Somewhere dangerously close to the Kitchen lies the Laboratory. Here, great minds spend their days thinking up new ways to make life for the residents of the Mansion easier (or harder, if they feel like it).

So many strange and wonderful things have (or have almost) seen the light of day here. In a corner is a prototype for an innovative bee-based mode of transport. Several different implementations of time travel can be found around the lab, as can equipment for measuring luck, rubber band elasticity and sense of humour. The Shiny Object Locator has unfortunately been lost. There are blueprints for an anti-procrastination device as well, but those aren’t finished yet. And nobody ever remembers to work on the memory improvement machine. Thinking caps, however, are standard issue. Space expanders to increase the size of what was once a cupboard were one of the first things to be finished, for once out of need.

There’s a little corner dedicated to non-mad science as well, but it’s very dusty.
