Welcome to the first episode of our exciting new format (which feels remarkably like our original format)! This week, the gang finds themselves trapped in a village hall commandeered by the mysterious and sexually deviant local Rotary Club.
To escape, they must crack Jon's intricate, almost Masonic puzzle and recite the elusive Rotary Club oath.

This week's solvers were Mike, Anna & Lisa. Your puzzle maker and host was Jamie Gibbs.

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!

And here's the second and final part of this year's RPG special - stay tuned for a pubisode next week, and then back to our normal format :D
