Idiomatically
"Going down the rabbit hole" is used as a reference to Alice in Wonderland, being led down a path that is complicated or strange.
I tend to use it in the context of a temporary Special interest or Hyperfixation.

The Sims
In The Sims 3 and The Sims 4, rabbit holes are buildings that Sims can enter but that the player cannot see inside. May display text adventure style prompts. For example, the underground tunnel system in Werewolves, or most career options in TS3.
