The thrilling conclusion to the gang's descent into depravity as they try desperately to become members of the Rotary Club.
This week, Mike sends them down into the sex dungeon, to try and find out who killed the corpse on the table ... and with what? There's a plethora of sexually depraved devices from which to choose, but will they choose wisely?

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.

Having spent all of their money on a single nights rent the team go out to celebrate their right to exist...in the park, because they can't afford to go anywhere else. Join Jon and Anna as they pick apart Mike's thinly veiled satire of the housing crisis. Digressions include Mike's book, why Mike thinks writing books is easy but putting them together is hard, the absolute Kafka esque hell of the rental sector in the UK and Anna's love of Severance.

In this week's cataloguing of our national decline the team is arrested outside the leafy setting of The Great British Bake Off and returned to their rightful place, a cramped mould ridden maisonette administered by a sadistic estate agent and the sort of landlord that sees the death of one of their tenants as "a real headache."
And like any flatshare, the team are invited to the "house WhatsApp" on their arrival. But why?
And what dastardly villain would come up with such an unrelentingly bleak concept for an escape room?
Mike. Mike would. And he'd do all the voices, too.

This week Jamie is joined by Gord and Liz from Review the Room to desecrate several British national treasures in quick succession.
There's copious sampling of unknown white powders in this one - completely unintended, promise.
-
Tuck into some Snail Porridge at Heston F***ing Blumenthal's legally different pub as Ben and Jamie try to make sense of last weeks room. Topics include the psychological harm caused by Anosmia, favourite smells (petrol, bacon), the dangers of writing puzzles with similar ingredients and then relying on the team to distinguish between them, and the Victorian pleasure of Snorting Mummies.
Yep, you read that right.

It's only taken five years but Jon has finally managed to start a recording ahead of time. It lasts thirty seconds and immeadiately fails. This is followed by an intro section that goes completely out of sequence and one of the most obscure puzzles we've ever done. There are no locks, no keys or codes. All that's needed is the answer to a simple question. What's wrong with Heston?
This episode features Jon, Jamie, Ben and even Jon's wife Sinead providing some piano for the ending.

Come join us at the "We've put a flag in it, so it's ours" pub, where Jamie, Mairi and Helen chat about last week's episode - The Museum Anti Heist.
We also have a brief chat about weird-flavoured beers, get into just how much stuff the British Museum has stolen over the years, and Jamie leads a call to reclaim Stonehenge for the Welsh.

Pull up a Wicker armchair and join us for a watery brew at The Arse, or The Forge and Wicker, or The Golden Shower, or whatever we've settled on as the name of this hellish pub. A fitting a retreat after a puzzle described initially by Jon as "definately an easy one," that descended into confusion, public urination and serial village murder. Everything that could be misunderstood, was, and everything that couldn't was as well.
Topics of discussion include the traditional Spanish abduction of naughty Dutch children via Steamboat, why Beer definately should be served with chocolate, the human tendency to see patterns in random events and extract meaning from those patterns, and smut. Really, quite a lot of smut.
Thie episode features Ben, Annekoos, and Jon. Which is why it is late.

You are in a state of crisis, the puzzle pieces before you make no sense. No answers come to you, no logic pervades, no inspiration. What do you do?
Well if this episode is anything to go by, you pee on it. And then expectantly ask the GM whether that "does anything."
With teams like these, who needs enemies.
This episode features Annekoos, Ben and Jon.
Special thanks this episode to Lena Orsa, for the Epic Cinematic Music that Jon glorifies amateurism to at the top of the show.

Gather ye round, settle down, grab a beer and listen in as I chat with David Spira and Peih-Gee Law of Reality Escape Pod about last week's episode - The Wicker Plan.
We also touch on why David and PG enjoy leaving one another for dead, we chat about the difficulties of switching you brain between game mode and story mode in an escape room, and we get a little insight into how they make REPOD.
Check out Reality Escape Pod and say hi to David at @roomscapeartist and Peih-Gee at @peihgee.

We're joined this week by David Spira and Peih-Gee Law of Reality Escape Pod, where they have to work their way out of a burning wicker man where everything is designed to kill them.

Join Annekoos, Bailey, Mike and Aled as they sip their overpriced tipples in The Garrick Club, Jon's natural home. We kick off by discussing the great injustices of Jon's previous room (chief among them that he inadvertently told them not to bother taking notes). Topics of digression then include Overengineered Light Switches, Corporate Flunkies, The Rise of Clickbait Journalism, The Capabilities of The Scorpion and The Death Of Self. Standard night at the pub, then.
-
Mike's back! And what an absolute hellscape he's returned to! He joins Annekoos, Aled, and Bailey as they wrangle another Jon shaped disaster of misdirection. Tune in and listen to them slowly go mad as they try to figure out who's on top, and what top is, exactly.

This week, Dom crafts a delightful puzzle where Ben and Jamie have to escape from Nitflex - the streaming service with a delightful set of portals we can jump into. Dom also did a fantastic job at hosting this one, too. Tell us if you think he should host more often :) His alliteration skills were also on point.
