Summer Solstice: Time Stands Still at Stonehenge feat. Aurelius Whitlock's Murder Museum

The gang find themselves on the summer solstice in Wiltshire, at Stonehenge no less! There's a great festival happening to celebrate the longest day, but before they can get there they'll have to enter through the gift shop. Before the night is up, they'll have to perform the ritual to get the sun to rise again. Easier said than done!
In this episode, we're joined by Marcus Richardson and Nathan Hicken, the fantastic hosts of the murder mystery podcast Aurelius Whitlock's Murder Museum.

In this new series, we put our professional puzzle design experience to good use and look at escape rooms in film and TV as if they were real escape rooms.
Our inaugural episode looks at the escape room episode of Brooklyn Nine-Nine - Karen Peralta (Season 3 Episode 14).
This is the episode where Captain Holt, Gina, Hitchcock and Scully 'work' together to escape a nuclear bunker.
Follow Mike, Jamie and Mairi as they put the room through its paces and discuss how they'd make it a better escape room experience
Hosts: Mike Collins, Jamie Gibbs, Mairi Nolan

This week Mike leads Mairi and Dom into Grandfather Story's adorable watercolour world...to solve a murder most gruesome and avoid a fate most cannibalistic. This is how we got ants.
That and the egg everywhere, as the gang try and piece together what happened to Humpty Dumpty, and why they should be so bothered about the emotional state of a stick...
This episode is releasing a few days early to coincide with World Book Day. Because cuteness.

This week, Mike poses the question: Is player cognitive load a help or a hindrance when designing escape rooms? 
We also chat about Mairi's secret connection to the Chocolate Orange fortune, and round out the night with our recommendations for books, games and other podcasts.
