When Jason Robinson’s daughter Emma found a mysterious door on the ceiling of her parent’s closet, she was on a mission to find where it led.
“She kept asking about it nonstop, so I promised we’d get a ladder sometime and see what’s up there,” Robinson said.
Emma’s dad decided to make a scavenger hunt out of the 3-year-old's curiosity, documenting the whole experience on a now-viral Twitter thread.

A few of you may remember that my 3yo discovered a door in our ceiling, and has been asking about what’s inside.
Her eyes were wide: “Papaí... there’s a DOOR... on our ROOF!!” pic.twitter.com/tPmVt4DVxh
The internet played along as Robinson hid a map and a locked box of treasure behind the door.
Secret doors need TREASURE though. So, I went to Claire’s at the mall, and bought the SPARKLIEST little treasure box I could find.

The map detailed familiar spots in the neighborhood to help Emma along her way.

“She was so excited when she found it, she ran back inside to open her treasure,” Robinson said.
And the treasure did not disappoint.

“Emma got out of bed the next morning and put the necklace on first thing, along with her princess dress,” Robinson said. “She had so much fun and it was a great way to spend the day socially distant at home.”
Thanks for following us on this little adventure!
