Upmystreet.com launched Home Improvisation to spoof popular Tv shows which promise you to renew your home/your garden/your life. The viral video is definitely funny, and the interactive video game offers you a good opportunity to test your ability at renovating. One more thing I like about this website is the attention to details: look for example at the animations used in the loading. Congrats to Glue London for the great job.
