Will is joined by Meg and Jessica from Desperately Seeking the 80s. Will shares the unlikely, but true, story of Masquerade, the book that changed gaming.

In 1979, a seemingly innocuous picture book actually concealed clues to the location of a golden prize. Once the secret was out, it inspired a real-life treasure hunt, a decade-long scandal, and a genre of video games that followed.
