GTA Vice City hides a secret that turns a familiar gaming expression into a visual joke. Players who find the hidden passage through a window reach a room containing a giant Easter egg, placed there by Rockstar as a nod to the term used for secrets hidden in games.
What is inside the room
The room contains a large Easter egg with a celebratory message. The joke is the literal meaning of an expression players normally use for hidden secrets.
The discovery rewards players curious enough to explore the city's seemingly ordinary passages and doors. The humor comes from the contrast between the effort required to find the room and the simple object waiting on the other side.
It has become one of the best-known examples of Rockstar's tradition of hiding subtle references in its settings. It is also a reminder that not every mystery needs to uncover an extraordinary story. Sometimes the discovery is simply a joke from the developers.
With Vice City returning in GTA 6, fans have been looking back at references to the locations and hidden jokes Rockstar has included throughout the franchise.
