The year is 1997. You and your friends have a pocket full of quarters and plans to visit The Morris Arcade. Rumor has it, their newest game Pik: The Lock is out of this world. Unfortunately for you the rumors are true, in more ways than one... The year is 1997. You and your friends have a pocket full of quarters and plans to visit The Morris Arcade.

I can't express how much I loved this room!! Such a fun idea. Each section was brilliantly designed, both in atmosphere and puzzles.

Gameplay

Gameplay was very fun. The first room had some interesting and unique puzzles incorporating the arcade cabinets (including an actual video game as part of unlocking the next room!) There was one puzzle in the next room that took us all a while to figure out the mechanics of it, 'cause it wasn't clear with exactly how long it was supposed to last for.

Atmosphere

The 90's arcade atmosphere in the first room was AMAZING. The second room was a bit of a shock in comparison, but was still pretty cool to see. The last room had a singular puzzle to it, so it didn't necessarily feel like another 'room', but more of like an extension to the second larger one.

Customer service

Very, very welcoming!

Particularly interesting or different

Yes

The first section with the mini arcade was the best part in my opinion.

Story

Cute! You're tasked to help a little arcade game character expell a virus, but things go a little haywire!

Difficulty

Medium

Some puzzles were pretty easy to figure out, and others weren't.

Scary

Not scary

Wouldn't say scary. Might be a little frightening to younger kids.

Minimum age

18

You could bring younger kids, but it might make for a frustrating experience when figuring out puzzles and needing to coordinate who's going to do what, with a risk of not escaping in time.

Was anything broken?

No

Has been reporting occassional issues, but our group didn't experience any.

Live actors

No

Physically active

Somewhat

There's some running around involved (red light/green light style), and stepping on stuff on the ground.

Accessibility

Could be accomodating for physically diabled folks. I don't think hearing impairments would be a problem, as when the character talks, there's closed captioning on screens as well. There's *one* sound puzzle that could be a challenge for those who are hearing impared.

Easy to find location

Yes

Parking

Easy

Parking lot available.
