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!
In this episode, we're joined by Marcus Richardson and Nathan Hicken, the fantastic hosts of the murder mystery podcast Aurelius Whitlock's Murder Museum.

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..?

You have been eaten alive by an irradiated Koala. What a day. But don't worry, there's a pub in here! Join Jamie, Aled, Mike and Bailey as they reflect on a question that should haunt the dreams of more Escape Room designers than it probably does - What is a puzzle?
AND THAT'S NOT ALL. A prize draw. A real one. With a real prize. Well, two, actually, but one of them will probably go a bit funny before it reaches the winner.
Also, our recommendations for this month:
As always, we closed out the episode with some handpicked recommendations from the team:
Bailey – TreeAppPlant a tree a day for free by watching short ads—an easy way to support global reforestation.
Aled – Piper AlleyBagpipe covers of metal songs. Yes, it's weird. Yes, it's brilliant.
Mike – Hardspace: ShipbreakerA relaxing puzzle-like space salvage sim with corporate dystopia vibes. Great on Steam Deck.
Mike – Slow Horses by Mick HerronA witty, gritty spy thriller about MI5’s least wanted. Also a TV series starring Gary Oldman.
Jamie – Maniac (Steam)GTA-style, top-down bullet hell chaos. Perfect for blowing off steam in 20-minute bursts.

This week's episode is Round 3 of The House of Death Games, where the team have to escape Ozman Richards' dungeon together, but it's everyone for themselves in solving his sinister challenges - Wonky Biscuit, Seven Deadly Films and Rhyme Crime!
Jamie opens the episode by strapping a ball gag into his mouth, the team re-enact the Vicar of Dibley soundtrack but substituting The Lord for Cocaine and Bailey cracks her knuckles and absolutely slaughters the rest of the team. But will it be enough to bring her victory in Ozman Richards' (similar to but legally distinct Richard Osman) post-apocalyptic House of Death Games?
Pop another Koala on the Barbie Bruce!

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!
