About the game

A deep dive into the best decade of the second half of the 20th century.

The 80s Game is built with one purpose: bring back those sweet memories. The mission? Super Mario's music has gone missing — and your clients' teams have to recover it.

Characteristics

How it plays: Teams work through four themed rounds — News, Music, Play, and Style — armed with a six-page magazine packed with period detail. The magazine holds the answers to original riddles and puzzles; every completed category earns clues that bring Mario's music closer.

Delivery details: 1–1.5 hours depending on the group. One facilitator handles up to 60 participants with no equipment beyond the printed magazines. Minimum 5 players, practically no upper limit.

Why operators love it: Pure nostalgia sells itself — an easy-to-follow, laughter-heavy format with the lightest logistics footprint in the catalog: paper.
