The Eureka Room

A World of Absurdist Play

The Eureka Room is a unique, 100-square-foot immersive experience in Austin designed to connect people through playful absurdity. Created by IRL experience designer Mike Michaels, this cozy, light-filled space is packed with homemade installations that engage the senses with lights, sounds, and video-led games.

Interactive Fun for All

Designed for groups of 6-8, the experience encourages strangers and friends alike to interact through a series of short, high-energy activities. Participants engage in playful prompts, high-fiving, and two-handed table games, fostering laughter, collaboration, and a sense of shared silliness. The goal is to spark joy and connection in a low-key yet high-energy environment, leaving visitors feeling like kids again.

The Austin Vibe Embodied

Often described as "indescribable" and "wholly unique," The Eureka Room perfectly captures Austin's offbeat spirit. It's a place where obsession with fun trumps optimization, offering a memorable escape that's as creative as it is delightfully confusing. The less you know beforehand, the more surprising and enjoyable the experience becomes.
