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.

Our inaugural episode looks at the escape room episode of Brooklyn Nine-Nine - Karen Peralta (Season 3 Episode 14).

This is the episode where Captain Holt, Gina, Hitchcock and Scully 'work' together to escape a nuclear bunker.

Follow Mike, Jamie and Mairi as they put the room through its paces and discuss how they'd make it a better escape room experience

Hosts: Mike Collins, Jamie Gibbs, Mairi Nolan

This week, Jamie and Mairi are joined by author and game designer Eloise Corvo who chats with us about her new book, Off the Beaten Path, as well as her love of Michigan, cozy murders and designing mystery games.

This week we're joined by author and game designer Eloise Corvo who's presented us with a mystery set in the world of her cozy murder Stone's Throw Mystery novel, Off the Beaten Path. Think Parks and Rec meets Clue, and you're pretty much there.

Will Jamie and Mairi manage to find the missing tomatoes before Pop's big fundraiser starts? And just how chewy is the beer in this place, anyway?

In a cool twist of fate, our escape pod friends Dani and Bill of Escape This Podcast recently played this same room! See how they got on (and give them some friendly heckling from us)

In this wrap-up Pubisode for our Nursery Crimes Arc, the team delve into the thorny subject of Improvisation and its place in All Fun Things. Whether you live life off script (hello Jon) or are a paid up member of the Order Of The Flow Chart, your strong opinion is invited!

This is the final episode of our Nursery Crimes arc, in which the time try to appease Grandfather Story by getting off the Farmer's Wife (me neither!?) in order to avoid being flayed alive. Standard fare for the Infinite Escape Room!

The real treat in this room is a trio of fiendish puzzles from Dom, who wrongfoots our experienced puzzlers at every turn. Delicious Listening!

It's the second in our series of Nursery Crimes, as the gang try and navigate the murky murderous world of Grandfather Story and solve the murder of the three blind mice.

This week, Mairi takes Dom and Mike to the most exclusive restaurant in town, where they find themselves serving a very hungry customerpillar.

Part of the Nursery Crimes series,  released in time for World Book Day.

This week Mike leads Mairi and Dom into Grandfather Story's adorable watercolour world...to solve a murder most gruesome and avoid a fate most cannibalistic. This is how we got ants.

That and the egg everywhere, as the gang try and piece together what happened to Humpty Dumpty, and why they should be so bothered about the emotional state of a stick...

This episode is releasing a few days early to coincide with World Book Day. Because cuteness.

A few months ago we were guests on the Escapuzzled podcast with Corey and Helena. The original, booze filled episode was over 2 hours long (the recording was twice that again!). Here's the second half of that interview, where we go into the puzzle making process, designing games for audio and generally how we embrace chaos in all we do.

Enjoy!

Say hi to Escapuzzled:

This week, Mike poses the question: Is player cognitive load a help or a hindrance when designing escape rooms? 

We also chat about Mairi's secret connection to the Chocolate Orange fortune, and round out the night with our recommendations for books, games and other podcasts.
