Sunday Jul 27, 2025

With water (for coolant) and petrol (for fun) secured, the team need only the ice cream van keys to see them on their merry way. Surely the Ice Cream Man will have them, and, oh look, he's just over there...

On the hunt for some water to help power our only means of escape: an old ice cream truck, the team take refuge inside a toilet block.
Again..? Yes! Look, we like toilet blocks on this podcast. But this toilet block turns out to be used for something quite unexpected. Get in, get the water, and get out. Just don't, whatever you do, use a black light in here.

Ice Cream Wars: Cone of Conflict
Sunday Jul 13, 2025
Sunday Jul 13, 2025
After being a little too successful at getting the sun to rise, Great Britain has turned into a scorching hot warzone of the delicious ice-cream-y kind. As the group head south to the beach, they soon encounter the aftermath of a great fight. Tanks retrofitted to fire lollies litter the street, unexploded cookie sandwich mines lay in wait, and there... Tucked away under a small patch of shade... Is one final ice cream van.
Will we be able to escape into the ice cream van in time?!

Puzzle vs Narrative feat. Aurelius Whitlock's Murder Museum
Sunday Jul 06, 2025
Sunday Jul 06, 2025
Join us all at The Drunk Druid for a chat on all things Puzzles vs Narrative in game design. For this episode, we're joined by the fantastic Nathan and Marcus who are hosts of the Aurelius Whitlock's Murder Museum podcast, and designers on hugely popular video game, Rise of the Golden Idol.
Enjoy!
As always the team have recommendations for your better enjoyment. This month, they are!
Jamie Death and other detailsMandy Patinkin being Poirot on a cruise ship. What's not to like.
Mike James Lee - How I think CreativelyYT video - Frankly terrifying Youtuber giving advice on creativity as if he's cast himself in Sin City.
Nathan Blue PrinceHonestly the entire team lost their minds so completely as soon as this game got mentioned that I was sick a little in my mouth.
Marcus Elyot - 30 Puzzle Design LessonsAnother YT video - Frankly obscenely wide ranging and deep (and I mean deep, like, Oceangate deep) on puzzle design.
Mairi Uketu Strange PicturesAN ACTUAL BOOK. ACTUAL PROPER CULTURE. THANK YOU MAIRI, THANK YOU. Oh wait it's by a Youtuber. However, a Youtuber that wrote a book that Mairi polished off in a single sitting. And, frankly (my word of the day), I have never met someone as easily distracted so, hats off Uketu. You broke Mairi.
Recommendations summarised by the editor, Jon; who was, by the end, so utterly enraged by having this entire set of show notes accidentally deleted that he really went off on one and then began writing about himself in the third person.
What a guy.

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.

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!

London Jolley: There's A-Latte Trouble Brewing
Sunday Jun 08, 2025
Sunday Jun 08, 2025
This week's episode is Part 3 in our special "London Jolley" series. After a weekend of escape rooms, Mike gave us the challenge of each designing an improvised 10 minute escape room on the spot, and hosting it for the other three solvers. The location? A legally distinct, formerly independent coffee chain in the heart of London. The doors are chained shut, but will we be able to escape..?
Puzzle maestros (in order): Jon Saunders, Mairi Nolan, Jamie Gibbs, and Mike Collins
