Animal House & Club

The front yard in Animal House.

## **Description**

Animal House & Club is a default hangout world made by Worlds Inc. in 1998 that was named after the 1978 Comedy Film *Animal House* in collaboration with *Universal* / *Hyundai LLC* and was built as a place where college students could come chat and participate in online activities.

Animal House consists of an outside area, the inner areas of the frat house and a dance club popularly known as Club. The outside area is mainly just the street in front of the house and yards around the house as well as an entrance to the basement in the back yard. Upon entering the house a user will be greeted by a hallway with rooms that contain avatar galleries for both vip and non-vip accounts. The living room can be entered from the hallway and contains a bar, a place to play darts and a television area that appears to flash images of people at a beach. Going up the stairs leads to rooms that can't be entered and further up is an attic with an artificial skeleton. Heading downstairs leads into a basement with an underground maze with paths leading to places such as Club, colored rooms, and a big underground cave. The main area of Club contains a backstage entrance from entering the underground maze where one can enter either the dance floor or a stage to perform your coolest dance moves! The back entrance contains a bathroom with graffiti referencing an unknown individual named Tyler and what may be an artist's tag titled "OP7". The side entrance leads to an area that acts as a intersection for elevators that can travel between levels in Worlds Center and another portal leading into the WorldsStore.com World.

### Turn on Music?: Yes

Spooky music can be heard in the basement as soon as entering the mysterious maze and the Club also plays groovy dance music in the dance club.

### Easter eggs?: Yes

Jumping the fence of the front yard in Animal House will give you quite a jump as well!

## **Significance**

Animal House was the first world to be sponsored by a movie studio within Worlds and one of the first places made by Worlds Inc as a result of partnering with a non-tech company. It is likely that this success with Universal / Hyundai lead to Worlds partnering with many more companies in hopes of furthering the notoriety of the Worlds Inc. brand. The living room has also been a popular spot for people to gather for events such as parties, trivia and poetry/comedy. One further note of importance is how often Animal House has been used as the basis for many custom user worlds.
