Who are you in 1990?
Jock, brain, skater, prep, grunge kid or art kid. Two looks each, your own colors and your own stuff.
90s Rewind
FALL 1990 · ACT 1
A life sim from homeroom to the Y2K party. Earn Mom's trust, rent the tape, get a job, pay the rent, and beat Chad Brewster to the year 2000.
Free. No account, no ads, no sign-up. Your saves stay in this browser.
BE KIND, REWIND
Grow up. Get a job. Survive Y2K.
Every season you get a set of hours. Spend them on school, jobs, friends and fun to hit your goals before your rival does. Then move out, pay rent, open a checking account and make it to midnight on December 31, 1999.
Rent the tape
Return it on time. Every hour counts, every block is a choice, and Trent at the counter is watching.
On your own
Act 2 is the City: a first job, a first card, a first apartment. Chad, as always, is doing great.
Plays on a computer, a tablet, or a phone held sideways. A walk-around arcade, go-karts, golf and 17 minigames inside, from laser tag to downhill skiing.
AFTER MIDNIGHT · 2000 AND ON
Overtime: race to a million
The Y2K party isn't the end. Keep playing into the 2000s and race to a net worth of $100K, then $1M, in as few seasons as you can.
- Own the town. Buy any of 27 businesses, from the Pizza Palace to the stadium. Run them yourself or hire a manager.
- Mind your Morale. Work nonstop and your paychecks shrink. Have some fun.
- Ride the decade. The dot-com bust, the housing boom, rentals, an index fund, and your rival's net worth right beside yours.
- Beat your best. Your fastest runs go on your high scores, and in the app on Game Center if you like.
Free, like the rest of the game. Start from your own Y2K party, or fresh in January 2000.
OPTIONAL · ONE TIME
The Full Decade
Three more classmates to race from homeroom to Y2K, each with their own brags, big moments and trophy. Chad stays free.

Yes. The whole game, both acts, Overtime, the arcade and the minigames, with Chad as your rival. The Full Decade ($3.99, one time) adds Tiffani, Deb and Walt. Nothing else is for sale.
Where are my saves?
In this browser, on this device. There are no accounts, so nothing is stored on our side. Clearing this site's data, or playing in a private window, erases the saves. They don't move between browsers, devices or the app.
"Reset all progress" (Menu → About) erases the saves but keeps The Full Decade.
I bought The Full Decade. How do I unlock it in another browser?
Open the game, then Menu → Restore purchase, and paste the license key from your receipt email. It looks like XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX. The same key works in any browser.
I lost the receipt email.
We don't keep emails. Lemon Squeezy, who handled the payment, does: go to Find my order, enter the email you paid with, and they'll send you a link to your receipts and your license key.
Can I get a refund?
Ask by replying to your receipt email, or through the Support page. Lemon Squeezy is the seller of record for website purchases, so they issue the refund. A refunded key stops working for new unlocks.
Does buying on the website unlock the iPhone or iPad app?
No. The website and the App Store are separate stores, so a purchase in one doesn't carry over to the other. In the app, use Restore Purchases for a purchase you made in the App Store.
Does this site track me?
No. No trackers, no analytics, no ads and no cookies. The checkout window, when you open it, is Lemon Squeezy's and works under their privacy policy. Details in our privacy policy.
What do I need to play?
A recent browser on a computer, a tablet or a phone. On a phone, hold it sideways. Sound is on by default; there's a mute button on the title screen.
