Mark as done to rate

You spent nearly every school break in the 90s at your family’s cabin. When you weren't fishing, skiing, or raising your Tamagotchi, you and your cousins were playing Nintendo. After reading that a copy of your family's go-to Nintendo game just sold for nearly a Bitcoin, you realize the family's copy of the game should still be at the cabin. Unfortunately, your cousins realized the same thing too. Now it's a race to claim the cartridge! Will you get there first or will your efforts be as worthless as a Beanie Baby?

Cute theme, fun puzzles with a sense of humor. Lots of puzzles and lots of locks but no one puzzle was especially hard. Has some wear and tear but over nostalgic and entertaining. Our GM was super nice and gave us a bit of extra time (which was especially generous because we were late due to traffic). Definitely recommend!

Gameplay

Nice flow. Many locks. Cute and funny! Pretty linear. Lots of puzzles which lent to its more difficult rating.

Atmosphere

Cute 90s vibe

Customer service

We had trouble with parking and arrived a little late. They were very accommodating!

This was probably my favorite room I’ve ever done. Loved the cabin vibe, and the 90s element only added to the fun. There were a lot of unique puzzles and exciting surprises.

My favorite room at Quicksand! The puzzles in here are definitely a highlight. Solid, well themed and just the right amount of clueing. The story made sense, and the progression was great! One minor tech issue, but overall a smooth puzzle room.

So much nostalgia! Lots of unique puzzles. Did the room with two people which worked well, maybe go with up to six people.

What a nostalgic room. I have not had the chance to do all of Quicksand’s games yet but this might be my favorite one in this location. They had clever puzzles and the 90s references hit a sweet spot. Our game master also gave us pointers of where to take our group photo! Would recommend this room to tap into your inner child. While this experience is not a TERPECA winner, it wins a star in my books. Parking in this location could be quite difficult because there is no designated lot and you would have to find street parking.

Super fun nostalgia room! Puzzles had a lot of unique things and it flowed nicely. It was a tough room for 2 people but still doable! First time doing a room at quicksand but would go back for their other rooms. Game master was awesome!

Fun room with lots of clever puzzles!. The story line was nothing special, but the theme was very cute and nostalgic. Only complaints were: 1. Some parts were very word down, and there were a few instances where we got the answers but had operate multiple times to trigger the sensor; 2. The room was big with many puzzles but it was super linear, so getting stuck on even just one puzzle can significant drag the progress.

Very cool concept, but definitely a little worn down and dare I say a bit dingy. Could use a little love, but the idea was great and it was really fun! Great puzzles, would definitely recommend!
