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?

Absolutely loved the 90s feel and atmosphere of this one. The props and puzzles were very clever, and solving them felt satisfying. Our game master, Charlie, was amiable, engaging, and helpful.

Really fun room! Lots of puzzles of varying difficulties. Playable with children. Some outside knowledge might help you solve some puzzles, but not necessary.

Attempted with 2 players, very experienced. There are so many puzzles that 4 is a better number to attack this one with.

We throughly enjoyed this 90s themed room, not just for the nostalgia, but we liked the puzzles and flow. The decor and set were really good, too. The only reason I don’t give it a ❤️ is because of things with the overall experience of Quicksand (there is nothing to take notes on, the locks are hard to read and use, they don’t take team photos in the room, etc). This game, however, was our favorite of theirs.

I loved the room itself with feeling like it was entering your family’s cabin. The puzzles were mixed with mechanical and high tech which were super fun to do! There was only 2 of us and I have to say it made it seem like we were on a time crunch based on how many puzzles there were. The room is linear which helped us as a team of two. We had a few issues along the way such as our GM randomly came into the room to check on something then left which left us confused. Then the last puzzle which is what we needed to “win” the game didn’t work so there wasn’t a very anticlimactic ending. The GM didn’t help in that either because he (I didn’t get his name) said “it’s not working but you did win.” The tone just wasn’t very excited as it should be when you beat the room. The GM may have killed our vibe but we didn’t let that ruin our game experience! Still a fun room to do!

Good luck finding parking because there is no designated lot unless you pay. Have to find one somewhere on the street. I mean it is SD!

90s nostalgia! The puzzles are fun and themed well to the era. The theming in the first room is a bit sparse but once inside the cabins, it’s great!

There were a lot of puzzles but they were well designed and went pretty fast. Good beginner room, I would recommend 3 more experienced players. A couple puzzles malfunctioned when we played but it didn’t take away from the game play.

A fun room with great props! I escaped with four other novice players and we escaped with 8.5 minutes remaining. I thought this was the easiest of the Quicksand rooms, but it was still just as fun. Some challenging components and puzzles. Nothing scary
