90’s Nostalgic game set in Chicago, 1999. You just so happen to be a computer genius. A Federal Task Force was created to combat a new threat. They have contacted you with a secret mission; code-named “Operation Lights Out.” They have received a tip that a foreign entity has activated a sleeper cell handled by a computer emporium owner-turned-hacktavist, anti-capitalist sympathizer. The team has been collecting sensitive computer technologies and writing source code to exploit Y2K protocols put in place to update and manage our national grid. You have been tasked with searching the computer emporium owner's office to help dismantle the team. Do you accept the mission? Will you uncover the players and stop them from shutting down the grid in time? Sneak into Jake’s Computer Emporium and become the secret agent that saves the year 2000!

I will be honest. I wasn't thrilled with my experience but it had nothing to do with the room, the GMs, or the puzzles. I really disliked the team I was playing with that day. It was put together by someone and none of knew each other until that day. One of the member of our group was really talented and rushed through every puzzle so I missed more than half of them and could never get them to explain what the puzzle was or what they did to solve it. Eventually, I just sort faded into the background and watched them solve the rest of the room. The story was strong and I was really intrigued by the premise. The set looked amazing and it was a real blast from the past. I can tell you that if you grew up in the 80s then you will probably love the room. I have no idea how to classify the puzzles. There were a good amount of them and they seemed to go through them fairly quickly. We escaped! Sarcastic huzzah!!

The room was incredible with so many things to check out…however, a little overwhelming with the volume of things that could have been clues, but were just decorative theme items.

Gameplay

This room didn’t seem to have much flow. A LOT going on in the room with the totally dope 90s vibe!

Atmosphere

Props were wild. It was a throwback to high school - a rewind to the past! Struggle to stay on task due checking out all the cool things!

Customer service

Jared was very helpful! Great GM!

Transported back to the 90s and it was amazing. Good flow and amazing working props to fit the room. Don't get too distracted through from the task at hand.

Fun twist on a y2k room. Great 90s props that can easily distract you from the task at hand
