Time Distortion Effect for Guests

Equipment:

House

n Rooms in house, n>>1

m Clocks, m > n

.

Procedure:

1) Set clock time for first clock

2) Place clock in room

3) Set clock time for next clock, and make it faster or slower by x minutes, x > 0

4) Repeat steps 2 & 3 until you run out of clocks

5) Invite guest to house

6) Bring them to rooms of choice

7) Observe effects on guests

.

By varying the variation in clock times, you can alter the effect on guests.

Step number 6 requires some explanation. If you just want to confuse guests, you can keep bringing them into rooms that are alternately faster and slower than the actual time. If you want them to leave early, bring them to the room that is an hour ahead of time (do it gradually; go into rooms that are just a few minutes ahead of the previous room). And if you want them to stay longer, just bring them into a room where the clock is stuck at the time they entered your house

Of course, the more rooms the better, and you’d probably want to give them a reason to leave their watches at the door (something like, “My dog loves to chew on watches” or “There’s this powerful anti-watch magnet that I’ve just installed and I’ve been wanting to try it out!” or simply just “Get that watch out of my sight!”)
