There are at least three floors that we know of. The roof with the "GIFT" sign also has a weather vane that has the letters W, H, A, and T, along with a question mark, instead of the usual W, S, N, and E (respectively, assuming the 'W' stands for West).ĭuring the Weirdmageddon parts 1, 2, and 3, the W, H, A, and T in the opening theme are replaced with a B, I, L, and another L, to signify Bill Cipher's reign over Gravity Falls. One side of the sloping roof has the Mystery Shack name (The "S" in "Shack" having been knocked off by Wax Sherlock Holmes during his fight with Dipper in " Headhunters"), and the other has a small platform with a cooler that Wendy often hangs out on. There's also a cellar door under the gift shop window. The main entrance, the porch entrance, a small door which leads directly to the floor room, and the gift shop door. The Mystery Shack has no less than four exits. The Shack is intended to be an "ever changing, inconsistent, labyrinthine location." It does have a loose layout that was developed while the show went on, but ultimately, it's meant to feel "mysterious and magical." Exterior

After Soos' sentimental words, Stan decided to name Soos the new owner. In "Weirdmageddon 4: Somewhere In The Woods," At Dipper and Mabel's birthday party, Stan reveals that he and Ford are going to go sailing around the world and planned to shut the Mystery Shack down permanently, a decision which greatly upset Soos. In "Weirdmageddon 3: Take Back The Falls," the survivors inside the Shack use one of McGucket's plans to turn it into a mech to rescue Ford. In " Weirdmageddon 2: Escape From Reality," it is revealed that Stan, as well as a number of people and creatures, have taken refuge within the Shack due to its protection from Bill. Despite those pranks being out of revenge. In " Roadside Attraction," when the Pines family, Grenda and Candy return to the Shack, they witness it being vandalized by the victims of Stan's pranks. Dipper and Ford managed to create an invisible Bill-proof shield around it to prevent anyone within the Mystery Shack from being manipulated by Bill Cipher. Ford is shown to possess the Mystery Shack's architectural plans. Later in the episode, a wall is destroyed by Probabilitor's "math ray" which pushes back construction even more.ĭuring the events of " The Last Mabelcorn," the Mystery Shack is shown to have been fully repaired. In " Not What He Seems," the Shack suffers extensive damage due to the gravity anomalies caused by the Universe portal.īy the events of " Dungeons, Dungeons, and More Dungeons," the Shack has been temporarily closed for repairs. Stan claimed it was a "big woodpecker" when a construction worker asked. In " Scary-oke," the shack was wrecked again by a zombie attack but it was fixed soon after. Gideon had made plans to build an amusement park called "Gideon Land" over the property in " Gideon Rises." The Shack was quickly rebuilt soon after Gideon was arrested. In " Dreamscaperers," Gideon Gleeful has his father partially demolish the Shack with a wrecking ball after he successfully steals the deed to the building. Mystery Shack grand opening as the "Murder Hut" before it was renamed. The Pines, Wendy Corduroy, and Soos Ramirez make up the staff. Stan runs and resides at the Shack, and Dipper and Mabel Pines spent their first summer away from home there as of 2012. There was also a costume store near the site fifteen years ago. For some time, one of the most lucrative exhibits was the Wax Museum of Mystery, though Stan closed it after tourists stopped coming to see all of it.

Stan has lived in the Mystery Shack for decades, and at some point, he added a museum to it after people showed their interest in knowing what was inside. His first tour was successful and fulfilled Stan's goal of raising money for the rent. Tourists decided to visit the shack to what was inside the mysterious man's home. He started the business by faking his identity, pretending to be his brother, Ford. As a business, the Mystery Shack, originally "The Murder Hut", was first created by Stan Pines, in an attempt to raise money to pay his brother's rent. After his disappearance, his brother, Stan Pines, began to inhabit the shack in order to rescue his brother. Through Ford's investigation of the Great Flood of 1863, he learnt that the land the Shack was built on was a mass grave of victims from the Flood. The estate was bought from "Northwest Realty", and the shack was built by a young Manly Dan. The shack was originally the home of Ford Pines, during his studies of Gravity Falls.
