Room Beyond the Fourth Wall (Brainstorming thread for real-world input)

Laura PCH Developer
in Writers' Corner
Once again we're coming to you guys for a more casual brainstorm, rather than a formal submission-and-vote -- we're looking to get your input over the weekend, so get your ideas in by end of day Sunday! This time we're going beyond meta and into real life:

Propose a name for one of the six new rooms in the real-life Schell Games office! Schell Games is expanding, and we’re gaining three new office rooms and three new storage rooms. The six room names we like best will each be assigned to a specific room, and all the game development teams in the company will refer to these rooms by their new names henceforth.  

Good room names are distinctive, easy to say, and easy to remember. Our current named rooms include:
  • The Chamber of the Ages,
  • the Vault of Tomorrow,
  • the Aquarium,
  • the Phone Booth,
  • the Igloo, and
  • the Garage.
On Monday morning we'll pick the names we like best and let you know which ones we're using!

    Oh my gosh I'm having far too much fun thinking these things up. I need to stop or I'll be at it all night!

    BuckaRoom

    If that doesn't win (hard to imagine) you should take solace in that fact that I will be using it to refer to my attic from now on.  Giddy-up to the BuckRoom!
