Hattersons’ house

The **Hattersons' house** is a major location in *The Excellent World of Rumball*. It is, as the name implies, where the Hatterson family resides.

## Interior

### Kitchen

The kitchen has a checkered floor, a screen door leading to the laundry room, and a fridge with two cereal boxes on top of it, visible in "The Prank." The sink also has a garbage disposal large enough to put a DVD in, as shown in "The DVD." It has cabinets, brown and white cupboards, and a counter (which it shares with the dining room.)

### Living room

The living room has light red patterned carpeting with red wallpaper (but near the window, and the fourth wall, it changes to a dark brown wood.) The door entrance has a mat, and to the left of the window, there is a floor lamp with a red and yellow pattern for its shade. In the middle of the room, there is a brown plaid couch and a coffee table on top of a circular white and orange rug. Behind the couch are the stairs, which feature two paintings (the Hattersons and a unicorn.) There is also a door between the paintings that leads to Spiffy and Numberblock 1’s room, as seen in "The Man." On the fourth wall, there are two pairs of lights (with one having a pink tree-shaped handle.) There is a TV which is labeled "Soppy" near the screen, with a video game system, an orange jukebox, with circle speakers on both sides of the TV, and a bookshelf on the right. At the back of the living room, perpendicular to the stairs, is an arched doorway leading to the kitchen with a horseshoe lying above it. On the right of the doorway is an Art Deco painting of mountains, and the left side has a blue, wall-mounted touch tone telephone, and a pencil and a variety of notes hang beside it. Also on top of the door, there is a buzzer-like object.

Starting in season 2, the window lamp texture has changed to red with pink splatters on it, and a pair of shoes lie near it. Also, a light green TV book, a pencil, a glass, and a paper are added to the coffee table. On the left of the couch there is a red, floor based gooseneck lamp (which can sometimes be seen turned on.) There is also three pillows - One with a black coat of colorful patterns, the other with a wired circle on a red coating, and the other on the right is a plain tan pillow. Also, the green telephone near the kitchen entrance seems to have moved down a bit, and the said entrance has been raised higher.

### Dining room

The dining room is merged with the living room. It includes a table, chairs plus a high chair for Coiny, and an entrance leading to the kitchen. Located in this room are paintings of a sad bunny clown on the wall shared with the kitchen and one of two strange looking white horses galloping located in the back most wall of the room. In "The Remote," a small picture of a white, fat creature is seen under the sad bunny clown photo. There is also a small table with a magneta bowl sitting on top.

### Bathroom

The bathroom is located on the second floor and it is across from the stairs. Walls are in part white and in part green. The floor is wooden with small carpet lying near a bathtub. The toilet is on the right and washbasin is on the left. There is also the bathtub with a curtain ahead. The mirror is hanging on the wall above the basin and the first aid kit is hanging above the lavatory. Next to the basin there is also a laundry basket and small trash can. The door to the bathroom was always opposite the bathtub, but starting in season 3, it is to the right of the bathtub. From "The Lie" onwards, a window is shown inside the shower.

### Hattersons’ children’s room

This is the room where Rumball, Hammer Bro, and Coiny sleep. Hammer Bro sleeps in the Mario Bros. bowl (with a red "Please Knock" sticker on it) next to the bunk bed, where Rumball and Coiny sleep in. Rumball sleeps on the bottom bunk while Coiny, as shown in "The World," takes the top. Also in the room is a desk with a computer, along with posters, flags, and many other possessions of the children. The room is usually messy, which is rather typical of Rumball and Hammer Bro.

### Attic

The attic made appearances in "The Poltergeist," "The Wand," "The Car," "The Treasure," "The Mirror," "The Check," "The Pest," "The Nest," "The Scam," "The Diet," "The Puppets,", "The Anybody," and The Ad." It is rather cluttered and a bit dusty.

## Trivia

* This house is located at 2197 Running Donkey Street, Chicago, IL, USA.
	+ The house in real life only has one floor, but in *Rumball*, it has two floors and an attic.
	+ The house is currently blurred out when in Google Maps Street View for unknown reasons, but it was most likely done in order to comply with Google's newfound privacy policy for Google Maps. As of September 25, 2021, the house is now blocked by a white square on Bing Maps.
	+ In "The Heist", the house's in-universe address is listed as 2197 Running Donkey Street, Chicago, as a reference to the real life address.
* The laundry room interior was revealed in "The Goons," when Numberblock 1, Hammer Bro, and Coiny were playing with the washing machine.
* The house was originally green when the Hattersons moved in, until Numberblock 1 painted it as seen in "The Choices."
* The Hattersons’ children's room is to the right of the stairs, yet their window is shown in the front of the house. It means the layout of the house is inconsistent, or it may be an error on the writers' part. Even stranger, in some episodes such as "The Poltergeist" and "The Car," this window is part of the attic.
* Rumball and Hammer Bro have a game system in their living room, seemingly a combination of an SNES/SFC (controller) and GBOX 360 (shape and disc loading).
* A record player is also present in the house. In Rumball's room, there is a computer similar to the 1985 Commodore Amiga 1000.
* The Hattersons' mailbox has a little black face on the door.
* The Hattersons' TV is made by a company called "Soppy," which seems to be a parody of Sony. The real life TV set seems to be a 1979 IRRADIO (SALORA SCANMATIC 1E4)
* The house has a chimney but there is little evidence of it being used, as the fireplace inside has the TV blocking it.
* In the real life shots, the Robinsons' house is on the left side. In the shot of the house on the show, the Robinsons' house is on the right side.
* In an early production image, the house has eyes and a red awning over the porch with teeth. When asked if the house is alive, James Lamont replied" Everything in Chicago is alive." This early design would later appear in the Void in the titular episode.
* Rumball's room has a flag for a team called the "Ducks Dodgers," likely a reference to the titular character from the cartoon *Duck Dodgers*.
* Coiny's Flickr reveals a tire swing in the backyard, but it has not appeared in any of the episodes, other than a photo in "The Flakers."
* Numberblock 1 reveals in "The Castle" that the front door is made of solid oak.
* The house's front door has changed place over the seasons. Initially, the door was located to the right side and the front window was bigger, but it changed so the door is located in the front of the stairs and the front window became smaller.
* The Hattersons' house was the first place to appear in the show.
