longer secret.
Hidden party rooms
Some party rooms have also fulfilled the criteria for becoming secret rooms, such as the following:
- EPF Rooftop- EPF Agents could enter it in order to fight the Hydra Bot.
- Classified Area and Herbert's Hoard Lair- could be accessed by EPF agents by completing various tasks during some of the EPF operations.
- "Secret Room!!!"- a hidden party room, accessible by drilling a hole in one of the Cave Maze's rooms.
