About the story

Secret Story is  a reality TV show with gaming components in which the candidates compete to protect their own real-life secrets.

All candidates are cut off from the outside world and live together in a house filled with traps, secret passages and hidden rooms. This place of mystery is ruled by The Voice, an ethereal presence which will challenge the candidates, manipulate them, and expose their true personalities.
