The Rec Room Iceberg Explained... 

Corrections: 1:00 "Rec Room made in 2016": Rec Room was indeed released in 2016. However, it only released and was only playable using an HTC Vive at first, playable via Steam. The Oculus Rift did exist but the touch controllers were not out yet. Rec Room didn't come to the Oculus Rift until December 7th, 2016, the same day the Touch controllers released. Fun fact: While I wasn't around at the time, builds dating back to the first available public build already supported the Touch controllers. One can assume the devs had pre-release units available to them before they were out for the public. 1:58 "Rec Room Moderators": HairyManLegs isn't really a moderator, they just happen to have the same developer privileges that allow them to take moderator actions like any other support member of developer, but it doesn't mean they actually do any of the moderating themselves, nor do they ban players. 7:58 "Setting is a school": It's not supposed to be a school. It's just a recreational center, rec center for short obviously. I see the school similarities but as far as I know, it's not supposed to represent one. 9:04 "2015 trailer": This one gets tossed around a lot, and it's very misleading. The game began development in April 2016. This trailer was made between April and June of 2016. Rec Room did not exist in 2015 in any way, shape, or form. 12:19 "Coach Hacked": This one is very misleading too. Nobody has ever gotten into the @Coach account. What happened here is that before anti-cheat was implemented, people could hack their client to spoof their account to look like another account to other players. This means that the real account they were using was likely a low level account with a random username, but using their hacks they could spoof their account to other game clients and lie to them about which @username they really were using. Source: I'm making an iceberg video, it currently has 70~ different entries right now (some of which were in this video already), and the estimate video length is currently over a hour. I've also been around since 2017 so I know a thing or two.

Sorry I didn't upload on friday, my link cable stopped working. I hope you enjoy this longer video about the rec room iceberg lol. Also mukbang or something at the end idk....

Now I have a reason to exist.

Fun fact: The “Build 01/01/1987 happens to me back in 2019, I was new to VR at the time so I didn’t know how to screenshot it but, I can say that this is true.

13:41, I was "lucky" enough to have loaded into this on accident, basically I had accidentally left my headset (Quest 1) running rec room overnight, when I put it on, I loaded into that dorm room, it was like a normal dorm room but of course with those numbers and a pitch black vibe, something felt very ominous about it, however I failed to actually document my discovery because after about 30 seconds, my game crashed.

I love how the whole Coach’s identity thing is like what happened with the director in club penguin. I’d love to see an event someday that leans in to finding out who coach is.

Jumbotron: "You'll never bring me down!" *Glitches under stairs* Jumbotron: "Oh god Da-"

6:08 so you could say it was an out of body experience

good video, The coach account was some guy who changed some files to make his name and level say coach, The coach account cant actually be logged onto, not even by a dev.

10:53 the “Dark Being” is most likely Hunter who I believe to be Rec Room’s main antagonist

I love these iceberg videos, this was a treat to watch

13:21 Seems like an minecraft reference to me. Mojang has done something similar with herobrine in (almost) every update they writed in the patch notes: herobrine removed

_THIS_ HAS AN ICEBERG, BUT *PAC-MAN* _DOESN'T?_ Ngl, I'm really excited.

Dead man wearing vr headset in the rec center. Apparently a guy in the rec center had a heart attack in the rec center and people thought he was dead but was found out that he was alive and well after.

Correction: 6:12 The glitch actually existed before you needed the perfect blend of the right time and bad Wi-Fi connection at the right spot before

When I watched the “forbidden one” topic another time, I was like: No wonder i was having creepy vibes in the loading screen

Hi there! Thanks for using my RU-vid Video in the Playspace Mover Section!

Ay I remember you, me you and everyone in the giant dorm room game hid in the small room! Crazy getting you in my recommended 😃

I think the “removed the forbidden one” is a nod to Minecraft’s “ removed herobrine” in all of their patch notes

Bro videos like this bring back memories of me starting Rec Room. When I heard "The entire soundtrack and rooms complete the 1987 feel" I swear I was thinking "WHAT?!! HOW?"

Rec room lore: boe is the number 1 supporter of kfg

This is my theory of how rec room started (game lore, not talking bout the company) It all started 20 million years ago. Coach, who was still alive at that time, was scared of the end of the world. She knew that one day, the world would end. Because she believed this, she decided to do something. She spent trillions of dollars (she was rich) on building the entire rec room universe. Everyone saw it and ridiculed her for it, but she did not care, so she kept building. Eventually, she was right. The world did end. A black hole created by the forbidden one started swallowing the entire universe. Eventually, rec room was the only thing left. In fear of their lives, everyone started running towards the place, knowing that is was the only way they would live. The rec center was designed to look like a college. Coach wanted them to forget about the real world. We have been in the rec room universe for millions of years, but it only has felt like 5. Coach wanted us to think we lived in the real world. Eventually, Coach, sadly, passed away (which is why the account is no longer active.) Even though she is no longer with us, her legacy continues to thrive as the person who saved us all. Eventually, the black hole will consume us though (the day you guys don’t make enough money to keep the servers running.) It is a sad fact, but it is our impending doom….

