aka escape the Upside Down trailer
This episode is brought to you by our wonderful Patreons Jade Shaw, Tonje Beate Halvorsen and Maggie B. Thank you!
This episode Jamie is joined by puzzlers extraordinaire David Spira and Peih-Gee Law from Room Escape Artist / Reality Escape Pod / Reality Escape Convention.
Join David and Peih-Gee as they puzzle their way through a trailer park trailer that's definitely looking a bit ... Stranger. Don't at me, Duffer Brothers.
Cue a time-travelling apple, a cursed Elmo doll and the newest hit event coming soon to all escape rooms near you - The Hunt For The Hidden Bed Cheese.
You can also listen to the playlist in the episode on Spotify. It's pretty cool.
I created the creepy Elmo doll using an Elmo AI voice generator, which is pretty terrifying.
PS This is my game that David mentioned during the episode. I'm not normally one to plug it here but when RoomEscapeArtist says it, who am I to argue?

Escape the Railway Station.

Happy New Year!
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!

There's some dodgy capitalisation in that title...ho hum!
This week Ben is joined by special guests Lee and Adam from The Average Games podcast as Mike takes them through an apocalyptic board game cafe. Mysteries and Meeples abound as we journey within three of Mike's favorite games, and try to keep a step ahead of the Final Barista.
You can also hear these lovely chaps on some other podcasts. Go check them out at Wreckage RPG and Geeks Journal for dessert.

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?

Escape the Cabin of Disappointment
Saturday Feb 20, 2021
Saturday Feb 20, 2021
This week, we’re doing something a little different as we’re joined once more by our much beloved (and at this point semi regular guests) Errol and Manda from the Room Escape Divas.
Join Jon, Manda and Errol as they navigate a narrative plod through disappointment avenue, in Stan’s Escape Experiense. And yes, that is spelt incorrectly. Just wait until you see his Spoky Haunted Kabin.
And as plugged, the 2021 Cryptex Puzzle Hunt starts on the first of March! You should go check it out. It’s very cool, and made by smart people who do the clevers.
Oh yeah, and Errol mentions Justin Nevin's gorgeous Cryptex® Security Box. This is what they look like (drools):
And as ever, if you want to make our day, why not join our Patreon, or hit us up on the Twitters or the Facebook? Gwaaaan.
P.S. We hear Darren Miller's pretty cool too. He assures us he has nothing to do with the manufacture of anything gorgeous.
