Secrets in Games/APP's

Portal is a puzzle based game that defies the laws of physics. The creators valve have created a wide range of games and have created a world wide fan base so the creators like to add a little gift to their games to make the hardcore fans find them, these a re called Easter Eggs even though they arn't done in the month of April they still have the same principle of hiding things in hidden areas. In this photo it shows 4 of the Turret machine gun firing robots in a hidden area, this Easter egg is a singing Easter egg and they turrets are making music.

Another type of secret in media is in you every day phone. The creators of Apple coded in the function Siri an intellectual AI designed to help you figure out option, search the internet or if your really lonely someone to talk to. However if you as Siri what 0 devided by 0 is, you will be replied with a rather sarcastic  sentence.







A different type of interactive media is games that story changes because of your options picking. This is best exampled by TellTaleGames The Walking dead and how the story develops and gives you options such as save one character and let the other dies, this helps the player feel more connected to the story and that they don't want someone to die but they also don't want other character to dies so it cause a dilemma and draws you into the story.
