Escape This Podcast

NOTE: The image of the cards used in this episode is linked below, as well as the full room write-up so you can play/run the room yourself! We return to stand-alone rooms with the start of season 5! In this room, two amateur magicians go backstage to meet their magical idol, but soon find themselves trapped in a door-less room filled with tricks, traps, and torment. We're joined this episode by magician, actor, and puzzle fan Neil Patrick Harris. As big fans of Neil's work, it was wonderful to find out he was a fan of ours, and then punish him by locking him in a small room for an hour.

For those unaware, Dani and Bill have played through a few murder mysteries over on our patreon. In these episodes, Dani takes a public domain murder mystery story and Bill plays through it in the role of the detective. In this episode, Dani has created a completely original murder mystery, and Bill tries his hand at solving it. It's a sort of proof-of-concept episode for what could be a new weekly, freely available show from Escape This Podcast. This episode is quite long, and would likely be edited into 4 weekly release episodes were it its own thing.

Back in 2018 the lovely people over at Hypotheticast got in contact with us to see if they could play one of our escape games as an episode of their show. We of course said yes, and they released a fantastic playthrough of our second episode: Saving Razorface. And now it's 2019, so please enjoy this strange, layered, podception episode in which we host an episode of another podcast's version of one of our podcasts...

This week, Dani and Bill sit down to match wits in a game of Trivial Pursuit (40th Anniversary Edition)!

It's done. Michelle's ghost has been settled, and the terrible actions of the Culloden patriarch exposed.

Even this broken fountain sounds almost like mocking laughter. Who is Michelle? What's in the room the weather vane pointed to? What's going on in this house? Our penultimate chapter sees a new set of Cullodens follow the trail our last guests left to the master bedroom of this spooky manor.  We're joined this episode by Neal, Matt, and Jeff from the Triviality Podcast.

Groundskeeper Willie? No, I'm his cousin, Gravedigger Billy. With the revelation of last chapter, Bill the historian is eager to find out the last secrets these "ghosts" are hiding. With renewed zeal and two new Cullodens, it's time to enter the manor and get to the bottom of this. Our Cullodens enter the manor, only to quickly exit again and find themselves in the garden outside. With a gravelly ghost, some hated apples, and some rather dangerous plant life, these puzzle solvers will have their hands full.
