The level of commitment here is astounding! Love how nerdy this kept getting. The games themselves, then the organization method, then the hidden door, then hidden sensors for escape rooms, then sports pendants….never change. This is my inspiration.
Wow Daniel that's saying a lot! Thanks! I didn't even show off where I originaly planned to put a fireman pole to zip down to the game room and have it play mario pole sounds when you get to the bottom. But the legal aspect moving the fire sprinklers became too much!
My dream finished basement has a hidden room. That looks incredible!
That was Mission Impossible, not James Bond btw.
Yes that’s what I meant :)
There’s like 1% ego here and 99% just being a legendary friend and host. Any jealousy I may feel is reserved for the family and friends who are lucky enough to have this person in their lives. If any of my watches have even contributed 1 cent to this, I’m glad. Some people create the world as it should be and this is a beautiful example.
Wow! Joshua! That was a beautiful comment and thanks to your thoughts here! Thanks for watching my videos and your outlook on this specific video!
Awesome! You get a delivery you didn’t order. Delivery person says excuse me.. goes down stairs and delivers the food to someone living in the hidden theater. Straight out of an Adam Sandler movie.
Clearly the delibirate easter egg was calling the mission impossible theme james bond.... Amazing set up Dan
Thanks dyfed!
You built a room for social gathering during a pandemic that seemed to never end. That takes guts. And I believe you have achieved peak jealousy from everyone in the entire board game community.😂
I almost had forgotten about that! Yes I actually moved in July of 2000 right in the middle of the pandemic and spent the first year building it out. Only just recently really able to enjoy it!
This is incredible, as a home automation geek I am absolutely in love with your escape room/game room that is also a game. So cool that you’ve made your shelves and play space so inclusive and welcoming as well. Thanks for sharing!!!
Thanks for watching and enjoying the automaton!
Absolutely in awe. What an incredible room you have built. Thank you so much for showing it to us!
I’m glad you enjoyed it!
Fascinating!!!! Yes, please go through your shelves!!! Thank you for sharing!
Hi Doug! I hope to some day!
Questions for the game room:
1) Where's the Gameboy Geek phone, pole, costume and Geekmobile hidden?
2) How does it feel to be be the envy of every other board game reviewer?
3) Has Oss Equis reached out to you yet for the next "Most Interesting Man in the World" commercial yet?
In all honesty Dan, thanks for the tour. Loved seeing all the hard work and dedication you put in to making this truly remarkable room.
Ha Matt! 1. Actually I had a fireman pole planned and it would play the Mario Bros sound when he slides down the flag pole at the end of the level, but there are fire sprinklers in that part of the roof that would have to be moved so it makes it challenging :) 2. I don't think I'm the envy of anyone :) 3. Not yet, but I'm open to hear :)
HOLY SMOKES! That was awesome! Blown away.
Thanks Rob!
Wow. Just wow. That is outstanding!
Thanks! I’m glad you enjoyed it!
Great setup. Thanks for sharing!
Glad you edited it Ulf!
Wow! Your game is half the size of my entire house. I'm pretty jealous right now.
Awesome. Thanks for sharing Dan!!
You’re welcome! I’m glad you enjoyed the tour!
thanks for sharing, it looks great!
Thanks Josh! I’m glad you enjoyed!
Always amazed every time I get to play there. Great walkthrough!
Cool Brett that you get to experience in person!
So cool. Love the hidden room. Amazing stuff.
Thanks!
Wow, what a fantastic room! Surely a dream for every board gamer :) I love that you categorized your games.
Thanks Christina! It took me a while to figure out how I wanted them organized but I felt that made the most sense and wanted it to feel like a Game cafe!
I’m in love with this room. Great job Dan!
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed the video!
Wow. Just wow! So cool! So jealous! 😲
Glad you enjoyed it!
WOW!!!! That is all... just WOW!!!!
Thanks Gaz!
