Example of hidden page content.

Many Team Fortress 2 update pages contain hidden pages. These hidden pages usually contain hints to future parts of the update that have not yet been revealed, extend the background story of the game and its characters, or even rewards an item to finders on a first-come first-served basis. Some of the links to these pages have since been disabled.

Locating hidden pages

Hidden pages can usually be located by highlighting the entire page in your browser, forcing any images or text with links to stand out. Viewing the page's source in your browser can also locate any hidden links.

  • On the 119th Update page, under the May 21, 2008 patch notes, clicking the words "multi-core machines" in the line "Optimized particle traces on multi-core machines" will lead to a hidden page of an advertisement for Teams and Fortresses 2, the "Turnless" Board Game, created by Newell and Sons circa 1901.
