A secrets and powers game is a "traditional" theatre-style larp in which:

characters are mostly working to achieve some set of goals, which may or may not conflict with the goals of other characters, and goals can be accomplished by some combination of obtaining secrets and using powers (along with, possibly, other means, such as solving puzzles or convincing other characters through social interaction).[1]

The term comes from an article by Evan Torner and Katherine Castiello Jones in the WyrdCon Companion Book 2014, though they note that it had been used in larp circles for some time beforehand.[2]
