In case you don't know, the team that made Slack first made a computer game called Glitch ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glitch_(video_game) ). Slack was borne out of the chat system from Glitch. I believe this 404 page is meant to be reminiscent of that game.

They've raised like $800M! Source: https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/slack#/entity
