YibMOO takes place inside and on the grounds of another large sprawling mansion, the vacation house of the fabulously wealthy and famously eccentric founder of YibCo, Inc. Somewhat unlike a certain other mansion, from which it draws some of its inspiration, this house is still (and perpetually) under construction. The owner's instructions to the contracting company were simply, "Surprise me. And make me laugh." Many builders have taken the opportunity to add to the mansion, extending it in dozens of different directions, each with a completely different vision and architectural style. The secret passageway system is rumored to be one of the finest in the world. ... Unbenownst to the world at large, the secret YibCo Research and Development facility lies beneath this very house, where a legion of inventors and crackpot scientists cook up their zany prototypes in a labyrinth of tunnels, laboratories and underground testing hangars -- strange sounds, smells, and wisps of brightly-colored smoke occasionally drift up to the main part of the house from these nether regions. The house, of course, is lavishly equipped with all of the latest YibCo prototypes. ^[1]
