This game incorporates a "secret room" similar to the treasure room (only one player may enter it). The player is given a task to complete before time expires (e.g. exit the maze, collect all the super potions, et. al.). If the task is accomplished, the player is given a 6-digit code, which, at the time, could be mailed to Atari as a part of a promotion. The first 500 entries won Gauntlet II T-shirts plus a chance of winning a $5000 savings bond. The machine provides clues on how to enter the secret rooms whenever a hidden wall is shot away on any level (e.g "to enter secret room, do not use invunerability," "IT would be nice," et. al.).
