* ''VideoGame/{{Hyperbolica}}'': One [[ArtCourse level is a museum]] where you can find people gathered around an object on the floor. They contemplate the artwork and wonder aloud what it could mean. You, however, may recognize it as an item in a FetchQuest: another character lost their hat and asked you to search for it. When you pick up the hat, the art-admirers are impressed by your unconventional "interpretation" of the piece: it represents the sorrow of loss and the joy of recovery! Brilliant!

** The following year, a couple of students at Robert Gordon University in Aberdeen pulled a similar prank by putting a pineapple on an empty plinth at an art exhibition held at the university. To their delight, when they came back to see if it had been removed, it turned out to have been given its own glass display case. Whether someone on staff thought it would be funny to play along with the joke, or was genuinely fooled, wasn't clear -- though the event's organisers took it in good humour and left it in place.
