In an interview soon after Stardew Valley's release in February 2016, ConcernedApe (the developer of Stardew) stated that there was a weird and obscure secret that nobody had yet found.

Here is the part of the interview where the secret was discussed:

PCG: Finally, are there any secrets in the game that you haven't seen anyone find yet?
EB: Yes.
PCG: Yes?
EB: Yes.
PCG: And you're not going to tell me what that is, probably?
EB: No, I won’t tell you. [Laughs] I haven't told anyone.
PCG: Is it significant?
EB: It's not super significant, but it's kind of just so weird and obscure that I don't know if anyone will ever do it.

We don't know for certain what secret CA was referring to in that interview, even after nearly an entire year of searching. However, there are quite a few secrets the community has discovered, and there are sure to be more to find. The goal of this thread is to provide a place for secret hunters to coordinate their search.

February 14:
At the moment, it appears there are no more unfound secrets in Stardew Valley. DIG NameleSS1 asked ConcernedApe on Twitter, and that's basically the response he got. I'll update this with a link to that tweet when I can get it.

Try the konami code. Not sure how it would translate to the cyper, but would be interesting to try.

Actually, has anyone tried it in the first place just normally in game?

Edit: Tried it normally in game, standing in my house. Did nothing.

konami code is normally entered on the start up screen.

You may also be able to shorten it to just "Up up down down left right left right B A" or something like that as well.

I'm from future. So, a spoiler for you: it won't work.

i dont understand how the konami code is obscure in any meaning of the word anyways

If you are putting it using tilled soil as a code discovered in pixels on two plaques in the game mines, it sure seems a little obscure now.

I'm from the past, you shouldn't have forgot that just talking and doing nothing doesn't work too. :O

ConcernedApe quoted...

EB: It's not super significant, but it's kind of just so weird and obscure that I don't know if anyone will ever do it.

If he feel that the secret is not only so obscure but weird that he don't know if anyone will ever do it, then perhaps it is something that has to be done rather than being found.

I suggest we try something weird as he called it. Such as getting a large number of mushroom trees to grow. Or starting a new game and spend a few years without planting one single crop. Something along that nature.

I tried the no planting, staying in my house for 1 year and then 2 years without leaving. All I did was sleep, wake up, then sleep. Sadly nothing happened, just the whole farm was covered more than it was in the start of the game.

After that I played a year, then skipped a whole year inside. All that did was fill up my bat cave, every square with a fruit, and then filled my cleared farm up to max.

So yeah, sadly nothing happens from not doing anything for a few years in the game :(
Good thought though :D

I'm actually curious how your farm look like. Could you post a screenshot? :D
