For years I poured my heart and soul into creating a video game; Retro Revenge, but no one wanted to play it. Instead, I was shunned, ridiculed, and scorned. So, I set up my basement and started making people play it. What a thrill to see the terror in their eyes, watching them tremble as they try to solve my devious puzzles. If they're smart enough to succeed, I return them to their mundane life. But for most, it is Game Over… forever. Now I am so famous that the press have given me a name - the Retro Killer! ... I see my new players have just woken up! Let the game begin...

Completed this room with 4 people just under the time limit. We did the “hard” version which was very fun as it challenged us to think more. We chose not to have a live actor as we don’t usually go for horror rooms, but it was creepy/spooky without being terrifying. We enjoyed the puzzles a lot - there were some very unique ones and many references to horror movies, so would be particularly fun for horror fans. We got stuck at the very beginning but once we got into the flow of things the pace picked up a bit and the puzzles felt pretty intuitive. Overall an enjoyable experience, would recommend, especially to horror lovers.

We liked having the option of doing this room in hard mode, which allowed us to use our intuition more than relying on too much clue guidance. As someone who is normally not a fan of spooky rooms I really enjoyed retro revenge. I loved all the references within the decor as well as the different games incorporated into puzzles. There was also a lot of creativity and novelty in the design of the puzzles, utilising some very simple things to create a unique experience that followed the theme. We also enjoyed how much there was to do making it feel like we got good value for money by challenging us to almost use the full hourm

We adored this room! Loved the creepy vibe and all the pop culture references and retro aesthetics that made clever use of the authentic old-school props. Great variety of puzzles too, ranging from traditional padlocks to mechanical, from low-tech to hi-tech. We opted for the "mild" version of the scary live actor but it still got us a couple of times! So much fun and a cool ending to boot — choose wisely!

Yes

The live actors managed to sneak up on us but tuned it down due to one of our members requesting it. Otherwise, they could’ve gotten us really good.

Retro Revenge is a love letter to many popular games and horror properties with great execution of theme and cool props. There were some great little theatrical moments that make it stand out.
