[GalFisk]

How did my home gain an apparent extra room?

[doriana_]

Is some obscure/technical definition of what counts as a room relevant?

[trebor2]

Did you build an addition? Did someone bring in a dollhouse? Did you get a copy of The Room, apparently worst film ever made?

[Biograd1]

Is the new extra room "apparent" to someone who looks at the home from the outside? who walks around inside? who reads a legal document pertaining to the house (e.g. a form for property taxes)? who views an ad relating to renting or otherwise using (all or part of) the house?

Is it a specific type of room? if so a bathroom? bedroom? living/family room? dining room? kitchen?

[Sundowner64]

An extra room in addition to the space you have already? or an extra room on the same space?
Does the extra room physically exist as a separate room? in your home? outside? in someone else's home? in a different city?

Google Maps/street view? Is it an app that's for: home reno help? Surveying? Fitness? Entertainment? Arts/music? Detecting paranormal activity? Is it an app that come standard on most phones? Is it related to skydiving? Another hobby? Something for your work?

I hope that asking you about skydiving hasn't just become standard now, but in my layperson brain I could see that there might be ways to get top-down views of potential landing sites or something like that.

When noone has asked about it for a long time, it's time.

Robot vacuum cleaners relevant at all?

[GalFisk]

Robot vacuum cleaners relevant at all? Yes, the robot vacuum cleaner thought we had an extra room. Why?

[Biograd1]

Is a mirror involved? Something else reflective?

[GalFisk]

Is a mirror involved? Yes. Something else reflective?
SPOILER: we bought a robot vacuum when we moved to a bigger place. During its rounds, it encountered a mirror propped against a wall until I could hang it, and concluded that there was another room behind it.

Thanks for playing!
