Children of Maesaris - Chapter 4 - Despite All My Rage I'm Still Just a Matt in a Cage ft. Matt Lee
Three sacrifices have been saved, but who is next? Bill follows the clues, and the trail leads him to the local Zoo. Will he be able to escape the room and save another victim of the Children of Maesaris, or will he fall short and become a victim himself? This episode features birds, lizards, gloves, keys, and one bad mamba.
Our guest this episode is Matt Lee, co-owner of the Enigma Room in Sydney. Make sure you check out his rooms next time you're in Sydney, and if you need an escape game for your next conference or group event, be sure to check out their large events options!

Episode 12: The Trial of the Century ft. Nick Clay
Our two heroes have stumbled their way into the audience for the biggest trial their town has ever seen. It's got it all: murder, intrigue and a pair of twin crime solvers waiting in the wings. But it does seem a little one sided, almost like there's something else going on behind the scenes. If only our detectives had more time, if only they could slow things down, and get some breathing room...
