| 6/28/26 | ![]() His Majesty's Secret Sandwich | His Royal Majesty is on his way to the legally distinct underground sandwich shop for his daily favourite footlong.

| 6/14/26 | ![]() Pubisode Discussion: Is escaping enough any more? | Join us in this week's 'cafe-isode' at Squeaky Cream's Artisanal Fromagery and Coffee Roastery, where instead of coffee foam they serve cappuccinos with a dollop of gorgonzola. Here we'll be reflecting on a big question in the escape room industry: Is escaping "enough" anymore? Or do you have another core central mechanic? How about inserting other mechanics into rooms, such as achievements and side games? What makes a room memorable? As always, here are your recommendations for this month. Jamie - The Rest is Science (podcast), an accessible and fun science podcast that tackles questions of life and the universe. Bailey - Museum of Pop Culture with Josh Widdicombe (podcast) that is about exactly that - moments in pop culture history! Mike - Ade Edmondson's Beserker! (book), a fantastic read from a national treasure. Hosts: Mike Collins, Jamie Gibbs, Emma Bailey Editor: Jamie Gibbs Come and chat to us on Facebook, Instagram, BlueSky and LinkedIn.

Inside they find a VHS player, and three tapes. Last week the team tried to play a VHS tape and were transported to a sinister sewer to face a laughing clown, this week they find themselves stood in a room with no windows or doors, lit only by the pale glow of a television showing static. Until it doesn't. With 999 possible channels for the team to uncover, this won't be an easy task.

Inside they find a VHS player, and three tapes. But this is no ordinary VHS player, as the moment the tape goes in the world shimmers in static and we find ourselves transported to... A sewer. There's distant crying coming from the darkness and a creepy red balloon hovering in the air. But there's no time for clowning around when there's a puzzle to solve. If you're playing along with the puzzle, check out this visual asset when Jon finds the compass.

| 10/5/25 | ![]() Puzzle Creators React: Inside No 9: CTRL, ALT, ESC | 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. In this podcast we're looking at the escape room episode of Inside No. 9, "CTRL ALT ESCAPE". Follow Mairi, Jamie, and special guest Alex Hylands-White as they put the room through its paces and discuss what improvements they'd make to make it a better escape room.

| 9/28/25 | ![]() Are Escape Rooms Getting Easier - At the Toasty Post Life Ghosty Posty | Pull up a stool in the Northern northern northern Australian outback! At this near-empty Pub the team wrangle over the concept of difficulty in Escape Rooms, what it is, whether it is simply a feature of good or bad design, whether it is changing and, inevitably, what even counts as an Escape Room anymore at all! As always we come to you with humble recommendations to ease you into Autumn. Jamie - Thank Goodness You're Here! Cartoon style Steam game set in Northern England in which you help out the locals entirely by slapping things. Mike - Dungeon Crawler Carl books. Unapologetically trope-ridden fast food adventure books for when you'd like to read, but not to think. Jon - I Who Have Never Known Men. Utterly bleak dystopian sci fi novel, translated from French, that follows the first hand account of a young woman trapped in a cage with 39 other women for reasons none of them understand. You will be sad, but also know more. Jon (AGAIN) - Superliminal. Incredibly straightforward yet shockingly mind bending puzzle game that is all about changing your perspective. Think Stanley Parable if it looked better and were more optimistic. Genuinely moving and uplifting.

| 9/21/25 | ![]() Outback Odyssey: The Tin Horse Highway | With just twenty two minutes and thirty seconds remaining before our flight from Australia Airport leaves, the team have no choice but to solve Jon's puzzle puzzle at the crossroads. Somewhere off Australia Road (which by the way, is the road in Australia, in case you were wondering), the airport awaits... But which way? "Struth Ruth, Bruce is coming babe." Puzzle Maestro: Jon Saunders Solvers: Mike Collins, Jamie Gibbs Episode Art: Dom Jordan Editor: Jamie Gibbs Visual handouts to play along Tin Horses TLDR: The second escape room in the Outback Odyssey arc centres on a postman called Bruce, the Tin Horse Highway, and many letters without addresses.

| 9/14/25 | ![]() Outback Odyssey: There’s No Place Like Gnome | With the team's outback getaway driver KO-ed outside the toilet, the team find themselves stranded in the outback, 45 minutes before their flight from "Australia Airport" leaves. Time is of the essence, and in this special the solvers will have a shared 45-minutes to solve across both parts of the Outback Odyssey arc. But before they can get back on the road they'll have to get through dozens and dozens of gnomes... in various state of undress (Jamie's exact words, not mine). Somewhere among these gnomes the key to escape lies. It's time to lock in and- "Gnome more Mr. Nice Guy". Puzzle Maestro: Jamie Gibbs Solvers: Mike Collins, Jon Saunders Episode Art: Dom Jordan Editor: Mike Collins TLDR: The first episode in the Outback Odyssey arc takes place in a field of gnomes in the Australian outback, featuring anagrams, rude gnome gestures, and a locked toilet.

| 9/7/25 | ![]() The Desert of Wee Reborn | This is the final week of our two-week summer break, where we recharge our puzzle batteries. But we won't leave you empty handed - here's a director's cut edition of a classic episode with new editing, music, SFX and commentary. This episode initially aired a little later than normal due to some technical gremlins, which meant it didn't get a fair shake before the following week's episode came in and pushed it out of the feed (people love that fresh content, yo). And it's a particularly fiendish puzzle from Mike that also uses a hefty amount of learning theory. Mike pulled a sneaky on us and had us doing a team building exercise (le gasp!). The original recording was 2 hours long. So as a special treat, here's a re-edited version along with the puzzle debrief and additional commentary from me (Jamie). Grab a glass of warm urine and join us as we attempt to escape the desert with a surprisingly Northern sounding Bear Grylls. Will we select the correct five items to enable our escape? And what's with that Morse Code, anyway? Special thanks to Patreon supporters Rachel, Howlfin and Will for making this episode possible.

| 8/31/25 | ![]() GroundFarce Reborn | This is the start of our two-week summer break, where we recharge our puzzle batteries. But we won't leave you empty handed - here's a director's cut edition of a classic episode with new editing, music, SFX and commentary. Sometimes, an episode as such an impact on us that we talk about it months or even years later. Groundfarce is one of those episodes. What started out as a simple spatial puzzle quickly devolved into a mud slinging match with zingers such as "Left isn't a cardinal direction!" and "I've left the shed and my eyes appear to have stopped working". We cut a fair amount from the episode in the original airing because things got a little heated. But as a special treat, here's the whole thing with additional commentary from me (Jamie). Grab your trowel and bring a map as Jon takes us through a surprisingly complex English garden puzzle.

| 8/24/25 | ![]() Accessibility in Audio Escape Rooms - At The Consume This Beer-dia Hotel feat. Escape This Podcast | Does adapting escape rooms to audio make them more accessible … or more exclusive? Join Jamie, Mairi and special guests Dani and Bill from Escape This Podcast as we discuss accessibility in game design and what it means for creating escape rooms of the ears, the eyes, and all the senses.

As always, we come to you with some recommendations for the month ahead. They are: Mairi - Signing up to vote in this year's TERPECAs. Or just using the site to find some cool escape rooms near you. Bill - Novelty Automation in London, UK. A museum collection of satirical, home-made arcade machines. Dani - Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, and in particular pay attention to it's clever feeding of information in character dialogue. Jamie - Another podcast: Today in History!