Absolutely brilliant. I've been looking for an idea for a door to the game room we have in our shop. I''d been looking in to a barn door but didn't want to lose the space of the door and near the door and the swinging hidden door bookcases are set sizes. Thanks for showing everyone such a fantastic alternative.
Michael, yes originally I was going to get a normal swinging Hidden door but they all took up too much room when opened so I came up with this crazy idea!
YES, Billy!!! For all the reasons you mentioned!!
We seem t to be in the minority but I doing understand why :)
What a fantastic basement. Wow it’s so big!!! You did a spectacular job of making it a beautiful room with tons of flexibility. I love the ability to make it a space for more than just games. The music corner, sports bar, movie theater and dance floor are simply stunning.
So much room for activities!!!
Thanks Matthew I’m glad you enjoyed it!
Amazing, Dan!!!
Thanks Jonathan!
Amazing! Thanks for this :)
You’re welcome Andrew!
Just wow! amazing!
Glad you enjoyed it Emmanuel!
Fun tour! Thanks for sharing. I use similar shelves I get at Target. I like the organizational style.
Thanks Larry!
I love this! I also agree with the lean towards displaying the game box “faces” out. I don’t have near as much space (not even close 😂!), but my ideal would be showing the art as much as possible and clearly see what I could play.
Glad you like the boxes facing out too Carmel!
So jealous- thanks for sharing. If I lived closer I definitely come visit. I am Utah- all the best. That annex wow that is so epic.
Thanks Nathan!
Winner of the best game room I have seen! Great job. Thanks for the tour
Thanks Scott! I still pinch myself every time I walk down there! It’s surreal to me! I’ve been playing games a ton since I was a child! This if my destiny!
Loved the tour Dan! Hope to be able to visit and play a game there one day! Happy gaming!
Glad you enjoyed it Kevin!
Sweet..... Nice work getting that done. Thanks for sharing and inspiring =)
Thanks for watching Barry!
What an amazing space!
Thanks Jason!
This is incredible! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks Mister Jeeves!
That's a CRAZY space and unbelievably cool! I do have Kallax for my big box games - I display box fronts for looks like you do, but then have the depth to store games behind them. Kinda sneaky but I can shelve way more games this way. I also have custom shelves for smaller box games. And I have a small table for gaming, but def no sports bar, disco/nightclub, hidden room theater etc. 😄
That’s cool Virginia! I also store since games behind the other ones too :) for example all the different Kingdomino games and such. It’s a sneaky trick!
Mind Blown !!!!
Ha! Cool Gato!
Incredible. Thanks for sharing Dan! Your basement is one of the coolest I’ve ever seen.
Thanks Kirk! Goblin Vaults is in there!
@@TheGameBoyGeeks You're welcome. Oh I missed that the first time - I'll have to look closely to find it. :) I did see Cartographers.
@@Kirk-Dennison Well in fairness it probably didn't make it on camera as it was on the smaller shelves behind the bar in the review queue. But I wanted you to know it's down there!
Awesome 👏 !!
Thanks Jennifer!
Super cool! This is the basement of my dreams. Amazing job 👏
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!
So cool!
Thanks Fab!
Amazing room Dan. Very inspirational. I would want to go there just to meditate and play games all day. My favorite part was the bar. I think you should film more of your videos just from that bar. Also, you gave me a great gift idea with that Mario Kart game for my daughter. Anyway, congrats on the room!
Glad you enjoyed it! Last year all my Top 100 games of so time videos were done sitting right in front of the bar and next year we hope to do those again this time with Greg’s top 100!
Cool room! Whoa that extra room was bigger on the inside. Thank you for mentioning the bookcase names as I have been wondering for a couple of years where they come from. Interesting choice between the Billy and the Kallax. I have a few games that are too big to fit into that one-size space so I might do a hybrid with two ends with Billy and Kallax in the middle.
Yup billys are the way to go! Less talked about but the best in my opinion
Woah this room is amazing. The sliding book shelf is so clever!
Thanks! Glad you liked it!
