hidden paths
Concealed ways through
Hidden paths are routes or walkways not immediately visible or known to most people.
A trail through woods might be hidden by overgrowth; a shortcut through a city might be known only to locals.
The phrase extends to any non-obvious way of reaching a goal: There are hidden paths to success that don't require a degree.
In video games, hidden paths often lead to secret areas or bonus rewards.
