Escape the Cabin
Sunday Aug 16, 2020
Sunday Aug 16, 2020
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!

This week Ben, Chris, and Mike rummage around the robes of a man that Jon killed off.
An puzzle wrapped up in a bunker, wrapped up in a consiracy, wrapped up in a perfectly reasonable explanation thank you very much, guv'na!

Escape The Lizard in the Locker Room
Sunday Jul 05, 2020
Sunday Jul 05, 2020
It's a super special mega episode! Longest episode everish! Most solvers everish! Mike, Ben, Aled, Bailey, Alan and Laura are escaping from a guest room - kindly supplied by Walter Miska, from his fabulous book Escape Passages Volume 1!
Listen as we don our American Jock personas to retrieve our faithful mascot, Kong, from those horrid Hordenwood Hornets and their locker room of hormones and LIES!
This episode is genuinely a window in to what it's like to solve a real life escape room with us. It's our usual hit squad, and hoo boy do we have to stack up the brains before we can solve a puzzle.
Walter was kind enough to give his blessing for us to record us solving this first room. If you'd like to GM this room yourself, or any of the other two excellent scenario's he's put together, you can find his book here at: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Escape-Passages-Mr-Walter-Miska/dp/1087426871
As always, this isn't sponsored content - it's just one of those lovely weird things that happens if you're a member of the Escape Room community. If you've got your own special project you'd like to share, feel free to hit us up on the Twitters, or at Facebook.
