A fantastic 90s throwback featuring highly creative uses for 'retro' props. The sound design was a highlightβ€”the screech of a dial-up modem brought back a hilarious sense of tech-anxiety! We did have a minor immersion-break when a teammate accidentally removed a mounted item from the wall despite the rules. While it was our mistake and required a quick GM intervention, it might be worth 'gating' those elements behind a lock or a cabinet to prevent early or accidental interaction. The multi-linear structure is perfect for larger groups, as it introduces a fun sense of frantic energy, though it does mean some players might miss out on certain puzzle 'Aha!' moments while working elsewhere. Overall, a clever, nostalgic trip down memory lane

The story was okay but we were all here for the nostalgic feels, anyway.

The room certainly required more eyes to break down what puzzles required solving. It can be done with 4 comfortably but I think 5-6 gives everyone something to do. More players could be fun but it would be chaotic.

Found this room to be a little chaotic to start. Lots too do and discover. Fun with friends.

Great room with a lot of puzzles! We did it with 2 people and Sean was amazing to help us with the 4-people puzzle in the room. There is only one room but tons of puzzles in there, they are based in the 1999 which brings back memories. Some skill based puzzles make the room really unique and fun. Love it!

A really original room, clearly a passion project. A few interesting mechanics for experienced escape room goers. A couple of puzzles a little rough around the edges. Anyone who vibes 90s culture will enjoy :)
