After losing a bet at a crazy party with the erratic Doc Rick, you and your friends have woken up in an old school arcade. However, one thing you didn’t bet on was the Doc using his timewarp to send you back to the real thing. It’s 1985, and you have one hour to beat the Doc’s games or you’ll be wearing shoulder pads, leg warmers and fingerless gloves for the foreseeable future...

The room was nicely designed, satisfyingly tricky and almost beat us.
It was fun to go back to an 80s-90s arcade vibe. I've marked broken tech - it wasn't exactly broken, but one puzzle was clearly a little faulty - we wasted several minutes on it when we had done things correctly but the connection was not being made.

One of the puzzles in this room was broken, but the GM didn't warn us, meaning that we had to work it out for ourselves. I found the puzzles in this room felt disconnected, meaning that it didn't really feel like a story or "flow", just solving a number of random, disconnected challenges.

An excellent retro vibe in here with all of the neon glory of an eighties arcade. Nice puzzles, great theming and an all-round funky time... we just wish there was more of it!

Another great game, we loved this room, perhaps partly due to our ages and a rose tinted view of the 1980s? Great fun for all ages and just a bit different. However we are not pinball wizards!
