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.

David and Lisa Spira from Room Escape Artist join Mike in trying to escape a cabin in the woods.
After escaping the barn by plane last week, the three find themselves running low on fuel. Thankfully they've all be putting in extra hours of Kerbal Space Program and the landing on a dirt road is surprisingly painless.Coming to a stop they find themselves outside of a cabin that happens to have a fuel pump.
Can they operate the fuel pump?
Will they get into the cabin?
How many Room Escape Artist references can Ben sneak in!?
Tune in and find out!
