Would you do it?

Live stream and post link before flipping TIA

If you flip it, someone will deliver a briefcase full of cash to you, but a random person somewhere in the world will die.

You get to see The Matrix for what it truely is. You stay in Wonderland and Morpheus will show you how deep the rabbit hole goes.

Your move.

Probably turns on HVAC for the room.

Now I have to know which hotel in our fair city has the switch of death...

 

[VeloClone]

I have checked into a hotel in Minneapolis and this is my light switch.

Would you flip it and see what it does?

Lord give me strength.

While this creates one mystery it answers another mystery. Now we know where Elton John got the inspiration for this classic:

Can I ask what hotel this is to avoid it?

 

[CoachHines3]

glory hole switch no way around it.

If it were crucial, they wouldn't have it in your room. It's probably for an outside outlet so engine warmers stay on in the winter. Flip it off see if there's any chaos.

Flip it as you leave for check out

Exactly. First find a napkin or kleenex, from your own stuff, flip it. See what happens, then check out and find a real hotel. Not a motel from using your door through outside to parking lot.

No response from OP so I'd assume they flipped it.

 

[JP4CY]

I have seen these before and always assumed they were for HVAC reasons.

Probably turns on the hotels secret gonkulator.

The hotel turns into a submarine?

 

[jcyclonee]

It’s the power switch to the hidden cameras they have around your room. So it’s up to you just how much you want them to see.

Personally, I’d take advantage and giving them the full Monty and seeing if someone rushes into the room and flips the switch for you.

If you've seen his tight-fitting costume from a basketball game it's really more of a quarter Monty at best.

This makes sense. They can easily shut down the power to the room when not being used without messing with the control panel. Newer hotels have the master switch by the door that sometimes you have to put the key card in to get the lights to turn on.

Nope. Watch Hogans Heroes. They made the original gonkulator. Or Gonk-YOU-LATE-TOR as pronounced by Shultz.

Yeah I've stayed in some of those....I think notably the Element brand.
