The '''Tribute Room''' is an Easter egg that can be found in the campaign level [[The Package]] of ''[[Halo: Reach]]''. The room can be thought of as [[Bungie]]'s indirect thanks to parties who have expanded the Halo franchise completely independently of [[Microsoft]] and Bungie.

The easter egg can be found on Rally Point Charlie of The Package, on the [[Legendary]] difficulty. The room can be found on the far right side of Halsey's lab entrance, (when facing the building where Halsey's lab is located) though the door will not open initially. Access to the room can be achieved by completing the objective without opening Halsey's door, then traveling to the end of the map directly opposite to the Lab entrance. Once across the bridge bear left to a caged area. Behind and below this cage, outside of the map's boundary, is a glowing green switch, which requires one to activate it and quickly get within the map's boundary again, lest the timer expire and he or she die.

There are two methods to hit the button that opens the Tribute Room. For the first method, the player must use a jetpack to fly from the top of the building down to where the switch is and hit the switch while hovering. The second and much easier method is by using sprint. Once the player reaches the cage-like area, they must sprint ''around ''the building, or they may be killed by the death barrier. Once they hit the switch, then they must again sprint around the building and jump over the fence to survive, or in co-op, the person who hits the switch can choose to die and respawn. Due to the difficulty of this task it is recommended to complete the level on split screen or online with a friend, to prevent being sent back to the checkpoint upon every unsuccessful attempt. It is possible to survive using either method.

The room itself is Dr. [[Catherine Halsey]]'s lab from the level's ending cinematic. As the player enters the chamber, two songs can be heard on a loop: one is [[Siege of Madrigal]], which marks the second time in the game (the first being the [[Club Errera Easter egg]]), and the other is [[From the Vault]], a song unique to the Tribute Room that plays various pieces of other songs from the ''Halo'' series.

Inside the Tribute Room are [[seven]] databases that hold a collection of information in the form of textual documents, similar to the [[data pads]]. The documents, mostly written from Halsey's point of view, reference to [[Bungie]]-related topics, most of them dedicated to the fan community; the [[Seventh Column]], [[Halo.bungie.org]], ''[[Red vs. Blue]]'', [[Warthog Jump]] and the [[Bungie.net]] forum moderators. One terminal is dedicated for Bungie's charity projects, including "[[Fight the Flood]]" after [[Wikipedia:Hurricane Katrina|hurricane Katrina]] in 2005 and "Be a Hero" during the [[Wikipedia:2010 Haiti earthquake|2010 Haiti earthquake]].

Several Bungie- and Halo-related posters can be seen in the hidden chamber: A picture of Spartan-117 rushing the beach in the Silent Cartographer Level from ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]'', a ''[[Halo 2]]'' launch poster featuring the Master Chief dual-wielding a pair of SMGs, a landscape image of Master Chief standing with his weapon in the [[cease fire|alert position]] in ''[[Halo 3]]''<nowiki />'s [[Sierra 117]] level, and the first frame of the opening cutscene from ''[[Halo 3: ODST]]''. Bungie's "carnage zone" warning sign can be seen on the wall near the entrance, and a picture with Ling-Ling's head is shown on one of the desks.<ref name="youtube">[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nZk_Ko5VD64 '''Youtube''': ''<nowiki>[Halo Reach]</nowiki> The Monument to All Your Sins'']</ref> A picture of [[Marty O'Donnell]] and [[Jason Jones]] can also be found, as well as a photo of Bungie's [[7 Steps to World Domination]], ''Halo 3: ODST''<nowiki />'s title screen, and a Bungie "Don't Make Us Kick Your Ass" logo placed on a desk. Multiple [[Xbox 360]]s can also be seen in the room, under one of the terminals. The consoles are upside down and their lights are colored blue instead of the actual green. [[Dr. Halsey's personal journal]] can be found next to Cortana's terminal, which also has a screen that displays an exchange between Cortana and Halsey, concerning Cortana's transfer to another [[The Package (data storage unit)|storage unit]]. There is a door switch next to the room's entrance - activating the switch will trigger the ending cutscene, completing the mission.

*There is a screen that has the faces of every current Noble Team member with their corresponding names below. Their pictures in question are taken from an early concept art piece, only now tinted in black and white. Starting from the right, panning to the left the images begin to fade. Next to Emile, there is a completely blank spot labeled "YOU!" where the name would be, referencing the fact that you are Noble Six.

*Accessing the Tribute Room in ''[[Halo: The Master Chief Collection]]'' will unlock the [[This is Not the Greatest Lab in the World…]] achievement, which is a direct reference to the song Tribute by the band Tenacious D.
*You do not need to kill the generals in order to access the room. Simply use a Mongoose and drive into the teleportation zone.
