So... what's this about?

So I noticed there's something odd on the level map:

The center of is surely looks like a QR-code. After tweaking it a bit, i got this:

which decipers TWENTY-SEVEN. Dunno if I found something mundane, or something misterious :D Does anybody know what this is?

Re: So... what's this about?

Well, 27 is the magic number: 27 skill levels, 27 xp levels, and probably something else I am currently forgetting.

Cool detail, though.

Yup, it's a vault I made a few years back. minmay_shattered_shrine. I don't recall exactly how I got the idea, but at some point it occurred to me that I could make a vault that looked just like any other DCSS vault and was also a valid QR code. Because I could keep trying different messages and formats, it didn't take too much trial and error to get a code that didn't have any islands, and still scanned as a Crawl-related message.
