It’s 1998 and you have just started your new job at the coolest place in town, Blockbuster Video! It is only your first day but something has already gone terribly wrong. The new VHS arrivals to the store have gone missing! If they aren’t on the shelves by opening time, the store will get closed down! There is only one hour before the shop opens. Can you find the missing movies and save Blockbuster?

great hostingfamily friendly

Our first room in a while and it showed. A very nostalgic, well thought through and crafty game. Definately worth a visit for anyborn between 1975 and 1990 (and for anyone else of course) 🙂

Like a trip down memory lane - loved all of the nods to Blockbuster processes, the jingles, the types of film you could rent etc. Some really clever and tricky puzzles within this one that gave some great aha moments throughout. One (arguably two) puzzles towards the game required external knowledge which felt unfair if you're either of a certain age or not a fan of the required area (luckily we knew it but felt a bit out of place). Otherwise, another excellent game from Cluetopia!

immersive

Excellent theming made this room feel quite nostalgic (for those who remember trips to Blockbuster)! Good, fun room, but for me, none of the puzzles particularly stood out meaning that the room was leaning heavily on the theming to make it an enjoyable experience.
