The episode in which Mike and Laura find themselves in the midst of a splashy splashy burney death zone, and Mike gets to fulfil a lifelong ambition.
- Has Mike unlocked the secrets of successful communism?
- Has Jamie finally managed to stump Laura's lightning-fast puzzling prowess?
- And just what is a coffee knocker anyway?
Here are the details of the Viking compass and coasters, if you fancy playing along yourself.
Skål!
PS I've taken some liberties with Norse mythology for the sake of the puzzle. If you want a primer on some Norse myths, and like your tunes on the heavier side, I recommend listening to the track Emblas Saga by Brotherhood of Metal. It's pretty wild.

This week, Dom, Anna and Laura find themselves at the behest of Mike's Mars Bar wielding Elon Musk.
In order to complete his total domination of social media, they'll need to infiltrate Facebook HQ and get the platform cancelled! But watch out for the Zuck's stinger!
Is it one of Mike's tightest puzzles? Possibly not. Did he have a lot of fun doing the voices? Yes he did.
Also Jamie cameo's in this episode in one of our most/least copyright infringing characters depending on if he's wearing a shirt. See if you can spot it.

Keep your mind out of the gutter, and your imagination in Gandalf's armpit as the gang find themselves the victim of a well intentioned magical whoopsie.
- Will they listen for suspicious silences?
- Will they check themselves before the wreck themselves?

Tune in, find out!

Oh bother!
With Winnie the Pooh entering the public domain in 2022, Jamie takes Mike and Laura through a little stroll through the Hundred Acre Wood. Can they make it out before the House of Mouse comes a-stomping through the trees?
Cue a very sticky bed, a gratuitous Winnie the Pooh impression, and many BEEEEEES.
This one was a little shorter than expected - Mike and Laura did incredibly well. Note to self: make puzzles harder when playing with sober solvers.
Sacré bleu!
This week's episode sees Ben and Laura attempt to make an explosive exit from the smelliest of prisons - a bath bomb shop!
Cue Jamie's ropey European accents, left socks and flavoursome soaps.
Did you find our cheeky little Easter egg in this episode? Let us know on Twitter or Facebook if you did!
And yes, Jamie does say "audio descriptions for the hard of hearing' at one point. And no, he didn't realise what he'd said until it was much, much too late.

In this Episode, Jamie takes Mike, Laura and Dom in to the Oubliette of a pop culture classic, where he confounds them with an infuriatingly well constructed puzzle.

Is this our shortest episode ever? It could well be - join Aled, Laura and Jamie as they storm through Dom's sneaky post-it production line puzzle.
Also Mike briefly shows up to say the hellos, and then pisses off downstairs for what he thought would be a lovely quiet beer.

Hi folks, bit of a special one for you this week! We got contacted by the Puzzleverse Inc a few months back, wanting to know if we'd like to play and record one of their rooms. We said yes, and this was the result! We had an absolute blast, and our host Jayden was great.
So bit of a departure this week, as you join Mike, Ben, Bailey, Tony, Aled and Laura in solving a crisis on the International Space Station!
We've done our best to describe what we're seeing on the stream and screen as we go, but heck - if you're just missing big group escape rooms this might provide some lovely soothing ambient audio to take you right back to them.
We'd heartily encourage you to check them out if you fancy a fun group escape experience. You can check out their games at https://www.thepuzzleverse.ca/