I got this from another iceberg: an anonymous player changed their token count with cheat engine a day before anti cheat was added

13:48 when i first got rec room this error happened to me when this error happens you can still pick up and throw objects the recenter door might have worked but i didnt try it if you were to walk in your playspace it would move you ingame like normally due to the small size of my playspace i wasn’t able to test much and since i couldnt turn i wasnt able to see much

Dude, this video looks like somthing matpat would make, good job!

Nice editing dude!!

I have something for the forbidden one: so The forbidden one can be a sign saying you’re going to get banned soon or you’re getting reported too much.

That out of body glitch scared me so much the first time it happened for a second I thought I died then I remembered I was in rec room 😅💀

The floating buckets scared me for some reason like I stopped playing for a day

Lol you literally posted a rec room ice berg a day after I posted a rec room ice berg, also great video

"remove forbiden one" might of been a easter eag to a patch line in mimecraft "remove herobrine"

Bruh that jumbotron concept art looked absolutely amazing

someone please tell me how you get the rec room font

The Forbidden One must be a big herobrine mock, because mojang did the "removed herobrine" message with their updates, and so is rec room

0:53 Game Over. ("You-a-dead-ya"x2) Not mentioned at the part where Robot Speech is mentioned? Or is it deeper down there?

12:36 I thought I was the only one, WHOS CRAZY NOW LUCA (Luca my bully who always calls me crazy, maybe he is right?)

12:19 what is the music in the background

I’m pretty sure that the “removed the Forbidden One” phrase is a reference to Mojang’s tradition of putting “removed Herobine” in all of their patch notes.

New sub! This is awesome

Ngl I thought the robots said "I wasn't gay" instead of "that wasnt good"

8:05 does anyone have a link to the 8 bit cover of the rec room intro, it sounds really nice

i was waiting for someone to do this

8:06 can you link that 8bit intro/OOBE remix

The build 01/01/1987 happened to me for a quick second as my dorm decorations were loading in.

lol thank you for putting me in your video 6:17

the fact that recroom collabed with fnaf and recroom is based on the year 1987 (the same year of the bite of 87) is scary

I have headphones in and that ending scared the hell out of me

14:17 bro so i was just chilling and rubbing my eyes because its pretty late rn, and then all of a sudden that jumpscare fuckin plays and like my heart was on the verge of popping when it did that

4:17 I actually spotted a flying bucket when I made a private rec center before, I was so confused

If you look at the poster in the corner with all the couches in Laser Tag, the poster there says that laser tag is preparing you for Jumbotron

and i like how the Undertale music matches with the layers with stuff like Bonestousle (i think thats how u pronounce it and its papyrus' theme) and woofenstein for the Forbidden

you should’ve added the secret trophy in the old rec center to the iceberg. it isn’t very well known

14:12 THE BITE OF 87?!?!?!

I can really feel the kfg asmr tingles

There’s this bug that happened to me where I can’t hear anyone. Anybody know what happened?

10:43 could you link the video?

Nice Video!

You can still get Raw Data for finding vulnerabilities Out Of Body is not fully fixed

Watching a rec room vid and get a rec room ad, what a coincedink

This explains a lot… tbh I really surprised. Hidden Secrets of Coach? And Hidden Secret of the forbidden one? What if they were they same. Tbh I was curious about the forbidden one. Gotta say really helpful👍

Kidthatwearsamask!? I played against in dodgeball reclympics the other day what a coincidence I see him in this video! Anyway uhhh... good video Wrighteous

Wow your already at 15k subs feels like yesterday I was at your 1000 sub special I was the first one there Ze salty hotdog

6:07 what is that song

the "removed the forbidden one" patch note reminded me of minecraft's "removed herobrine" april fools

Very informative!

Banger video

Maybe the forbidden one was someone who got stuck in the old login screen and couldnt get out. Then he started to haunt people who wanted to login.

The old menu for rec room felt like a horror game ngl

Build 1987 happens when logging in some time happened a lot on psvr and Ives seen it more then 50 times at this point

10:00 yo is that anot londo in rec room? game name please?

Pls help me to fix rec room it wont let me log in

“Removed the Forbidden One.” Huh, i heard that similar phrase. “Removed Herobrine.”

