Friends and enemies of The Infinite Escape Room, We’ve made the difficult, but temporary, decision to take a hiatus from making episodes of The Infinite Escape Room podcast. The reason is that all four of us are in different stages of life than when we started this podcast seven years ago. [1/6]

What do the gang do as soon as the room starts? They only go and bloody split up! I ended up tracking their movements using Lego pieces on a battle map, D&D style. It was a lot of fun to run this one

Publish podcast episode. Go out for the day. Realise there's 3 minutes of random music accidentally slotted into a conversation that dominates the audio. It's gonna be that kind of Sunday . #podcasteditorproblems

Puzzles are my love language

Well, that escalated

I love these discussion episodes!

Why I Love Enamel Pins As Escape Room Swag How to do escape room pins right.

As a puzzle designer, I 100% agree with this. As a fairly lazy procrastinator with imposter syndrome, I 500% agree with this.

The UK needs Ren Faires. Not a half-arsed historical themed market - I want a full day or two of semi-larping, whimsy and frolicking. We have the castles already.

Really enjoyed this arc!

This was excellent fun!

Lorraine Kelly holding a jelly? What madness is this?! It's "Richard Osman's House of Games" meets "Obama Llama" in Bailey's puzzle that pits our solvers against several celebrity rhymes. Tune in now wherever you get your podcasts! linktr.ee/theinfinitee...

This was so much fun! If we ever do a live show we'll have to have an element of this added in.

Spreading the word about this so I count as having contributed to its creation, just in case.

Are you even an escape room puzzle designer if you don't have a dubious search history? Tonight's design stint has such queries as "Portaloo interior images" and "does UVC cause skin damage?" #gamedesign

The gang have been kidnapped by the Post-Apocalyptic Warrior King Ozman Richards (similar to but legally distinct from Richard Osman) and made to play in his Sinister House of Death Games. Tune in now wherever you get your podcasts! linktr.ee/theinfinitee... #theinfiniteescaperoom

What a bloody lovely bunch

A spot of light reading / sleuthing while on the bus to London to meet with the @infiniteescaperoom.bsky.social gang in real life for the first time!

I'd love to see a #TTRPG inspired by the #BBCghosts show, all set in a soecific location and where character's skills are based on what era you died (and by what method). Does anything similar exist?

Riffing off the other solvers while GMing is so much fun, and often leads to some of the funniest moments of the episode (especially when things go awry!)

The Infinite Escape Room's first full in-person meetup is coming soon! We'll be heading on a London jolly next week to play some escape rooms, have a few drinks and generally wreak havoc on Old London Town.

I'd love to see an analog horror puzzle game set on a set of old Ceefax pages. Every page is a 3 digit code so there are so many possibilities. Corrupt AI Bamboozled mam, anyone?
