    Jun 20 2025

    The sun is setting at Stonehenge, and we must bring it back with out wits, a wasp and a jam sandwich!

    Part 2 in the Summer Solstice series finds the gaggle of puzzlers at Stonehenge just in time for the sun to rise. The only problem is, if they don't perform the ritual correctly, the sun might not rise at all. In this brain-melting, time travel twisting episode, we'll have to master the past, present, and future if we want to make it out in time.

    Jun 15 2025

    The gang find themselves on the summer solstice in Wiltshire, at Stonehenge no less! There's a great festival happening to celebrate the longest day, but before they can get there they'll have to enter through the gift shop. Before the night is up, they'll have to perform the ritual to get the sun to rise again. Easier said than done!

  • What is a puzzle?
    May 18 2025

    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

  • Ozman Richard's House of Death Games: Bingo Lingo!
    May 11 2025

    This week's episode is Round 3 of The House of Death Games. Jamie opens the episode by strapping a ball gag into his mouth, the team re-enact the Vicar of Dibley soundtrack but substituting The Lord for Cocaine and Bailey cracks her knuckles and absolutely slaughters the rest of the team. But will it be enough to bring her victory?

    Pop another Koala on the Barbie Bruce!
