š§ Surviving Americaās Weirdest Attraction - The Eureka Room

We Experienced The Eureka Room⦠and We're Still Slightly Confused
Imagine a room that talks to you, cheers you on, and rewards you for hugging a stranger or pretending to be spaghetti. Thatās just a taste of what youāll find at The Eureka Room in Austin, Texas, one of the most delightfully bizarre and unexpectedly joyful attractions weāve ever visited.
Itās not quite a museum. Itās not a game either. It feels more like stepping into a surreal group experience hosted by your most enthusiastic friend on a sugar rush. Youāll laugh, move, cheer, and maybe even question reality all in the name of immersive fun.
Is it art? Is it silliness? Is it genius? Honestly⦠maybe all three. But one thingās for sure, itās a one-of-a-kind adventure youāll be talking about long after you leave.
š„ See how we fared inside The Eureka Room⦠watch the full chaos unfold now on our YouTube channel and let us know: would you make it out with your sanity?

āļø Coming Soon: Adventures in Florida

Florida Filming: Backyard Social & Sneak Peeks at What's Coming
We recently wrapped up an exciting filming trip across Florida, capturing some of the state's most innovative and fun-filled attractions for our upcoming videos. One standout stop was Backyard Social in Fort Myers, a vibrant indoor-outdoor venue that perfectly blends games, food, and live entertainment. With offerings like duckpin bowling, shuffleboard, and a variety of food trucks, it's a must-visit spot for groups and families alike.
But the fun doesn't stop there. We also got exclusive previews of two upcoming attractions set to open soon: FastTrax and Do The Beach. While we're keeping the details under wraps for now, we can promise they're shaping up to be exciting additions to Florida's entertainment scene.
We also made a quick stop in New Jersey last month to film at an exciting new spotākeep an eye out for that video dropping very soon!
Stay tuned to our YouTube channel and Facebook page for these upcoming adventures and more!
