This is a story from TheNextWeb. Isn't that the same outfit that has been recently exposed for Plagiarism: <a href="http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3972651" rel="nofollow">http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3972651</a> while their CEO defended their behavior?<p>The story made it to the top of HN and earned an insane number of upvotes.<p>Is our memory really that short? Do we trust this story? Do we even want to read it?

As I remember it, the love lounge and the lucky 7 are different rooms. When Animation moved to another part of the building and Andrew got a new office, he built lucky 7 and the love lounge stayed intact.<p>I sat in the office next to the love lounge for over a year. Great way to see all the celebrities visiting the studio.

I'm always surprised I've never heard anything about the similar room at Facebook's old California ave. hq. There was a secret door in the basement to a small "situation room" type place.

Call me cynical, but I wonder if this would have the same number of points if Steve Jobs not namechecked in the title. I imagine a bunch of startups knocking holes in their walls first thing tomorrow morning.

Every building should have a secret room or two. There must be square miles worth of "wasted" interior room just like this in your average city.<p>Find it before the urbex/hobos do!

This is really cool, but is it legal to do something like this in an office space? Just thinking about health and safety, accessibility etc. Would love to be enlightened.<p>God I'm such a bore.

DreamWorks Animation also has a Secret Room, in the Lakeside building on their Glendale campus.

I wonder whether this inspired the low access tunnel in Being John Malkovich?
