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.

Cool stuff to check out:

• A coincidental mammoth meat connection - Cave Escape Nottingham: Project Iceman

Also, our own Mike Collins has co-written a bloody book! Check out the Pedagodzilla book for pop culture and learning deliciousness.

This week, Jamie is joined by Helen and Mairi - two of our wonderful Patreon subscribers - to smuggle a few historical objects from the British Museum.

Fictionally sponsored by Mammoth Meat, this episode features much chewing, pocket lint theft, dodgy accents and a surprise cameo.

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.

• Fire in the feet

It's a nightmare.

Here's a handout if you want to play along:

And remember - don't snort bees, kids. It'll mess you up.

Your solvers this week were David Spira and Peih-Gee Law.

Game design and hosting by Jamie Gibbs.

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.
