How to Use the Secret Index in Secrets Tycoon
The Secret Index is the single most important tool for any Secrets Tycoon player. Located prominently on the left side of your screen, this book icon serves as your personal secret tracking system, hint database, and progress dashboard all in one. Understanding how to use the Index effectively can dramatically reduce the time it takes to find difficult secrets and help you prioritize which secrets to pursue next. This guide covers every aspect of the Secret Index, from basic navigation to advanced hint usage strategies.
Index Interface Overview
When you click the Secret Index button, a frame opens displaying all obtainable secrets in a scrollable list. Each entry shows the secret\'s icon, name, difficulty rating, and whether you have discovered it. Discovered secrets are marked with a checkmark, while undiscovered ones remain unmarked. For secrets numbered 1-800, a Hint button is available next to each entry. The Index also displays the linked structure for each secret, and clicking the VIEW button next to a structure lets you see it in your current dimension if it exists.
Using Hints Effectively
The hint system is designed to help without spoiling. Each secret has multiple hint levels that provide progressively more detailed guidance. Start with the briefest hint and only escalate if you are truly stuck. Many players find that the first hint level is sufficient to spark the realization needed to solve the secret on their own. Hints often reference in-game mechanics, environmental features, or logical deductions that you may have overlooked.
