text: Rumpus room, playroom, and recreation room are all used to describe this liminal space where kids (and later, teens) could do (virtually) whatever they wanted while still within earshot of an adult, though in Atari Age: The Emergence of Video Games in America, University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee professor Michael Z. Newman points out that "rumpus room" "suggests the unbridled, 'anything goes' play of the young rather than the more all-aged entertaining suggested by 'recreation room'" and notes that a rumpus room might specifically be for noisy games and messy activities.
