I did this one last week and aced it, but did not remember a bonus. I guess I’ll try it again and maybe even pick a different house this time around.

How is there nothing for Manufacturing (except MAYBE Enterprise, but we are not that big…)

I did a bonus path: House of Lite, but it seemed a little less about products and more about DNS, nostalgia and retirement, so not too sure how much I learned. 
6 Spice ups
I chose House Enterprise (Zen Frog), stumbled initially on the first question, but recovered and completed my quest as well as the bonus quest to find the Wizard in House of Lite!

I went through this when it came out. Really fun. Went through it again with a different House this time.
First Go-Through was House of the Lone IT Pro. Second go was House Retail.
Lone IT Pro was the closest one to SMB or MSP on the list.
The attempted Rick Roll in Ancient Valley caught my attention.
Bonus Entry: Where can I get a Key of DNS?
Side Quest 2: (I know there’s no bonus for this, but wanted to share): Loved the adoption of the TARDIS in the ad!

I did House Data Center (Googley Eyes). I enjoyed the entire page of Ghostbusters Easter eggs. I loved that movie when I was a little kid.

Since I have most of the contents, you can exclude me. I picked Lone IT. So, on the left it shows Clue 1 etc. Is there a clue on the map? I am so confused.
5 Spice ups
The map is on the left. The clue (text) is on the right.

- House of the Lone IT Pro (Devil Duck) was my path.
I liked the authentic-feeling digital tabletop gaming experience, from the map, to the questing, the SFX, and written narrations. I hope you add even more realistic touches as you evolve this concept!
6 Spice ups
I figured that out eventually. Like I wanted a clue under the clue.

I wasn’t sure what to qualify a manufacturing plant that makes things for the power grid (utilities).
That seemed the most sense. Learned a couple things about the rack sizes. Cool interactive site. Looks like a lot of effort went into it.
EDIT: Just did the bonus path. Got a laugh out of me. Cool art btw. Nice nod to XP and thinking about old tech.
4 Spice ups
So cool. Easter eggs are the hallmark of any gaming experience.

- House Enterprise (Zen Frog)
This is the path I took.
Loved learning about the DITPM capability and options.
Once you go lithium you will never go back.
My back has felt the pain of Lead acid - so i truly appreciate Lithium Lands.
An Easter egg? I found “Ares III” - the mission name from the movie “The Martian”
Bonus:
The Talisman told me I am unplugged but unforgettable.

I chose this path. I didn’t get a chance to go through the bonus area yet. But, I did learn about the equation to calculate the amount of cooling needed for specific amounts of thermal output. That’s not something I’ve really had to deal with before, I don’t think. At least, I didn’t know the “proper” way to deal with it, lol.

I went to the House of Lite, but for some reason the goats ate all my stuff!
4 Spice ups
I took the path of Lone IT Pro and upon completing my quest and collecting my unladen sparrow, I furthered along to the House of Lite. There I saw wondrous sights and learned that in the future of all IT Pros is Goats? Really, Goats? I guess I may as well grow a small patch of facial hair and await the inevitable.

I choose the House of the Lone IT Pro and then the Path of Light.
4 Spice ups
I took the road of the Lone IT Pro - exploring the map and finding the “Dunes of it’s always DNS” and “Oasis of User Appreciation” got me, and led to me exploring a few paths to power
