@Joni: Our only request if you recognize the property is that you not ruin the game for everyone else. That means it’s okay to just post a “guess,” or better yet, describe what you see in the photos to support your guess. It’s definitely not okay to say “I know that house, it’s in _________.”

But here’s a better and certainly more devious idea: If you really do know the house, try to come up with some really convincing explanations for why it’s in a very different neighborhood than it actually is — just to throw your competitors off the scent! If you do a good job at that (and email us privately with the correct answer, so we know what’s up), we’ll give your efforts special recognition!

EEEEEEE!!! Holy monkeys! I actually got one (semi-right)?

My life is now complete and I may rest upon my laurels… :)

This is really sad because I study HAR and have actually seen this house a few times before - but i’ve only looked at the water feature and then clicked off quickly because the house didn’t interest me. You left out the water feature, so I didn’t realize it was the same house! I have an important question - what if you DO recognize a house you’ve seen in HAR before? Do you play along or just not participate that week?Thanks!!!! great great game. And the winner really nailed it with that East side of 77019. good job K!
