Escape the Clock
Sunday May 17, 2020
Sunday May 17, 2020
This week Aled, Ben, and Tony find themselves in Chris' puzzling clockwork room.
Will our puzzlers get lost in time forever? Or will they make time stand still?
Tune in to find out in the episode dubbed "The one that almost got canned"! ** Why? Because:
Aled was asleep and we had to call him to get him on the recording
Tony's internet failed half an hour before recording, so we communicated with him over the phone
Chris has a new microphone setup which generated some buzzing (but he managed to solve it)
And lastly, when Aled hit record there was nothing showing on his recorder - then there was! But in post we found that there was a terrible hiss on his track - Mike and I have cleaned it up as best we could.

Billy Bonus! Reviewing The Escape Game Unlocked - Volume 1: Chasing Hahn
Thursday May 14, 2020
Thursday May 14, 2020
Cheeky bonus episode! Boom! We got sent a digital escape game to review - so we did! We recorded this right after we'd finished the room, and rather enjoyed our first ever lockdown digital escape room. There's also a giveaway at the end for a lucky listener to have a bash themselves, courtesy of https://store.theescapegame.com/
NB: No brown paper envelope full of money changed hands, just Val being sweet enough to send us the codes.
NBB: Cherry bakewells are delicious but probably not the ideal metric for scoring escape rooms...because Ben and I don't want to share them.
