hidden level

Unlockable bonus area

A hidden level is a secret area in a video game, accessible only through obscure actions or undiscovered paths: I finally found the hidden level after beating the boss without taking damage.

The term extends to any concealed layer of complexity or meaning: There's a hidden level to their relationship that outsiders don't see.
