Make it a video greeting thing for your front door
Make people do some kind of quiz thing to get in. Maybe you could hook it up to a web cam and greet them with "I've been expecting you Mr ...."

you could have a quiz like that old early 90s thing where celebrities answered questions on the screen

you would also need a camera pointed at them

And a trapdoor for wrong answers
Maybe turn your pathway into some kind of total wipeout style assault course.

There's enough room! I may just do that

Wow what a brilliant idea!
Hook up to a motion detector which will ask them to look at the camera. Webcam with facial recognition? Customised greetings from a database? Link it to the house alarm so it will greet people it recognises with a meaningful message? All others to be informed you are not receiving visitors but if they feel lucky they may ring the bell?

This is possibly the best idea I have ever heard in my entire life, even better than that time someone told me about the NHS.
That would be so seriously cool.

I really do like this idea
I'd have to put it inside and great on entry though as it would get nicked outside. Now I need software that will associate a face with a preset greeting.
