Each level in Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3+4 features a hidden Secret Tape within the skate park, but locating them isn’t always straightforward, and some require expert moves. Secret Tapes are integral to the main Career Mode objectives for both THPS 3 and 4 maps. Fans of the series or the earlier remake, THPS 1+2, will recognize the concept as it carries over into these games.
Secret Tapes and collectibles are a key element of the classic THPS 3+4 gameplay. Most parks include these in their goals, although Competition Parks do not feature Secret Tapes at all. If you’re on a mission to find all the Secret Tapes and need some guidance, I’ve included screenshots and tips to help you snag them with ease. Once you collect a Secret Tape, it will be marked off your goals for that park, taking you one step closer to finishing your tour.

All Secret Tapes in Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3
In Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3, there are a total of six Secret Tapes to find. The parks are similarly divided, much like the parks in Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1+2. Players will encounter many familiar locations from the original THPS 3 and 4 while also exploring some brand-new areas.
You’ll catch a quick preview of their locations in the goals section at the start of your run, though these hints can be a bit vague. Plus, the overview will not show you how to reach these Secret Tape spots, so you’ll need to sharpen your skills if you’re not well-acquainted with the controls.

|---|---|---|---|
| Foundry | In the rafters on a center beam in the middle. | Grind up the catwalk and use the ramp in the glass area to hit the beam. | |
| Canada | Off a metal rail next to a large log flume pipe. | Grind the rail by hitting the green button, then ascend the log flume. |  |
| Suburbia | Directly behind starting location at an American flag pole. | Grind the long telephone wire to the top of a haunted house. |  |
| Airport | On the top rail of the roundabout section. | Perform a boneless move to access the rail and grind around it. |  |
| Los Angeles | Very top of the tall purple structure. | Cause an earthquake, ollie over the highway, then traverse rooftops. |  |
| Cruise Ship | Across the high wires on the ship’s funnel. | Grind the high wires straight ahead and use the ramp to grab the tape. |  |
All Secret Tapes in Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 4
In Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 4, you’ll also find six Secret Tapes scattered throughout the non-competition parks, similar to those in THPS 3. Some of these can be quite tricky to obtain, especially in locations like Alcatraz and the Shipyard.
- For the College Secret Tape, you have two approaches. Grind along the wire with banners from the rooftop or enter through the door behind the clock tower for a smoother route.
| Map | Location | How to Get | Image |
|---|---|---|---|
| College | On a wire leading to the clock tower. | Grind from the roof or go in through the back door. |  |
| San Francisco | At the Boardwalk hotel. | Get to the upper level, grind the hotel sign, and navigate to the tape. |  |
| Alcatraz | Near the water tower. | After opening the jail doors, use the rail from the top floor. |  |
| Waterpark | At the top of the Dual Boomerang Slide. | Use the entrance to reach the tape and unlock the Arcade first. |  |
| Shipyard | Between two Dumpster Burger buildings. | Use the warehouse door to reach the rooftops and drop down for the tape. |  |
| London | On top of a building behind the Canadian Embassy. | Jump on ramps at the embassy to access the rooftops. |  |
Completing all the Secret Tape challenges in Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3+4 is essential to achieve the main objectives of the game. You must unlock all Secret Tapes, including the one in London, before the final map, Pinball, becomes accessible. Once you’ve finished the goals in every park across both games, you can unlock Pro Goals for each park, which introduces a whole new set of challenges.
