	A '''secret''' is a part of the game that is usually not intended to be accessed by the player. For example, in [[Grand Theft Auto III]], the game's [[Introduction (GTA III)\|introduction]] does not take place within the constraints of the game's [[Liberty City in GTA III Era\|landmass]]. Instead, it takes place on an isolated block of buildings (named the [[Ghost Town]] by fans]], isolated by water and hidden from the player's view behind a solid landmass. The only way to access it is via [[modifications]] or by flying the [[Dodo]] across a long distance, an incredibly difficult feat for most players. Other examples include the [[FBI Truck]] and the [[Brickade]], vehicles present in the game's files that can only be found and driven via modifications.

			This page gives an overview of the concepts of '''secrets''' and '''Easter eggs''', which are found throughout the [[Grand Theft Auto]] series. For lists of those that can be found in each game, use the following pages:

	A '''secret''' is a part of the game that is usually not intended to be accessed. For example, the [[~~Ghost Town~~\|~~buildings~~]] ~~where cutscenes are animated often aren~~'~~t normally accessible~~ in~~-game~~, ~~but they can be accessed through 3rd party trainers. The~~ [[~~Andromada~~]] ~~plane in [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas~~]] ~~is a real vehicle used in a cutscene~~, ~~but is never made available to~~ the player ~~but there is~~ a ~~secret~~ way to ~~obtain~~ it.

	An '''[[wp:Easter egg (media)\|~~easter~~ egg]]''' is ~~an intentional surprise or present placed into~~ the game~~. For example~~, ~~there is a sign on top of the [[Gant Bridge]]~~, [[~~San Fierro~~]] ~~saying ''"There are~~ no ~~Easter Eggs up here~~, ~~Go away"''~~.		An '''[[wp:Easter egg (media)\|Easter egg]]''' is something hidden within the game world that, unlike secrets, [[Rockstar Games]] actually intended players to find. They usually have no effect on gameplay, their only purpose being amusement. A good example would be a the large beating heart found within the [[Statue of Happiness]] in [[Grand Theft Auto IV]], which is only accessible by landing on top of the statue's pedestal via helicopter and walking through a non-solid door (suitably marked with a plaque saying "''No Hidden Content This Way''").

	*[[Atrium]] statue '~~touching himself'.~~
	*[[Area 69]] Half Life reference
	*[[Dillimore]] gas station with "~~Max Pane" glass.~~

	~~==Myth==~~
	~~:''[[:Category:Myths]]''~~

	~~A '''myth''' is~~ a ~~secret or Easter egg that does not actually exist~~, usually ~~made up by the fans due to~~ the ~~complexity of the game~~. For example, ~~many people believe that~~ [[~~Bigfoot~~]] ~~roams around~~ the [[~~Back o~~' ~~Beyond~~]] of [[~~State of San Andreas~~\|~~San Andreas~~]].		==See also==
			Grand Theft Auto games contain a large number of references to and parodies of popular culture, usually in the advertising and media found ingame. For example, billboards in [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]] advertise "[[True Grime Street Cleaners]]", a parody of the '[[GTA Clone]]' "[[wp:True Crime: Streets of LA\|True Crime: Streets of LA]]". Furthermore, missions are often named as references to pop culture, for example, [[Don in 60 Seconds]] and [[Dragon Haul Z]] are plays on [[wp:Gone in 60 Seconds\|Gone in 60 Seconds]] and [[wp:Dragon Ball Z\|Dragon Ball Z]] respectively. Usually, these are categorized as Easter eggs.

	~~==See Also==~~		[[Cheats]] are manual codes that can be entered by the player via controller/keyboard that directly affect the ingame world. They are used by players to make the game easier and to alter their gameplay for fun.
	~~GTA games also contain a large number of references to popular culture, usually in their advertising, such as billboards showing "~~[[~~True Grime Street Cleaners~~]]~~" as a reference to~~ the ~~popular '[[GTA Clone]]' "[[wp:True Crime: Streets of LA\|True Crime: Streets of LA]]"~~. ~~Usually they~~ are ~~categorized as Easter eggs~~.

	[[~~Cheats~~]] are ~~manual codes entered~~ to ~~alter gameplay~~, ~~such as~~. ~~These are created intentionally by Rockstar~~ to ~~allow gamers to have occasional fun without having to spend hours searching for~~ the ~~right vehicle or escaping~~ a ~~wanted level. However~~, ~~many gamers use cheats throughout gameplay~~.		[[Modifications]] are alterations to the games not authourised by Rockstar Games. Examples include custom vehicles, new player skins and altered textures. Many tools exist to alter the gameplay experience, called Trainers, which can modify any number of things in real-time whilst you're playing a game, from spawning cars to enabling flight.

	[[~~Modifications~~]] are ~~alterations to~~ the ~~games such as vehicles, buildings, maps, player skin, textures, missions etc created by third-party sources (not~~ [[~~Rockstar~~]]~~). Also, many tools exist to alter the gameplay experience, called Trainers, which~~ can ~~modify any number of things~~ in ~~real-time whilst you're playing a game, from spawning cars to enabling flight~~.		[[Myths]] are features some players wrongly believe can be found in the game. Probably the most famous is the myth that [[Bigfoot]] can be found in GTA San Andreas.

			Occasionally, real brands from the real world are actually featured in the game. For example, in [[GTA: San Andreas]], you can find supermarket carts (that don't appear in the game) in the internal files bearing the [[wp:Safeway Inc.\|Safeway]] logo, or [[wp:Union Pacific\|Union Pacific]] trains inside [[Zero RC]].
