In the game Directive 8020, players collect 50 Secrets hidden throughout the levels. While many are easy to find, it’s possible to miss some if you rush ahead. Luckily, the game lets you go back to any point to search for them, and Explorer Mode lets you replay levels as many times as you need. This guide shows you where to find all 50 Secrets, with pictures to help.
