A small yet unique and engaging room with excellent staff.
The first half has mostly interesting and logical puzzles (except for one illogical one involving movies) and the transition to the 2nd room was really surprising and fun, but the entire 2nd room fell flat for us in terms of quality & the puzzles became illogical.
It should be emphasised that YOU DO NOT GET TO PLAY WITH ANY OF THE ARCADE MACHINES, with only one exception - a pinball machine with no flippers, leading to "launch" randomness (a staff member told us he once saw a group get stuck on that for 20 minutes before walking out).
There is one small jump-scare as a loud bang has a puzzle item fall from the ceiling, so mind your head in the 2nd room!

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!

illogicalbroken tech
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.
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.
