Mark as done to rate

It’s a Friday night in 1990 something, and you’re getting ready for a totally stellar weekend. You and your closest pals ordered a couple of pizzas, just finished watching TGIF. Everything is pretty radical — until you realize you forgot to return your VHS rental, again! At this point, the video store is closed for the night. You start buggin’ because if you get any more late fees, you’re gonna be majorly grounded. That means you'll totally miss the Sadie Hawkins dance next weekend and your biggest crush will be dancing with someone else! As if! ​Where did you even put that video tape……you asked your sister and she said “talk to the hand” You and your friends come together and are determined to get that tape back BEFORE it's late. Step one, locate the tape. Step two... Break into the video store and return the tape! Step three? DON’T GET CAUGHT! You only have a single hour to make it back before your folks catch you! Booyah! Okay home skillet, what are ya waiting for?! Can you navigate the nostalgia and get the video returned in time, or will your blast from the past be a big LAME - O!

After nearly 300 rooms played all over the US, Boxed In has the best designed rooms of any small town we have played in. The set design of a 90s bedroom and video store was on point. Not all the puzzles hit it out of the park, but overall most of the puzzles, the flow, the nostalgia, and the set design made for a fantastically enjoyable game. We just wished they’d take the team photos in the rooms like so many other venues do these days.

This room was so much fun. Everything flowed well, and there were many easter eggs throughout the game. We got tripped up on some easy puzzles that made us laugh when we realized our mistake, but we made it in the nick of time. Millennials will enjoy this room a lot! Younger kids will miss out on the subtle references and may have difficulty with some puzzles, but this one is a must-do for millennials! Every puzzle flowed nicely, as with all of the games at Boxed In, and I will remember this room for years to come.