I once had the dorm room on my login screen, although since it was on the new login screen the sky was blue. Also according to another iceberg someone died irl while playing Rec Room in a Rec Center

After the creepy glitches you startles me BADLY with a *KFG*

Hey, I got credited for doing 2, nice 😀

Then what happend to coach is she still a mod did she make a new account?

I’m 10 seconds in and I LOVE IT PLEASE DONT STOP THESE VIDEOS this is amazing you’re actually the best thank you so much! THANK YOU FOR THESE VIDEOS

I was in rec royals and I found a person with the raw data set and he was also the person with the most kills in rec royal solos

Theory was,so crescendo and laser tag(map in cyber junk) had 2016 sandbox(allow to spawn any prop) got dump at next to shotgun and GERNADE locate from teal team and crescendo was level at “garden of sorrow”

The out of body glitch happened to me lately when I made a working coffin

I've seen the forbidden one in the old login screen. I used to play on PSVR and I once saw a figure just sorta staring at me from the dark. I decided not to play rec room that day. Also once I was chilling in my dorm alone, when I suddenly just started hearing whispering sounds, I couldn't really understand what it was saying but I heard something along the lines of "It's forbidden" and "You cannot tell them" and then my game crashed. When I went back to log in, I looked around and there was no shadowy figure anymore.

14:03 actually happened to me a few times on psvr

music at 14:08?

Me and my friend were playing golden trophy and Coach joined, he startet typing he said "i'm bored" and left the server.

As you can see In Stunt Runner, there is a Sandbox Machine in the sixth level. By the Beginning of the sixth level , where there is water, in the water you can see the trashed Samdbox machine.

4:16 there is still a flowting purple bukcet with white glowing eyes that floats outside the windows in privet servers right when u join so u gotta be quick to see it :edit as i watched more into the video i found ou this is the bucket of the forbiddon one:

The first Rex room loading screen that had the dark shadow ngl scared me. First i felt Someone was watching, it didn’t feel right I just hated it. But everything makes sense now!

its 2 am and i havent peed. I am not in the correct position for watching this, help me.

The "Removed the forbidden one" update was very similar to minecraft's community lore of "Herobrine", that made mojang put a update text in the update log saying "Removed herobrine". Does it relate to eachother?

I SWEAR I ALWAYS KNEW THAT I SAW A WEIRD FIGURE IN THE OLD LOADING SCREEN AND I WAS ALWAYS SCARED OF IT TOO SO I WAS SUPER GLAD WHEN THEY ACTUALLY MAFE IT BRIGHT

is it also a game or is it a scary thing in rec room or something?

the last part scared mee! i thought it was the forbidden one!!

Some times It sounds like one of the bots IN Jumbotron are saying RAISIN BRAN

I got the "out of body" glitch when I started my journey on rec room

13:22 That is likely a reference to how Minecraft updates say "Removed Herobrine" Nice callback

The forbidden one is just rec room herobrine. If you did not know, on the minecraft update screen, it also says "-removed herobrine"

REC ROOM ICEBERG, REC ROOM ICEBERG, REC ROOM ICEBERG, WOOOOOO, NOW I CAN NERD OUT ABOUT HOW MUCH I KNOW ABOUT REC ROOM

2:44 Oh hey there. I was playing rec room at that time. Nice! 2:50 Oh wait a minute... Those dates seems like they are related to at least one (A Minecraft RU-vidr) in an incidentally related way... 5:45 This looks similar to what Roblox may do if it's having issues... 6:00 This may be related to " ^RecRally ", because they are both racing genre stuff. 9:54 This is something to know about. TFO is linked to the recroom lore though this event being one of the anchors, if this is what i think it is. What i think it is is the disappearence of coach. But I'm unsure. 12:37 I'm sure the forbidden one's a part of RecRoom's canon lore now... Even the Science Center of RecRoom recommended a TFO Parkour quest for a day in the month of Christmas at 2022. 12:44 Ok noted. 12:47 I'm sure I slighted a shadow one time in the new log-in screen but only if you are logging in from being logged out. 13:23 Oh thank god! Is that the time when the dracula bug was fixed? That one bug definitely slowed me down from getting my first win, because it was PRETTY scary when it happened! 13:43 interesting.

I'm guessing the forbidden kne is gonna be like minecraft herobrine where it says it was removed but it comes back and the just keep asting it was removed

One time I got stuck in the loading screen and I start to look around and my heart almost stoped when I seen a shadow of a character/ the forbidden one and I stood thare in shock in the end nothing happened but I’m still terrified about it honestly i kinda stoped playing the game for like 2-3 days
