Maus Trap

Well well well. After 95 years, the OG Mickey Mouse is in the public domain. So of course we see just how close we can get to bringing the fury of the House of Mouse upon us as quickly as possible. What a way to start 2024.
Anna and Bailey were excellent solvers, and it was great to have them back on the pod after so many months.

This week, Aled and Jamie are joined by Jack and Franks from Tales for Wales - a Welsh history podcast where they love their beer as much as their history (they're a couple of guys after our own hearts). Give them a follow, give them a listen and say hi from us.
With a full Welsh contingent and it being almost Christmas, the gang find themselves trapped in a winter cabin and up against the Mari Lwyd - a demonic horse skeleton hell-bent on breaking in and noshing on our solvers' souls.
Visuals attached if you want to play along:

Code 1 - Lintel
Code 2 - Bowl
Ogham Alphabet
Summoning circle
If you like our stuff, please give us a rating / review on your podcasting platform of choice. We'd love for more folks to listen to us, and every review will help us do that.
This week's solvers were Aled, Jack and Franks. Your host and puzzlemaker was Jamie Gibbs.

Time Gentlemen Please! A post-rpg pint (pubisode)

Spoilers ahead! If you haven't already, hop back and listen to our two part RPG special, The Bourne Kerfuffle. Or don't, we're not your handler.
As well as the debrief, we're talking TTRPG mechanics, and some red hot media reccos.
Also...it's the last episode I'm producing before going on parental hiatus! Still going to crop up in some episodes as a guest, but I'll be taking a few months off production as my wee bambino comes in to the world. Best of luck to Jamie and Jon as they man the fort!
