Escape This Podcast

Following on from our latest episode, we talk with Gemma about the escape room we played through last episode. The focus of this discussion centres around goals and objectives in puzzle solving, and how this room changed the way the players need to approach puzzles in an escape room.

For the first time since episode 1 we have a solo player. We are joined by Gemma Marsh, creator and host of "GM the GM", a podcast about escape rooms from the perspective of a game master. But today she has a different career. Today she is a baker. And someone's baked a bunch of puzzles, crime, and confusion into the bread.

We keep chatting with Neil about the last episode, puzzle design, the playtest episode, and why David Burtka is the best husband in the world. We're joined this episode by magician, actor, and puzzle fan Neil Patrick Harris. As big fans of Neil's work, it was wonderful to find out he was a fan of ours, and then punish him by locking him in a small room for an hour.

For those unaware, Dani and Bill have played through a few murder mysteries over on our patreon. In these episodes, Dani takes a public domain murder mystery story and Bill plays through it in the role of the detective. In this episode, Dani has created a completely original murder mystery, and Bill tries his hand at solving it. It's a sort of proof-of-concept episode for what could be a new weekly, freely available show from Escape This Podcast. This episode is quite long, and would likely be edited into 4 weekly release episodes were it its own thing. If you like the show, or have character name suggestions, make sure you tweet @escthispodcast with the hashtag #EscapeThisMurder And if you want to help make this show a reality, sign up for our Patreon: www.patreon.com/consumethismedia

Back in 2018 the lovely people over at Hypotheticast got in contact with us to see if they could play one of our escape games as an episode of their show. We of course said yes, and they released a fantastic playthrough of our second episode: Saving Razorface. And now it's 2019, so please enjoy this strange, layered, podception episode in which we host an episode of another podcast's version of one of our podcasts...
