You spent nearly every school break in the 90s at your family’s cabin. When you weren't fishing, skiing, or raising your Tamagotchi, you and your cousins were playing Nintendo. After reading that a copy of your family's go-to Nintendo game just sold for nearly a Bitcoin, you realize the family's copy of the game should still be at the cabin. Unfortunately, your cousins realized the same thing too. Now it's a race to claim the cartridge! Will you get there first or will your efforts be as worthless as a Beanie Baby?

This was a fun Gen 2 room (mostly Gen 1). We were able to do it with 3 but maybe a 4th player would help because there’s a lot to do. The challenging part was figuring out what puzzle we were solving because there’s a lots of clues you find early on. I think this room would work better if it was non- linear.
Linear. A bit confusing what to work on with all the clues

We were a group of seven with various ages which was perfect for this room! Everyone brought some experience to this room. The nostalgia was great for those who experienced it, but still fun for the younger generation. This room was not elaborate or high tech but the puzzles were pretty fun and really clever.

FUN!!!!! is the best description of this room. The set is average, but the puzzles and nostalgia were wonderful. This room could handle a little bit larger group as there were multiple puzzles to work on at once. Getting to watch someone do the Macarena to solve a puzzle is priceless.
FUN!
The set is average, nothing spectacular, but not horrible.
Meghan was awesome and was the GM for the first 3 of the 4 games we played.

Our group of 3 got through quickly with no hints, but we didn’t feel like we wasted out time or money. It was fun and we were just killing it in this room.

Except for one small space that only requires a single player, it is very accessible for folks with mobility issues.

Street parking with meters. We played 4 games back to back and had to feed the meter periodically.

Room #200! Great way to ring in a big round number. Did it with the usual team and also had Jessica Penne hop in yet again. Quicksand is always great… they haven’t missed yet.

Super interesting room, found it tough to get going but once we got moving it flowed well. Lots of locks and lots of puzzles. Only thing I didn’t love is that it was super linear but a big space, it would’ve helped for multiple puzzles to be solved simultaneously. One puzzle IMO did not work as intended and slowed us way down for a reason I feel was not on us, but other than that everything made sense!

This was a very fun room with great puzzles and some nostalgic parts that added to the uniqueness. My only complaint was that when we asked for a hint, the game master, who wasn’t overly enthusiastic, led us straight to a clue without directing us to solve the puzzle that would’ve led us there. Overall great room.

One of my all time favs! Recommend this puzzle to anyone who lived through the 90's. I have never left a room so happy, as I have with this one. I am obviously biased because I grew up in the 90's. Bias aside, this room includes loads of unique and intuitive puzzles that fit seamlessly together. There is absolutely no deviation from the theme and it is as lighthearted as one could hope to experience. Also, nothing in the room requires preexisting knowledge. If you are in search of a pick-me-up room that doesn't feel stressful(and bonus if you lived through the 90's) then you should book this room. I left feeling as light-hearted as one could hope to feel after leaving a race against the clock. Lol. Classic room, 10/10... and btw, all of the rooms at quicksand are awesome.

Hard. Def bring at least 3 people. Good design, very interactive and fun. Lots of thinking and maybe I overthought a lot of clues.
