Escape The British Museum
This week the team find themselves in the bowels of The British Museum on a very inauspicious day. Mother's day. Also the day the world ends. Apparently.

This week Danny, Alan and Jon try and solve Mike's frightful Heston Blumenthal time travel Turkey Twizzler puzzle, all the while uncertain as to whether something else, some deep dreadful metatask is at foot.
Spoiler, there is - but there isn't - BUT THERE IS.
Will they find the pretty much accurate secret recipe? Or will they succumb so suspicion? TIFO!
And as ever, if you enjoy the episode, why not chuck us a quid via Patreon, or hit us up on the Twitters or the Facebook. You fab folk you.
Imagine if you lived in a peaceful, snow covered country that was absolutely perfectly fine until unpleasant things started falling on it. This isn't what you think...and also, sort of is.
But, tasteful.
Aled, Mike and Annekoos try and worm their way out of Jon's horrendous snowscape...with music!
Remember Dick Dasterdly? Remember Mutley? Remember Penelope Pitstop? If any of these names mean anything to you then you were either a) a child in 1968 or b) a child after 1968 watching re-runs of a very curious little specimen of a cartoon.
This week the team hit the track in the Wacky Races. Their task is simple, make sure the race goes ahead without a hitch. Or a death. Or a crime against humanity.
Their host is Jon, so this should be easy...

We're back! Slightly older, slightly weirder, slightly drunker, but not slighter. We pickup where we left off with the team approaching an inoccent looking Railway Station, just in time to catch the last train home. If only they had enough money for tickets...
This episode features a new solver, Annekoos! (Honor-Coast without the "t" at the end"). She was sadly limited to a laptop mic, so apologies for the audio quality on her track, we'll get her setup properly in time for her next outing.
So without, further ado, lets get stuck in!
And wouldn't we all like to do that from time to time?
This week the team find themselves trapped in an ancient building and guilty of a heinous act of vandalism involving a giant golden crucifix. Can they put the pieces back together again? Tune in, find out!
Don't let the title fool you. Jon does his best to be dark and creepy while the others consistently undermine him with gags about buttocks, scarecrows, and the many ways in which an abandoned car with a birds nest growing in it might no longer be road worthy. Oh and there's bodies. Lots of bodies.

A long, long time ago, we did a corporate gig. We also did a rehearsal with some friends and family and, by way of thanks, we offered them the chance to choose a venue for a future episode. They chose Madamme Tussauds.
What could be more charming than an idle wander through the wax works of this great institution, respectfully looking, not touching (and definately not stabbing, Alan), adhering to all signage and staying on our side of the venerable velvet rope.
What indeed...

This week join Danny, Anna and Jon as they find themselves confronting Mike's terrifying creation of Mecha Richard Osman's deadly quiz show.
Massive thanks to Hill Burton for suggesting the quiz question puzzles for this episode - they're absolutely fiendish and it was great fun building a ridiculous episode around them.
Also you might notice that this episode has some iffy audio! Poor ol' Danny managed to goof on his audio settings and recorded his voice track with his webcam rather than his very posh and expensive microphone. Also our track backup solution (CraigBot) has been letting us down of late - so no backup. Whoopsiedoodles.
And finally, if you enjoy the show then you can support us via Patreon, or hit us up on the Twitters or the Facebook.
We're joined this week by Cici and Brandon from ESCAPETHEROOMers; an Escape Room focused youtube channel and review site, based out of New York. Jon picks their brains about their show, the industry more generally and their favourite UK room, then we get down to the good stuff and give them a room to solve!
Will Cici use Delilah in the right orifice?
Will Brandon make it through the show with that much whisky inside him?
Has Jon considered the consequences of giving his solvers access to the miracle of Fire?
Tune in and find out!
Will Jon form a splinter group?
Does Mike harpoon himself?
Ever had that dream? You know, the one where a giant four year old decides to play dressup with you after setting an arbitrary thirty minute Escape Timer? Yeah, me too. And now, so have Dom, Mike and Aled.
Will Mike make a good Baby?
Will Dom ever sound happy on the inside?
Will Aled leave Mike hanging?
Tune in, find out!
Also if you're digging the show not sling us a quid via Patreon, or hit us up on the Twitters or the Facebook?
We are returned! And Normal Service has resumed. And by "normal" I mean a half dozen unbroadcastable outbursts followed by some light philosophy while locked in an Imaginary Fun Prison. Alone.
Poor Danny, Poor, Lonely, Danny.
EDIT: There was a technical issue with the end of this episode. I've fixed and reuploaded but you might need to refresh your feed/redownload for the fixed version to come through.
Join the TIER team for episode two of their holiday mini-series. Follow Jamie, Jon, and Ben this week as we turn to Mike's lovely view out of a window.
Does Jamie have a stomach of steel?
What will Ben try with a small pump?
After everything that we've tried to censor in the past, what hill will Jon die on?
Questions, answers, and probably more questions are to be found in this episode of the TIER holiday special!
It's been suggested by some that my episodes are unecessarily bleak. To remedy this, I give you Escape The Car Crash, featuring Michael Buble.
Will Mike recover from being a Cyclist?
Will Jamie make a good Poultergeist?
Will Aled ever forgive me?
Tune in and find out.
Unusually starting this episode with a PSA. The subject matter of this room hinges on a suicide attempt which some listeners might, understandably, not want to make light of in any way. While I hope we handle it sensitively, it may not be for everyone.
Hopefully helpfully, if this troubles you in a serious way, you may want to talk to someone about it.
The Samaritans offer a listening service that can be reached on the following numbers:
UK: 116 123

This week the team find themselves locked in a self-driving Van with everything they posess and the ominous number 5.
Will Ben be able to pronounce his own name?
Will Anna murder another slug?
Will Jamie make it to his second Jab?
Would Dom make a good Poultergeist?
And finally, when Jon meets St Peter at the Pearly Gates, will he ever be forgiven for this...