Amazing room Dan. Awesome collection. I would love to stop by and play board games if I ever go that way. Love the video game stuff. My brother and I grew up playing Mario Brothers and Pac-Man in the 90s. Now my kids love playing those video games.
That’s cool Laura! Glad you enjoyed it!
Great setup! And great presentation. I thought I would just watch a little and click away but I was hooked for the whole thing. Well done.
Cool! Glad it kept your interest!
That's an amazing space, well done.
Thanks Kevin!
thank you for the tour! ;-)
Glad you enjoyed it John!
Great room and I love the way you display your games. Its great to see all the excellent box art👍
Thanks Baz! Many people actually give me crap for the way I display them and tell me I could fit way more. BUt I don't want more! I actually want less :)
@@TheGameBoyGeeks Completely agree👍
wow, just wow!
Glad you enjoyed it!
This is amazing! I had no idea how much I wanted something like this =D
Ha! Cool David! Thanks for watching!
Amazing, nicely done man!
Thanks Sevos!
This is the most beautiful game room I have ever seen! 🤩 I wish I could have a game room like this someday!
Thanks Rich!
Simply amazing!
Thanks Stephen!
That is top notch. Awesome room ...something to be proud of. Great vid😃
Thanks Gavin!
Pretty cool. I would definetly participate in a game night there. Great stuff.
Glad you enjoyed it Tore!
You are living the dream!
Thanks Rob!
Wow, what a feel good room!!! I would love to come over and play some games 🃏 🎉😊
Glad you enjoyed it Simo!
WOW what an awesome setup! You have a new subscriber!
Thanks Phil!
Amazing.
Thanks Chris!
This is simply amazing!
Thanks Paulo!
That is a dream basement. Well done!!
Thanks Kyle!
Wow!!! I like my game room. It's also in the basement I have three 5x5 Kallax (I like how deep they are), two 1x4, two 2x3, one DVD shelf and I dvd shelf for the tiny epic games that pivot and is double sided for the small games. There is a table that easily sits 6 and enough room to bring one more table. But 10 people is probably my limit. I envy your room capacity. Looks amazing!
Wow that sounds like a great setup! Sounds like your probably have a ton of games with all those shelves too!
This is truly a dream, my word!
Glad you enjoyed the tour !
Hah, this is amazing! The house we bought recently actually has a full barn that used to be an old owners masonry workspace. It's going to take a lot of work, and probably the kids to get older, but I've got some similar goals to this, hah. Must feel amazing to have a space like this to share with people.
Oh that's cool Tyler! I hope you convert that space! It's definitely really fun to share this space and have mini conventions here!
This room is really cool!
Thanks Paul!
Super dope
Thanks Jonathan!
"Daddy can we buy this 1?" Way to fool the kids ... Well Done ✔
Yeah that was one of the funniest moments down there so far!
@@TheGameBoyGeeks I can see it now, I'd be rolling on the table topper!
I’m always amazed how big American houses can be. If that’s your basement the mind truly boggles. Looks great.
Thanks Patrick!
I've got that game room sign! Also, I'm in Arizona as well (Peoria) and I'm super jealous you have a basement. What an amazing room.
Oh cool Sahwn! I got my sign at Hobby Lobby. You too?
@@TheGameBoyGeeks Yep - that's the only place I've seen it!
Looks amazing. I want one.
Do it!
That is NOT a game room that is a dream room!! WOWOWOWOWOW Amazing!!! Absolutely stunning!
Thanks!
Wow! Very cool. You got a new subscriber from this one. Looks like you have an amazing channel here (big board game fan) and looking forward to checking the rest of it out.
Cool thanks Mark! I’m glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for subscribing!
Omg i love it, that is so awesome 😀
In all the years I've been watching you i honostly thought it was a board game cafe in the background 🤣
Oh that’s funny! Well it is! It’s just my personal cafe :)
Absolutely incredible, you can tell how much thought was put into the design! Hope to have a man cave someday! Thanks for sharing
Glad you enjoyed it Steven!
This is truly a dream game room.
Thanks Adrian!
Fun stuff!!!
