Too cool...Follow

From The Steampunk Home (a blog I like): "So you hire an architect to design your home. It's built, you move in. Four months later your son is having a sleepover and his friend discovers that the radiator grill has a ciphered message addressed to the son.... and the game begins."

I want to move to New York JUST to hire this architect. Of course, I don't have several million dollars to buy a place, nor several million more to renovate it, but still...how cool is this?

I'd be nice to have a house like in Thirteen Ghosts you know... without the ghosts and the killing.


Edit:
I'd keep Shannon Elizabeth, but the ghosts would have to go.

That's officially the most awesome thing I've ever heard of. I'd love to live in a place like that.

Way to guarantee they can never move out.

Why would they want to? Besides, I'd totally buy that place...I'd just put a different poem or something under the panels.

Well, I actually meant they'd be too attached to it to move out.

It's very cool. My brothers and I used to hide notes to each other that would lead to silly things. I'd forgotten all about that.

I used to hide series of notes for my sister or create elaborate treasure maps just so she'd leave me alone for an hour...it seemed nicer than the days of playing "hide and seek" where I just wouldn't look for her.

Cept, once the mystery is solved, what then? Pretty tough to shelve a house and dive into the next adventure.

As I said, my comment was more about the coolness factor than the mystery.

I imagine they get lots of friends & family who want to come over to solve it themselves.

Amazing! I wonder how long the architect thought it would take to figure out, and weather or not he is disappointed with how fast it was discovered.

I'm sure he knew that once the first clue was discovered it would unravel pretty quickly.
