Hide-and-seek hideout (6)

I believe the answer is:

closet

(Other definitions for closet that I've seen before include "place to store gear" , "secret is revealed" , "Small cupboard or recess" , "Shut away in private conference - in small room?" , "US press for clothing" .)

I've seen this clue in the LA Times.
