Secret Room

The Secret Room used to be home to a brilliant Detective and is located beneath the building in the bottom left corner in the City. It had once already been in the game in the early days but is now reintroduced as part of a new Event.

This mysterious place finds clues and gives answers to those investigating unsolved crimes, but only to those who are able to see the evidence.

In the past, it's given out hints and clues via mirrors or tarot cards to those investigating the crimes when one day it just vanished.

The legend says that only the appearance of the Chosen One (aka the player) can awaken the Secret Room and reopen it for the townspeople.

The room is shown to be aged as most of the City is, but has some classical atmosphere to it. There is a chess set, fireplace and a large triple tiered candlestick that adorns the room, and many props from before the modern era give the room a feel that you've gone back in time.

When a player is looking through the room, it's important for them to notice the gradient detail of the background; the room's shading goes from red to a blue-grey, which can also hide objects of similar color. It's important to note that this area is particularly tricky; many of the hidden items listed can be hidden inside the photos hanging along the left wall as well as blended into the walls themselves.

On the map, the room with a green roof is animated with a glowing doorway.

Ranks
This table shows the energy, experience, and coins for each rank of the Secret Room. These will be different depending on a player’s rank and if they participated in the 2018 May event. After the event, the required energy, as well as rewards, rise.
 * Energy is different for different plays depending on what their personal level is in-game. (Ex. Level 9 may have lower energy cost throughout the event, and level 50, may have a higher energy cost throughout the event) Therefore this chart is not going to be the same for everyone during an event.

They become the normal requirements for for entering the location for both old and newer players.
