The truth behind the "87 mystery." Firstly I will state the main observations regarding the number itself. We know from pictures and in-game content, and even real life merchandise, that the fictional world of "Rec Room" was established in 1987. We know that rec room takes place on a campus and or university aswell. One might argue that it is a campus, but it is not a university because it lacks the main thing a university would have, which is classes. And this would be true, but consider the existence and significance of Maker Pen Classes. You see, Rec Room is a place full of 'students' who come to 'learn' and eventually 'graduate,' and once they 'graduate' they are reffered to as the Rec Room Alumni, and we know that they were est. 1987. Students, are average players. To learn, all one has to do is yield a makerpen. To graduate, that is when you become a reputable creator or have notable influence. And once you graduate you become said Alumni. Note the Rec Room development team takes extreme pride in their creator community. Assigning various ranks and responsibilities to each corresponding level in the hiearchy; which is really measured on one's loyalty to the sate. They recruit people who show loyalty, and thats how they obtain control. In exchange for loyalty (and skill) that person receives ego, and pride (I'll touch on that later). Back to 87, and back to the original point: Rec Room is a University. All we really know about in the Rec Room "lore" is that we have a Coach, who is more of a mascot than anything. That begs the question, where are the teachers and professors? Where is the dean? The administration? Well, it's all there. Makerpen Teachers and Influencers, the developers, the rec center mods (and higher), and so on. When I say 'so on' I must iterate the many different layers of the heirarchy that exist, too many to count. Once you look at the big picture it's all there. Now that the hiearchy is established, lets pull back the layers. Recently I discovered the idea of Gematria, which is essentialy ciphers which convert letters to a numerical value, a = 1, b = 2, c = 3 ect. The theory behind Gematria is that certain words or phrases can be different, but contain the same truth, or idea. I won't go into full detail but essentially imagine words as packets of energy. Different phrases or words can contain the same energy but be different. Example (anthony facui, coronavirus, and mind control all reduce to 56 in simple gematria). If you investigate you will find more interesting ones. Upon learning this, and with my suspicions of Rec Room I decided to put the two together. I discovered that Rec Room reduces to 87 in simple gematria. (Refer to a gematria calculator for proof). Why is this significant? Well, first off this establishes that the number 87 and Rec Room contain the same energy so their meanings can be exchanged. When you see 87, you are seeing Rec Room. This is in-part why you see it show up in so many places. 87 is Rec Rooms mark, when you see 87 you will automatically associate with Rec Room. Its that simple. But, there are still many layers to uncover. Let's consider the next peice of evidence, which is that Rec Room is located on 87th wall street in Seattle, Washington. Peculiar, 87 shows up once again, but this time its mark is imprinted in real life rather than in virtual reality. Let's talk about virtual reality, more specifically when the term was first coined. You wouldn't be surprised to find out it was coined in 1987. Now there is more energy associated with the words "Rec Room" and "87," the energy of virtual reality itself, or rather the year of its official birth. The duality of the date 1987, is that it declares the birth not only of virtual reality but the birth of the Rec Room alumni (perhaps it only existed as a concept until the technology developed). This is credible, and what I discovered next was sort of creepy. Now that we can also interchange the energy of the number 87 with rec room and virtual reality, lets see what we can interchange virtual reality with under the same energy. Previously I was using the english gematria cipher, but using the hebrew gematria cipher we come up with "virtual reality" = 1725. (Note that the transfer from english to hebrew is signifcant). Under that same energy and number, it is equivalent to "Worship Computer = 1725." So, now we can take 87 or [=)] or Rec Room and associate each interchangebly with "Worship Computer" each time we see it. Now, that sounds like a stretch. But I will now complete the picture for you. William Henry Gates in hebrew gematria is equal to 1725, equal to "Virtual reality" and "Worship computer". OKAY. "Bill Gates" is equal to 87 in simple Gematria, that is his mark. That's a little strange, what is Bill Gates the founder of? Microsft? That deals with, what, computers? That's strange, computer in english gematria reduces to 666, which is the mark of the beast? William Henry Gates is Bill Gates father? They carry the same energy? Little strange. What is Rec Room becoming? What did it start out with, and where is it now? Where are the old players? Why should they care? Look at how fast the technology is developing. The end goal is a population that worships virtual reality, in turn worshipping the computer, and the beast, the father of the beast, and the father of that beast.
