The Infinite Escape Room

The gang continues their journey through the Rotary Club village hall - this week they're stuck in the kitchen.

Welcome to the first episode of our exciting new format (which feels remarkably like our original format)! This week, the gang finds themselves trapped in a village hall commandeered by the mysterious and sexually deviant local Rotary Club.
To escape, they must crack Jon's intricate, almost Masonic puzzle and recite the elusive Rotary Club oath.

Having spent all of their money on a single nights rent the team go out to celebrate their right to exist...in the park, because they can't afford to go anywhere else. Join Jon and Anna as they pick apart Mike's thinly veiled satire of the housing crisis. Digressions include Mike's book, why Mike thinks writing books is easy but putting them together is hard, the absolute Kafka esque hell of the rental sector in the UK and Anna's love of Severance.

In this week's cataloguing of our national decline the team is arrested outside the leafy setting of The Great British Bake Off and returned to their rightful place, a cramped mould ridden maisonette administered by a sadistic estate agent and the sort of landlord that sees the death of one of their tenants as "a real headache."
And like any flatshare, the team are invited to the "house WhatsApp" on their arrival. But why?
And what dastardly villain would come up with such an unrelentingly bleak concept for an escape room?
Mike. Mike would. And he'd do all the voices, too.

Tuck into some Snail Porridge at Heston F***ing Blumenthal's legally different pub as Ben and Jamie try to make sense of last weeks room. Topics include the psychological harm caused by Anosmia, favourite smells (petrol, bacon), the dangers of writing puzzles with similar ingredients and then relying on the team to distinguish between them, and the Victorian pleasure of Snorting Mummies.
Yep, you read that right.

It's only taken five years but Jon has finally managed to start a recording ahead of time. It lasts thirty seconds and immeadiately fails. This is followed by an intro section that goes completely out of sequence and one of the most obscure puzzles we've ever done. There are no locks, no keys or codes. All that's needed is the answer to a simple question. What's wrong with Heston?
 
This episode features Jon, Jamie, Ben and even Jon's wife Sinead providing some piano for the ending.
