## Unlocking Requirements

### Coins

500

Dimly lit with the smell of old books, it's a calm and peaceful place where you can activate artifacts, learn some of the City's mysteries or get a hint in a desperate situation.

- The Location Description

The **City Hall** is the second location the player is allowed to unlock. Being the second scene, it must be explored to level up and access the Room of Fate. Even after more locations are unlocked, it is still an important area for many of the City's Quests. When entered, the viewpoint is in the middle of a foyer, cluttered with ornate items and statues.

City Hall is designed to be simple to play; it has a vastly symmetrical appearance, straightforward perspective, and diverse lighting to aid the player's vision (one can clearly see the differences between the red stairways, stained glass top and center). Even at high Ranks, many of the objects remain in a clear sightline.

City Hall is very close by. City Hall is a unique location in the city as players tend to search it in order to find important answers. It’s a marvelous place and some say it was created by the Engineer himself. They also say that when someone is in need of help, City Hall can provide a valuable tip. Martha, our medium, says the City itself speaks through City Hall. I don’t quite see how the City can speak, but City Hall possibly can.

The music features a piano andante with bass chords as follow-ups. It's a perfect fit for the old library and dreary decor, suiting as an introduction to Hidden City and the Investigation.

During the Feb 2020 event, ****City Hall**** got a new updated look. It was renamed and player's progress was saved. It was renamed **Hall of Wisdom** and placed into the **Dungeons**. Since then, the fog has removed the old location and all of the Dungeons from the game. *For the old version, see Hall of Wisdom*.

## Ranks

Here's a table showing energy, experience and coins for each rank of **City Hall**.
