Mark as done to rate

Growing up, you always spent your spare quarters at the local Arcade Planet. But your sacred arcade is locking its doors for the final time at midnight tonight, so you only have an hour to get all of the prizes you’ve been longing for! Including the “top tier, ultra rare” prize! Apparently the owner of the arcade made it a really difficult prize to get, but that’s not going to stop you! Can you win your way to being a local legend? Or will that prize go unearned in this final hour? This is your last chance!

Loved the incredible immersion with the set design, theme, music, and props. The puzzles fit so well for 80s nostalgia. Satisfying pop culture references and puzzles that clicked. Momentum slowed down at the end when there was a lack of an obvious way forward, but the hint system was super cool when we got stuck! Overall, solid, memorable room.

The room felt like you stepped into a childhood arcade back in the 80s/90s. Very nostalgic yet still enjoyable for those that might not understand all the various Easter eggs. Great use of space and puzzle complexity.

Such a fun room. Loved the music, the puzzles, and the atmosphere. The puzzles weren’t too hard. If you’ve played escapes I wouldn’t recommend more than 2 people in the room.

Overall a fun room. It def felt like an arcade. A bit disappointed in the GM; we often couldn’t hear their direction and when asking for her to repeat she didn’t respond multiple times.
