Episode description

You have been eaten alive by an irradiated Koala. What a day. But don't worry, there's a pub in here! Join Jamie, Aled, Mike and Bailey as they reflect on a question that should haunt the dreams of more Escape Room designers than it probably does - What is a puzzle?

AND THAT'S NOT ALL. A prize draw. A real one. With a real prize. Well, two, actually, but one of them will probably go a bit funny before it reaches the winner.

Also, our recommendations for this month:

As always, we closed out the episode with some handpicked recommendations from the team:

  • Bailey – TreeApp Plant a tree a day for free by watching short ads—an easy way to support global reforestation.

  • Aled – Piper Alley Bagpipe covers of metal songs. Yes, it's weird. Yes, it's brilliant.

  • Mike – Hardspace: Shipbreaker A relaxing puzzle-like space salvage sim with corporate dystopia vibes. Great on Steam Deck.

  • Mike – Slow Horses by Mick Herron A witty, gritty spy thriller about MI5’s least wanted. Also a TV series starring Gary Oldman.

  • Jamie – Maniac (Steam) GTA-style, top-down bullet hell chaos. Perfect for blowing off steam in 20-minute bursts.

  • Hosts: Mike Collins, Jamie Gibbs, Emma Bailey, Aled Hughes
  • Editor: Jon Saunders
