To master the grimly immersive world of Crime Scene Cleaner, a game where you step into the reluctant shoes of Kovalsky, a man cleaning mafia messes to fund his daughter’s medical care, you need more than just a mop and bucket. True completion requires uncovering every hidden secret and collectible across its atmospheric and often gruesome maps. This guide, updated for 2026, reveals the exact locations of all cash stashes in Normal Mode, the creepy music boxes in Nightmare Mode, and the CD collectibles introduced in Act 2. From the claustrophobic apartments of Bad Call to the sprawling factory in Call In Dead, we detail every step to ensure you leave no secret undiscovered in your pursuit of perfection.
Normal Mode Secret Locations in Act 1
In Normal Mode, each crime scene hides secret spots containing valuable cash hordes. Finding them all is key to maximizing your earnings for Kovalsky’s goal.
Bad Call Secret Locations
First Secret Location
Exit your car and enter the lit building. After ascending the second set of stairs, you will see a window with a ‘Secrets Nearby’ prompt. Step out onto the ledge, proceed left, and look for a box with a red flower-patterned cloth to find the cash.
Second Secret Location
Proceed to the top floor and face the door to Apartment 23. To your right, drop the box on the shelf to find a key. Enter the apartment, go to the right room, and break the window planks. Exit, cross to the elevator opposite, and take it down. Break the planks on the window at the lower floor and enter to claim the secret.
Third Secret Location
From Apartment 23’s right room, exit the window and lower the ladder ahead to create a shortcut. Descend, head towards the red flower-patterned tablecloth, then turn right to see a locked iron gate. Return to the front of the ladder, turn right, and find a key on a box between wired sections. Use it on the first gate. For the second gate, exit the building, climb the ladder, turn right, and descend the fire escape. Enter through the window to discover the Hidden Apartment. Inside, enter the door right of the statue, take the key beside the left statue, return to open the final iron gate for the secret.
Trial By Blood Secret Locations
First Secret Location
At the mission start, enter the Men’s Locker Room, then proceed to the Relaxation Zone pool area. In the pink neon-lit room with a tanning bed, take the W024 keycard from the table left of the lounge chair. Use it on locker 24 in the adjacent corridor to get the M034 keycard. Use M034 on locker 34 in the Men’s Locker Room to obtain a VIP card. Back in the Relaxation Zone, find a hidden compartment with a numpad to the right of the neon room’s entrance. Hack it, use the VIP card on the device inside, and a hidden compartment will open in the pool room, revealing the VIP zone secret.
Second Secret Location
After finding the VIP Zone, take the pink W018 keycard from the table inside. Go to the Women’s Restroom and use this keycard on cabinet number 18 to unlock the secret.
Short Circuit Secret Locations
First Secret Location
At the start, go upstairs and turn left. Interact with the lamp hanging on the wall at the corridor’s end to open a hidden compartment on the opposite side.
Second Secret Location
Go upstairs, turn left down the corridor, and enter the door straight ahead. Take the key from the round wooden table. Return downstairs, open the double white doors to the Living Room, turn right into the kitchen, and open the white door left of the refrigerator. Crouch to enter and find the secret.
Italian Job Secret Locations
First Secret Location
Enter the pizzeria and go through the wooden door on the left. Move the boxes in front of the dartboard to reveal a trapdoor. Enter the double doors across the corridor, go to the kitchen on the right, and take the key from the right drawer of the computer desk. Use it on the trapdoor to unlock the pizzeria’s hidden gambling room.
Second Secret Location
From the pizzeria’s left room, exit to the back alley. Turn left, pick up the chair, and use it to climb over the wall ahead using the objects as steps, discovering a hidden concert area.
Third Secret Location
From the back alley, turn right and enter the door with the yellow warning sign. Break the planks inside and approach the generator to reveal the secret.
Act 2 Secret Rooms and CD Locations
The Act 2 update, released in March 2026, introduced four new maps filled with both secret rooms and collectible CD DVDs, expanding the scavenger hunt for dedicated cleaners.
Amber Alert Secrets and CDs
Take the barrel labeled Elder Gnome Stout from the kitchen door to the left of the bucket point. Press the button to descend into the cellar. Place the barrels on the pipes in the correct order to open a hatch: Elder Gnome Stout, Monastern Trappist, Iced Dwarf Pale Ale, Iced Dwarf Pilsner. Open the hatch to find the first CD. Next, in the bar back room, score exactly 301 on the dartboard to unlock a secret room containing a turtle bucket skin and valuables. The second CD is on a bench in the winner’s changing room. The third CD is found by exiting the Lounges through the door with the snake skeleton; at the top of the stairs, pass through the painting projection on the left to find a cat room with the CD on a table. As you descend those stairs, find a stone head behind the staircase. Take it to the room with the balloon arch near the winner’s changing room, place it on the empty plinth to the left to open a door, and retrieve the final CD and a diamond.
Circle Of Friends Secrets and CDs
The first secret room is in the cellar; clear bullets from the left wall and press the loose brick at the bottom right to open a door behind you. The first CD is in Holden’s Mansion upstairs. In a room with three paintings, change the images to: Guy with glasses, Summer scene with spear, and Gold cup with skull against a red background to open a hatch containing the CD. The second CD is outside on the Golden Terrace table by the greenhouse. The third CD is in Holden’s Son’s room, accessed by destroying five black ducks to open the chained coffin. The fourth CD is in a backroom in the garage. For the final secret room, find a key by climbing out the window upstairs from the garage, heading left, and jumping to a space left of a balcony with a dead body. Use this key on the locked red door on the first floor.
Nightmare Mode Music Disk Locations
Nightmare Mode, unlocked after completing the regular game, replaces cash stashes with eerie music boxes containing collectible disks.
Bad Call Music Disk
Find the Polaroid camera in the attic. Take photographs at the four locations shown on the wall: the attic back room (behind overgrowth), the rooftop (accessed via the stairwell window ledge), the yard near your truck, and the hidden apartment upstairs (behind wooden slats). Return to the attic with all four photos to unlock the darkroom and retrieve the disk.
Trial By Blood Music Disk
The disk is in women’s locker W018. Its key is in men’s locker M034. The key to M034 is found dangling from a lamp behind a plant to the right of the steam room.

The music box will appear.
Modern Art Music Disk
In the Cloud Level, go through the red door to the Ducks Exhibition. Go upstairs, through another red door on the right, and down the corridor. Find a hidden door in the left wall at the corridor’s end. Inside the tiled area, go straight, left past the giant rubber duck, then right up some stairs to find the disk.
Call In Dead Music Disk
While on the conveyor belt approaching Hall Six, look to your right for accessible vents and pipes. Follow this path to a vent, kick it open, and retrieve the final music disk from inside.
