Polybius is a supposed arcade cabinet, probably released in 1981. Apparently, this game was made by the government in order to conduct experiments on whoever played the game, by showing psychoactive visuals, which could induce seizures, insomnia, hallucinations, and many other symptoms, to the point of creating addiction. One month after its release it vanished from the arcades, without leaving any trace behind. You can expect that this is just a leg….. Welcome to the future of software. Welcome to SINNESLOSCHEN. We guarantee you will like us.

Our local escape room has a room based on Polybius. It's a pretty fun one.
