Another highly immersive game designed by the team at Riddlr. Step back in time to 1986 - Face a snarky Zoltar machine -  Direct Pac Man through a maze - Answer the Troll's riddles in Zork - all this and more in a beautifully presented room with a great 80's themed soundtrack. Can you and your team race through this gratuitous eighties-fest and escape back to the present day?

Creative, nostalgic and fun - superb hosts and a fun selection of games. Definitely a challenge for two players but great support from the team!

A slow start from us, but a very enjoyable run. Clever puzzles and theming, we had good fun!

I can only imagine how disappointing it is for the creator of this one, who probably thought they'd found a clever little atmospheric addition to their room, to be told repeatedly in reviews that it dates from the mid-90's. 😀 It does add to the authenticity of it smelling like a teenage bedroom though, so while a bit potent, I appreciate the effort. 

My Husband and I disagreed on this one, I quite enjoyed it, he wasn't quite so keen. He found a couple of the puzzles quite frustrating and the music a bit too loud. I on the other hand quite enjoyed bopping around to the soundtrack and spotting all the 80's references. Some of the puzzles require a bit of a leap in logic, it's not the easiest room we've ever played but we did get to the end of it.

I wish this was a 90 minute room, simply so I could have had more time to enjoy the space. This game was challenging but I loved every minute spent in it. Best game in Bristol? I think so.
