2. Click on the box and check the Advanced Properties.
3. Set the Alpha to 0%.
4. Done! Now you can put secrets anywhere!

The only problem with this right now is that the lava tiles won't actually act as lava tiles when you do this; they'll act as normal tiles, which is not what we want.

3 Ways:

Put tiles in the background [ More realistic with the grass dirt ] Put a color box around it and make it blue and a wee bit clear.

Black holes.
Yep, f***ing black holes. ...You know they're invisible, right?
INSTRUCTIONS:
1. With the Tiles tab up, use the Select tool to highlight an area (make sure absolutely nothing is there).
2. Click Create Planet.
3. Change the gravity to the desired amount (if it's more than 60, it's almost definitely inescapable).
4. OPTIONAL: Create a path for it, custom or not. It gives it a bit of an unexpected effect when it gets you.
TO GET OUT:
If the gravity is set low enough, swing your way out with the arrow keys. If it's too much, well, then you're screwed.

I don't get it, what's the color effect box?

The Color Effect Box is the blue box item. Basically, you put it over any set of tiles, and whatever settings the Color Effect Box has, the tiles which it is over will be affected by those settings. Alpha is the opacity, or the percentage which you can see something. Therefore, if the Alpha is at 0%, you cannot see the blocks, making them invisible. Capiche?
