Okay, now I have my answer. I somehow triggered the program to tell me about the new quest, "Dark Side of the Secret". I went, as instructed to the Secret Room and had my first shot at getting the first item (the Dark Hood). No luck with the Hood, but as soon as I had finished that first try I got a message over the city view which said,

"The "Secret Items" event mode is activated in the "Secret Room" location."

and then a message box from Isabelle, saying,

"The unique mode "Secret Items" is active in the Secret Room. Look for special items - Detective Keys - in the location. They are not displayed in the search list. I'm confident that your gift as an investigator will help you collect all the keys without the slightest problem."

And finally I remembered that in the earlier events, the keys/bunnies were activated by the first quest starting.

My problem here solved. I have tried to explain it in detail so that anyone doing as I did as searching this forum on keywords such "secret items" or "special keys" or even "hidden keys" will have something ot go on for this or even subsequent events.

The only thing I don't know is whether I could have started that quest earlier, perhpas by looking in the "book", rather than waiting for the game to deliver it to me.
