This week we're joined by author and game designer Eloise Corvo who's presented us with a mystery set in the world of her cozy murder Stone's Throw Mystery novel, Off the Beaten Path. Think Parks and Rec meets Clue, and you're pretty much there.
Will Jamie and Mairi manage to find the missing tomatoes before Pop's big fundraiser starts? And just how chewy is the beer in this place, anyway?

This is the final episode of our Nursery Crimes arc, in which the time try to appease Grandfather Story by getting off the Farmer's Wife (me neither!?) in order to avoid being flayed alive. Standard fare for the Infinite Escape Room!
The real treat in this room is a trio of fiendish puzzles from Dom, who wrongfoots our experienced puzzlers at every turn. Delicious Listening!

This week Mike leads Mairi and Dom into Grandfather Story's adorable watercolour world...to solve a murder most gruesome and avoid a fate most cannibalistic. This is how we got ants.
That and the egg everywhere, as the gang try and piece together what happened to Humpty Dumpty, and why they should be so bothered about the emotional state of a stick...
This episode is releasing a few days early to coincide with World Book Day. Because cuteness.

A few months ago we were guests on the Escapuzzled podcast with Corey and Helena. The original, booze filled episode was over 2 hours long (the recording was twice that again!). Here's the second half of that interview, where we go into the puzzle making process, designing games for audio and generally how we embrace chaos in all we do.
Enjoy!
