My house (215 deaths / $117 000) John David Appleton

nyuklaus · 2014-02-16 17:11:45

Hi there !

Since i finally successfully got robbed, i would like to share my house/tips and hope some of you will like it.

For the record i got 215 deaths / $117 000 in approximatively 4 days.
I started with $10k and used $7k to build my house.

This the last screenshot i have before the last rob :

So first, here is a animation of my tapes list : (if the animation doesn't work click on it and refresh on the new page or wait few minutes for the loading)

And then my house :

And finally the solution : (if the animation doesn't work click on it and refresh on the new page or wait few minutes for the loading)

So you have to turn on 4 buttons only and in a very strict order or every circuits turn off (even if the player break electric walls) and make it impossible to reach the vault without tools.
The trick here is the door on the top, 99.99 % people think buttons open THIS door but it don't so they try all buttons and block the circuit every time.

as you can see in this animation of some deaths : (if the animation doesn't work click on it and refresh on the new page or wait few minutes for the loading)

So congratz to William George Morrison for successfully robbing my house (with brute force)

Understand i'm not here for bragging, i know there are a lot more complex houses but i just want to share my experience because when i started this game i was looking for topics like this

Before you ask, i know my name because a friend found my house before the end^^

I'm from france by the way so sorry if there is some spelling errors.

Have fun!

Thanks for putting this together. I found it very informative. Good luck on your next home

Wow, the wiring... confuses me.
HAHA!

Good work on the wiring side, I mean you've given me the blue prints and even so, it's confusing to follow.
However, you may want to look at brute force prevention in your next home.

14 waters + 1 crowbar + ladder = 14*100 + 1*2400 + 1*1800 = 5600

5600 isn't much, even if Morrison came in 3 times and used 3 times that, he still made heaps in profit.

I would agree with Panda. Too much electronics means too little room for your trap.

Also, two points. What does $60,000 in paintings even mean? Is that amount you paid for them, or are you just valuing each at $20K? And why is that Chihuahua there?

that's something we should always do, when a top house, or a very wealthy one gets robbed to 0, it would help the community so much and keep the challenge always on.

Very great work with the wires btw and great combination with the wired wood wall.

I'm still finishing my house (i was close but i died during a test ) but i think i will do something similar when it gets to an end.

Yes this was really my weakness, need more place for electronics !

Yes, for what i have seen, beautiful paintings don't last on the auction house under $20k, i recorded the second one :

And of course the Chihuahua is useless but a lot of people used brick or saw to get there instead of using it to escape the top trap (even if they escape the top trap, they always go down and die)
