The "Operation Flashback, in pursuit of the Doc" scenario

The Doc has disappeared. A time rift has opened. And your teams are the only ones who can restore order to the past.
"Houston, we've got a problem... the Doc got lost in the 90s."
His last location? A still-warm Walkman, a reset Tamagotchi, a lit Game Boy.... which is contained in a time capsule (a vintage fanny pack).
According to Marteen, his whimsical sidekick who has returned from a space-time vortex, the rift could swallow up all the pop culture of the 80s and 90s if we don't stop it in time.

The pitch

Your teams have 90 minutes to pick up the pieces of this cult era and reconstruct the precise moment of the Doc's disappearance.
How do they do it? By taking on a series of fun, delirious and collaborative challenges, packed with vintage references and orchestrated by an animator in role, who will accompany you throughout the mission.

Course of the experience

1. Welcome & setting the mood

Participants are greeted by Marteen, Marty's female alter ego, fresh from the past with her fanny pack and offbeat lines (Cool, Raoul!)
She activates the time rift by plunging the teams into an immersive quiz, a special 80/90s music blind test and a boys band choreography battle for the most daring.
The aim is to set the mood, trigger memories and align the frequencies of time.

2. Setting up the time transponders

Each team sets up their transponder ( = their smartphone) to receive mission instructions, decipher clues and follow the progress of the game.

3. 90 minutes of retro adventure

through a series of challenges and enigmas, teams progress from stage to stage with the help of iconic objects, cultural memorabilia and a dash of collective daring.

Pop culture riddles and challenges

Reconstruct cult lines from Forrest Gump, Sister Act or The Fifth Element
Pop culture challenges: find a brand from a vintage slogan or a jingle (T'as craché dans ton yop or Fido Dido, does that ring a bell?), re-enact cult scenes.
Use cult objects such as a Tamagotchi, an audio cassette (rewind it with a pen), a Minitel or a Game Boy to unlock the next stage.
Decipher UV messages, decipher messages hidden in an old TV guide.
Choreographic battles, cassette blind tests, playing a Nirvana intro... on a Walkman (yes, you can learn to do that)..

4. Final & debrief

The most responsive teams reach the truth before the rift closes.
Photo finish, vintage trophy, and debrief with Marteen to close the time loop... and hope she's brought the Doc home!