Fun is my middle name :)
that hidden room is awesome
Thanks Frank!
That basement is incredible!
Thanks Stephen!
maaaan Im so jealous !
Awesome game room Dan!
p.s. hit those shelves with a swiffer 😜
Ha! Yes they need some dusting
Your basement is bigger than my house, the amount of space American homes take up is crazy. I do wish Australian homes had the same philosophy in that regard.
Glad you enjoyed the tour!
I'm most impressed with the fortitude you have to be able to continue to cull games and maintain a stable sized collection. I haven't been able to master this 😭
It’s still a hard process! And I’ve certainly gotten rid of things I wish I hadn’t. But usually it goes to my Game group so if I get an itch to play it, usually it’s not far away!
You win!
Wow, finally get to see your game room, is Stella better than Keepers? Thank you for sharing Dan! We need to go visit you :) Very inspiring.
Glad you liked it Lily! Good question! They are similar games, but still have a different feel due to the strategy. If you like that style of game you'll probably like both. Maybe the difference between photos / art would push you one way or the other. Keepers has a more "gamery" feel with ways of doing the opposite, but is still approachable, where Stella is the best of the Dixit series.
Thanks Dan, love your hidden room, showed your video to friends and family, good job Dan!
Ok, now I have all the motivation to renew my basement :))
Do it!!!!
😳 😮Beautiful
Thanks Forrest!
Great game room! My wife and I moved into our home at the start of the pandemic... My must-have was a finished basement for entertaining and gaming. It's nearly done now with only some finishing touches left to complete (Art, decorate & one last Kallax (sorry!))
Good for you! Except the Kallx lol!
Love the games room and the arrangement, if you have the space i would love to have them show the box at vs stacking them... It just pulled the non gamers in... Also love the categorisation... Love the room is awesome!
Thanks Nitesh!
I LOVE THIS!! How many games are in there? Never mind, I listened to the entire thing now. lol
Not that many! Less than most of my friends (trying to make it seem normal) lol
Awesome game room. I'm also in AZ, and as you pointed out, few homes here have basements. I've had to settle for a "flex space" in my home for my gaming room. I'm about 300+ games, but now out of space and not enough room for more shelves. If you're ever looking for another games for a board game night from a local, I'm on board for it.
That’s cool David! Your flex space sounds awesome too! What part of the valley do you live in?
@@TheGameBoyGeeks I'm in North Scottsdale, over in the Troon area.
I like the music in James Bond where Tom Cruise falls from the ceiling and almost hits the floor.
Was a brain fart! I had to program the word Mission_Impossible into my shortcut a million times during testing, but had a microsecond of misremembering during the video!
Great gaming room Dan. I noticed that your secret room actually plays the Mission Impossible theme and not the James Bond one. 🤓
Yup! I programmed the name mission_impossible a hundred times testing it out to get it to work correctly. Just a brain fart while thinking of too many things while filming
Looks sweet ! Nerds paradise. 🖖 😉
Thanks! Yes it is!
Thank you for sharing. Very cool! Do you find the top of your boxes get very dusty?
You're welcome! I think they get about as dusty as anything else on other shelves :)
Holy cow! Amazing! Heya Dan, how does one go about getting an invite to one of your game nights? 😅 I live in San Diego but I often go to AZ to visit the many friends I made living there while finishing grad school at ASU. I don't mean to invite myself! But wow my wife and I would love to game with you and other fellow geeks in that awesome space!
The invites are not public ones, but mostly to my game group, friends, family, and neighbors, but email me at dan@gameboygeek.com when you're coming in town and I'll let you know if one is happening then.
Store feel? I want to make an offer on your whole room! Lol
Ha! Nice one Kevin!
Wow! 1000% life goal to recreate this set up!
Ps - Where's Catan?!
I don't love Catan enought to have it here. It's important to the history of games, but too many games have done what that does better.
9:04 I was wondering where Turing Machine was since I didn't see it in the Deduction shelf, there it is!
Yup new arrivals!
