You are in a state of crisis, the puzzle pieces before you make no sense. No answers come to you, no logic pervades, no inspiration. What do you do?

Well if this episode is anything to go by, you pee on it. And then expectantly ask the GM whether that "does anything."

With teams like these, who needs enemies.

This episode features Annekoos, Ben and Jon.

Special thanks this episode to Lena Orsa, for the Epic Cinematic Music that Jon glorifies amateurism to at the top of the show.

Gather ye round, settle down, grab a beer and listen in as I chat with David Spira and Peih-Gee Law of Reality Escape Pod about last week's episode - The Wicker Plan.

We also touch on why David and PG enjoy leaving one another for dead, we chat about the difficulties of switching you brain between game mode and story mode in an escape room, and we get a little insight into how they make REPOD.

Check out Reality Escape Pod and say hi to David at @roomscapeartist and Peih-Gee at @peihgee.

We're joined this week by David Spira and Peih-Gee Law of Reality Escape Pod, where they have to work their way out of a burning wicker man where everything is designed to kill them.

• Fire in the feet
• Bees in the arms
• Pollen in the head

It's a nightmare.

Here's a handout if you want to play along:

• Wicker man schematic

And remember - don't snort bees, kids. It'll mess you up.

Your solvers this week were David Spira and Peih-Gee Law.

Game design and hosting by Jamie Gibbs.

Join Annekoos, Bailey, Mike and Aled as they sip their overpriced tipples in The Garrick Club, Jon's natural home. We kick off by discussing the great injustices of Jon's previous room (chief among them that he inadvertently told them not to bother taking notes). Topics of digression then include Overengineered Light Switches, Corporate Flunkies, The Rise of Clickbait Journalism, The Capabilities of The Scorpion and The Death Of Self. Standard night at the pub, then.

Mike's back! And what an absolute hellscape he's returned to! He joins Annekoos, Aled, and Bailey as they wrangle another Jon shaped disaster of misdirection. Tune in and listen to them slowly go mad as they try to figure out who's on top, and what top is, exactly.

Join us at The Golden Streak where Dom, Ben and I chat about last week's episode, try to name a Jason Statham film Ben's actually seen, and chat about the current trend for bullshit documentaries.

This week's recommendations (gods help me)

• Bodies (Netflix)

• Stainless steel (you heard that right)

• The act of swimming (yup, it's one of those episodes)

After a marathon full length escape room Annekoos and Aled join Jon in the vaults of The Counting House. We pick over the bones of The Heist, delve into the affect that the medium of delivery has on the difficulty of different puzzles, reflect on the inherently self defeating nature of late stage capitalism and then talk about Anne of Green Gables.

Standard night out in your thirties, basically.
