Hello, I have been in search of a lock screen that would be difficult for an unwelcome guest to open, but easy for me because I know the trick. Something like a puzzle would be great, but one that is not obvious. I would prefer it to take a few moves to open. I'm also interested in hidden or ghoast lockers, or any locker where unlock is not easy to figure out.

Well, using Widgetlocker, I have an invisible slider on the screen. Basically you have to know exactly where it is to do so. You can set it to be a horizontal slide or a vertical slide. To make it even more confusing, you can put it on top of another widget. For example, you put it over the clock widget, so you swipe the clock so the device would be unlocked.
Another this is that you can set unlock to be say, a long 1-3 second or more press of the back button. You can hide the trick by doing a gesture on the screen whilst pressing the back button with your other hand. Even if they somehow memorize at a glance your "pattern gesture", nothing will happen.

Thank you for your suggestion. I wanted to share I found an app called Hidden Lock Pro $0.99 in the Play Store. So far I like it! I am able to hide the lock button anywhere on the screen, adjust the size, make it invisible and choose what ever wall paper I'd like. I got creative and took a screen shot of my home screen with the status bar hidden (so the time wouldn't show) and set it as the wallpaper. Now it seems as if the phone is frozen. Very cool 
Originally I installed the free version, but it has a button in the middle of the lock screen that takes you directly to the Play Store, and as per the reviews it is easily cracked. I wasn't able to do so myself, but going pro was definitely a good choice.

Kinda sounds like Widgetlocker but with less features.

I have widget locker but can't figure out how you make an invisible slider like you describe. How do you do it?

You add a slider, then select get themes, it's one of the choices.
