funhouses
Distorted mirror buildings
Funhouses are amusement park attractions designed to disorient and surprise visitors with tilted floors, distorting mirrors, moving walkways, and unexpected obstacles.
The appeal lies in mild confusion and harmless fright.
Figuratively, a funhouse describes any disorienting or surreal environment: The bureaucracy was a funhouse of contradictory rules.
