A hidden room or secret passageway isn't any fun if it's not hidden well. We've gathered images of entryways hidden in all sorts of homes. Take a look at these pictures and see whether you'd know there was more than meets the eye.
If you're stumped, click through to the next image to see what it looks like when the room or passageway is open.
This wall of bookcases in Arizona sure looks fancy. If you weren't reading about secret rooms, would you suspect that one could be concealed here?
It's just a wall, right? There's no way this wall and the nearby grand piano could somehow work together to do something magical.
These built-in bookcases are in the basement of a home in Montana. Architect Andrew Porth designed the house as a second home for the Gorum family from Georgia. The family's children, ages 20 and 17, had one request: a hidden room.
This dresser, in a home in South Dakota, was part of a home makeover for "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition," on ABC. Yes, those are real, working drawers.
This fireplace was part of Creative Home Engineering's display at the International Builders Show one year, but what's so special about it?
The fireplace slides over, revealing a secret room. It's activated by what appears to be an ordinary chess set nearby.
"You could play a round of chess and never know it was a key," Humble says. It's wireless; so as long as it's within 100 feet, it can open the door.
There's another way to open the fireplace door, and this one is really something taken right out of a TV show — the old "Batman" series, to be specific. Remember the Shakespeare bust that had a secret button to open a passageway? Well, if you tilt back the head on this bust, you find a fingerprint scanner that triggers the fireplace.
