secret level
Concealed bonus area
A secret level is a hidden stage in a video game, accessible only through obscure actions or meeting specific conditions unknown to most players.
The term extends to anything concealed within a larger system that rewards those who discover it: Finding the speakeasy felt like unlocking a secret level.
The phrase suggests privileged access and the thrill of discovery.
