Area 52 Hide & Seek

Welcome to Area 52, the secretive sister facility to the infamous Area 51—where conspiracies run wild and nothing is as it seems. This is my first-ever custom map built in Scrap Mechanic, and it's packed with 69+ unique hiding spots designed to challenge seekers and reward the sneakiest hiders. But that's just the surface... -Explore a world of Easter Eggs inspired by iconic movies, hidden throughout the base for curious players to discover. -Embark on a main Easter Egg quest that leads to a mysterious finale—complete it to truly conquer the map. -Hiding time is set to 3 minutes, so make every second count. -Pro tip: Take time to explore the map before playing—some of the best spots are tucked inside other spots. -Destructible items are fair game—feel free to break things if needed. I didn’t place any switches on breakable objects, so you won’t miss anything critical. Shoutout to Scrapman, Kan, Moonbo and yes even Kosmo for the entertaining Multiplayer Mondays ... Spoiler Alert: The following section contains the walk-through of the main Easter Egg quest. If you'd prefer to discover it on your own, stop reading here and dive into the map! Spoilers! Spoilers! Spoilers! Spoilers! Spoilers! Step 1: Find all the lightsabers hidden within the Grocery Store. - Collecting all the lightsabers is the first step to restore power to the door in the UFO, a crucial step for what’s coming next… Step 2: Hold down the button located at the back of the Grocery Store to gain battery power. - This action activates the next phase of the quest, charging the UFO’s system and triggering it to allow you to open the door in the UFO and display a special code—essential for progressing deeper into the mystery. Step 3: Track down the hidden 10 iconic pop culture relics scattered across the facility. Each item pulses with residual energy. Collecting them all powers the machine by the mountain. 1 Xenomorph lurking in the shadows—watch your step.

Each one corresponds to the pop culture items you’ve collected. - When a pump’s indicator light activates, click and hold that pump until its energy transfers. - Repeat the process for the remaining pumps. Step 5: Access the cave by pressing the button on the cave door and the button beneath the UFO dashboard. Step 6: Once all three pumps are charged and the cave door is open, make your way into the mountain where the hidden engines should now have energy. You will then be able to ignite all 3 engines and moments later, a controlled blast will tear open the rock face, revealing a concealed doorway deep within the cave. Step 7: The door requires 10 colored switches to be turned on hidden all around the map.
