We just pushed an update, here's what's new...

• Introducing #roomcodes - we've made it much easier to quickly get together in Rec Room! If you'd like to meet up, just share a #roomcode with everyone first. A #roomcode can be any text string (minimum 3, maximum 32 characters). For example, the following are all valid #roomcodes:
  

coach
kungfukenny
asdfafaf

• To use a #roomcode, just type it into the computer in the Dorm Room (you do NOT need to enter the #). If that #roomcode already exists, you'll join the room. If #roomcode doesn't exist yet, you'll create the room.
  

• Note that #roomcodes always take you to The Lounge (at least for now).
  
• Note that #roomcodes are not guaranteed to be private. Anyone who enters the same #roomcode (even if they guess it) will join the room. If you want to guarantee a private session, please create a Private Activity via the watch menu (free membership required).
  
• Here's an example of using a #roomcode. Players A, B and C want to meet up in Rec Room. A sends a text message to B and C: "Hey let's meet up. #pancakes". A, B and C boot up Rec Room and arrive in their Dorm Room. They use the computer to enter the #roomcode 'pancakes'. They all end up in The Lounge together. From there, they can party up and go play paintball, or hang out in The Lounge, or whatever they want to do.
  

In our testing, #roomcodes make it much quicker and simpler to get together in Rec Room. Please try it out and give us feedback! We can imagine all kinds of neat ways to expand on this system, but we want to hear from you first. Is this useful? Does it work the way you expect/want it to?

• The Lounge - The Lounge now has its own door in the Locker Room! We wanted to make more players aware of the The Lounge. If you try to enter as a guest, you'll be prompted to become a member first (it's free!). Note that when you enter The Lounge, you are creating a private instance, not joining a public Lounge. You'll need to invite your friends, or use a #roomcode.
  
• The Lounge - The player cap has been increased to 16. So you can have up to 15 friends with you in The Lounge!
  
• The Lounge - Whiteboards are now movable in The Lounge. So you can grab and position a whiteboard wherever you need it. They also work great as partitions/screens for muder mysteries, etc. =]
  

• The Lounge - There are now sticky notes in The Lounge. You can draw on them with whiteboard markers, then stick them to anything (including yourself/other players). So if you're playing a game where you need to mark a player as a special role, this is a good way to do it!
  

• The Lounge - There is now a working PA system in The Lounge. The mic is on the stage (but you can grab it and carry it around with you). When you talk into the microphone, you can be heard clearly throughout The Lounge!
  

• 3D Charades - there's a new 3D Charades pen, which now lets you control color (by pressing buttons on the pen), and line thickness (by how hard you squeeze the trigger)
  
• 3D Charades - updated and improved layout!
  
• Tutorial - We re-did the intro tutorial to introduce features a little more clearly.
  
• Tutorial - You can now press a button in the Dorm Room to restart the tutorial. This is handy if you want to show a friend the game using your account.
  
• Packages - Gift packages now show rarity and source (i.e., which activity granted them to you).
