About Zach Levins
Zach Levins, now a high-school freshman, loves sports and magic. An avid
baseball player (and Kansas City Royals fan), he also loves basketball. Zach
also enjoys the challenge of thinking up innovative new ideas. He loves words,
and upon hearing the word “obsolete” for the first time, Zach took an immediate
liking to it. He liked the word and its meaning and thought it would be cool
enough to be used somewhere in the title of a game he started dreaming up.
Parting with convention, the name Repeat or You’re Obsolete™ was born first, and
the game was created around the idea behind the name.
