ThibG, probably the best way to identify if you are Matthew Frederick Waters is by your paintings. Do you have Ko by Frank Lantz, Momento Mori by Nova Jiang, The Watermelon by Derek Yu, and Eiffel at Dawn by Olivier Lejade?
This is indeed me.
Watch your recent tapes, I just walked to your safe, but didn't rob you, then turned back and electrocuted myself. I did this by only looking at the initial map and figuring it out.
Ok, I've seen a bunch of thoses 
It's really a very interesting puzzle if you see the initial map, but I *guarantee* you that no one will ever figure it out without the initial map. That's probably why Jason is considering selling the initial maps in version 6.
Glad to see you liked it! Come on, they only have to have an idea how the whole thing works, and then, they'll have to find the correct code out of ~16 millions.
As for how I got the map, I'm not going to answer that, because answering that will lead to rampant cheating. Maybe if Jason wants to know, I'll email him privately, but I bet he already has a good idea.
Well, I have a few ideas too, but I would still consider that cheating 
Now I've seen the map I would tend to agree, but with a map it's pretty easy to solve (I thought I'd try it and managed it on my second attempt - but didn't steal anything of course). This suggests providing maps are going to make it too easy (assuming they can be afforded).
Still your second attempt... well, only your second attempt... it's a bit easy, indeed, but that's probably my fault for not making it confusing enough. It would probably mean that pure combo-lock houses like mine would not be the most effective ones in the long term, but is it really a bad thing?

I also noticed that there's no way the family can ever leave the house in almost all of these. Are they all dead, or is it an exploit?
They're most probably all dead. People tend to kill the wife right away, and many kill the children out of frustration or revenge.
At least it's what has happened to me, allowing my house to start with an electrical floor.

Hum, that sounds like my house (but I'm probably not the only one to have such a house)... Apparently 16-bit combo lock, but in reality, 24-bits + a really precise way of pushing the buttons...
How did you get the map? (someone robbed me, but I think not only they had the initial map, but they had the map at each of their steps, judging by their early suicides when they realized they messed up)
I'm aware such houses may be kind of boring... I'll either hope the map thing makes it more interesting, or just scratch it in the near future, and play in a different way.
