You're still figuring out this time traveling thing, so when your time device lands you in a dark old video arcade from at least 25 years ago, you're excited -- until you realize you're trapped here! Play your way through the games and challenges they contain to make it back to your own time.
This escape room is appropriate for tweens and up, but can be done by younger elementary students with family. Some clues require clicking on external links. If doing this on a mobile device, be sure to open there in a new tab so you don't lose your place in the escape room!

Hint: You might want scrap paper to write on as you work out the clues! Also, make sure to read everything closely so you don't miss important clues. For video clues, if you're playing on a desktop, you might wish to zoom in slightly to view videos.
