Spoilers - The Eureka Room

To maximize your fun at The Eureka Room, only view the spoilers which you really must know. For more general questions, please see the FAQ.

What are these experiences you keep talking about?

Each visit to The Eureka Room consists of multiple experiences which last 10-20 minutes each.

Some of them you just sit back and relax and watch the colors and listen to the sounds.

Some of them are similar to games.

Some of them are absurd videos that invite you to do things like point, yell, and high five for unclear reasons.

That last kind is the best kind.

What do you mean when you say it’s “participatory”?

Mostly it means shouting, pointing at things, and high fiving people based on instructions from the program.

Do I have to participate?

The Eureka Room is built around the idea of participation. It just doesn’t work if you don’t participate.

If you or the people you are thinking about visiting with do not like participation (especially of the playful variety), please please please do not visit. You will hate it.

What does it feel like to participate in these experiences?

Words that have been used to describe the room include “absurd”, “lighthearted”, “playful”, “weird”, “interactive”, "exciting", "joyful", "high energy", and probably most often, “fun”.

Do I have to share my feelings and hug strangers?

No. It’s not like that. Ick.

Will there be strangers?

It depends.

If you buy a private group ticket, then it's just you and the group you bring.

For smaller groups I sell mixed group tickets, which means I combine your group with others until we get about 5-6 people. I think the mixed group is way more fun because you get to meet other people who are interested in things like The Eureka Room.

How big is The Eureka Room?

The Eureka Room is in a small house. The room itself is about 100 square feet. Up to 10 people can stand comfortably in the room and enjoy their experience.

How high tech is The Eureka Room?

The Eureka Room is not about being super high tech. Yes it has 20,000+ LEDs behind its screens and is very immersive, but the main reason people come here is to have fun with other people, not be impressed by the technology or visuals. If your only interest is in being wowed by tech, this is probably not where you need to be.

Is it like Meow Wolf?

The Eureka Room appeals to fans of Meow Wolf, but is different in important ways. First, it is boutique - just one 100 square foot room for 4-10 people. Second, it is designed to be participatory and connect visitors in absurd fun activities.
