Asterisk 1.2.13

I am trying to figure out the best way for a night bell at work.
Note: I have no spare buttons available on the phones. But I do have two lines 
and two park positions as buttons.

Option 1 (easiest and the one I just implemented)
        When asterisk is in night mode,
        Connect to IVR,
        List all options and then if they dial 0 or timeout, ring every phone 
in the building.

Option 2 (This would require user training)
        When asterisk is in night mode,
        List all options and then if they dial 0 or timeout, ring an analog 
ringer and have a pickup code to grab the line.
        I am not sure that I can even do directed pickup on asterisk 1.2.13

Option 3 (I believe this is best, but am not sure where to start)
        When asterisk is in night mode,
        List all options and then if they dial 0 or timeout, park the call, 
then overhead page a record stating that there
                is a call that needs to be picked up on line 5401.
        They already have a button (with BLF) for 5401.

How are others handling night calls when there is no receptionist available.



Thank You,
