I need this for a book I’m writing. A lot of people know about the existence of the room I’m talking about, but almost nobody has access to it.
Have you thought of a… lock?
It would have to be well hidden or well guarded. Indiana Jones and Tomb Raider come to mind as well.
As many potential rooms as possible in as many locations as possible, and no way to distinguish the right one. Of course, rotate it regularly.
What does the room contain? If it’s a valuable artifact, surround the room with rooms with mundane objects, and build the room around the valuable artifact without any doors or windows.
If the room contains some kind of social circle or government function (think the 5 elder stars in One Piece), I think you’d again try to make the room seem unremarkable, but this time post a guard INSIDE the door. Possibly with an antechamber between the actual room and the hallway so that it seems like there’s just a guard in an empty room. Maybe you post many guards there and make it look like its their off duty room where they just hang out
- Strong locks on doors and windows.

- Use guard dogs to deter intruders.
- Keep heavy furniture near entrances as barricades.
- Set up alarms or noise-making devices.
- Assign a guard or sentry to watch over the room.
- Use traps like tripwires or pitfalls.
- Conceal valuable items or use secret compartments.
- Explore spells or enchantments for added security.
