The Source Material

MBMBaM Episode 674 (August 21, 2023) — Justin, Travis, and Griffin McElroy spend 54 minutes and 19 seconds uninterrupted designing a 10-room rave hidden inside a Container Store. It is the single most ambitious business idea of all time.

"I only want to talk about this."
— Griffin McElroy, moments before the longest bit in podcast history

The Game

You are a rave patron inside the Container Store. You dance. You generate Vibe. You progress through 10 rooms of escalating absurdity, from the retail floor to the Candy King's throne room.

Each room affects your Pressure and Pulse differently. Finding the right room for your current state is the key to optimal vibes. Don't ascend too quickly — that's hubris.

Principles

• Free. No ads. No microtransactions.
• Humor first — mechanics serve jokes.
• Accessible to non-listeners, richer for fans.
• PLUR: Peace, Love, Unity, Respect.
