Ah. I see. I clicked on the doorknob the first time, but didn’t drag. 'Course, it doesn’t get any more exciting. ---

Actually, this is kind of cool. You can open a door part way, then open another door part way so you have two doors sticking out. Then you can grab a door with your mouse and fling it open and it will bang into the other door, causing it to move. Play with it a little more! ---

There is even more crap if you go to the host top level page on that site. Seems like a waste of good url’s to me. ---

I don’t open doors because there may be clowns on the other side. ---

I opened all mine so they are knob-to-knob and now all I have is an array of doors. ---

[QUOTE=kittenblue] Ah. I see. I clicked on the doorknob the first time, but didn’t drag. [/QUOTE] D’oh…same here. I clicked the doorknob, and nothing happened. Then I clicked the keyhole, and nothing happened again. Then I spent about ten minutes clicking the panels on the door, trying to figure out the secret pattern that would reward me for my puzzle-solving efforts, and even more nothing happened. I feel like a bit of an ass now. ---

No screamer. Just a really, really strange… thing. Seriously, was that supposed to do anything?
