Every husband needs a hiding place! 🤫

An imaginary burglar needing a tour guide is not the response most home projects get. But beneath Justin Flom's hiding-place video, viewers are inventing emergencies in which the real problem is finding the exit.

The September upload added about half a million views in a day, nearly seven times its usual daily pace. That brings its audience to roughly 5.5 million, even as Flom's more recent videos turn toward costumes and trick-or-treaters.

"Every husband needs a hiding place! 🤫" fits the creator's ongoing fascination with transforming his home, which he calls his "Trap-Door-House." Here, the husband-escape premise has become an invitation for viewers to imagine the house as a maze: a sleepover guest hunting for the bathroom, a navigation app giving up, or an intruder calling for help.

One commenter connects it to the secret passages in Clue; another reaches for Home Improvement's Tim "The Toolman" Taylor. Others have a more practical request for Flom: decorate the hiding place so there is something to do while tucked away.

Anyone else remembers the secret passage ways in the mansion on the movie clue. It just came to mind. I'm sure he will eventually do it, if he hasn't already 🤦🏽‍♀️🤷🏽‍♀️😂
