This is an open field west of a white house with a boarded front door. There is a small mailbox here with "1600 Pennsylvania Avenue" written on it.
You see a newspaper on the doormat.

It reads:
- Zork Dungeon Newsflash!
- (From the desk of Implementor L, 10:13, 22 February 2007 (UTC)):
- The opening chapter of Zork has been streamlined. The goal of this modification is to make the trapdoor the required entrance to the Great Underground Empire, as it is in the "other Zork game."
- The Laboratory has been moved from the White House to after the Jabberwock room, thus tying the entire trapdoor->Morgoth->Jabberwock dead-end arc into the main arc.
- Opening the sealed, locked door takes you to the Laundry Room, where you can find a stout stepladder.
- So that the player remains motivated to use the stepladder to attempt to get the sword, the other adventurer no longer takes the sword while you're doing other stuff. I'm not sure how many people noticed that - it was a tad subtle.
- Morgoth is no longer Morgoth. Also, that non-sequitur "portal" in the West of Morgoth room is gone.
- The consequence of this change is that the Move Counts for every room after the Laboratory room will require updating. The Dungeon Master welcomes any assistance in this regard.
