easter-egg 

An unexpected aspect of a video game that is often hard to find and is not an aspect of story line.

In Grand Theft Auto Vice City there is a specific ramp, where if you hit it just right on your motorcycle you go through a window in to a room containing an easter egg. In this case the easter-egg is a statue of an actual easter egg.

Originates from the the 1975 movie "The Rocky Horror Picture Show," when the cast had an Easter Egg hunt but most of the eggs went unfound. They can be seen throughout the film in various locations (such as under Frank N. Furter's throne).

The framed picture of Julia Roberts inside the character's home was an Easter Egg inserted by the director.
