Explanation:
The hidden secrets or cheat codes in the software:

In the context of software, an Easter Egg is a hidden feature or novelty that the programmers have put in their software. In general, it is any hidden, entertaining thing that a creator hides in their creation only for their own personal reasons. This can be anything from a hidden list of the developers, to hidden commands, to jokes, to funny animations.

1- Undocumented, Hidden, and Non-Obvious
An Easter Egg can't be a legitimate feature of a product, or be an obvious part of a storyline. Easter Eggs will usually stand out either because they totally don't fit with their context (like a pinball game in a word processor), or because they have a deeper hidden personal meaning to the creators, so they threw it in for entertainment.

2- Reproducible
Every user with the same product or combination of products must be able to produce the same result given the instructions. If others can't reproduce an Egg, then it doesn't belong in this archive.

3- Put There by the Creators for Personal Reasons
The Egg must have been put there on purpose, and furthermore have a personal significance to the creators beyond just making a better product (movie, TV show, software program, etc).

4- Not Malicious
Easter Eggs are there for fun, not to do damage.

5- ENTERTAINING!
The most important element... if it's not there for entertainment, it's not an Egg.

Explanation:
Easter egg usually refers to hidden items, pictures, videos etc in games where the player may find intentionally or unintentionally, but needs background information to understand it.

Example sentence(s):
  • Referring to previous games from the developer in the latest game (GTA V referring to GTA San Andreas and GTA IV in dialogs and pictures, pervious games from the same developer; Rockstar)
