The Infinite Escape Room

This very special episode of The Infinite Escape Room is brought to you from Jamie's house in Wales... ...Or rather, Year 10 work experience at a local hospital! A somewhat universal experience for British kids. Their surgeon mentor promptly injects himself with anaesthetic, collapses on the operating table, and leaves them locked in the surgery room with only one way out: perform a laparoscopic cholecystectomy (gallbladder removal) to escape. It's only a puzzling podcast, we're not saving lives here. Or are we? Puzzle Maestro: Mike Collins Solvers: Jamie Gibbs, Emma Bailey Episode Art: Dom Jordan Editor: Mike Collins TLDR: The solvers perform a gallbladder removal using surgical tools including a laparoscope and forceps and solve a puzzle with musical notes.   Come and chat to us on Facebook, Instagram, BlueSky and LinkedIn.

Discussions and spoiler-free reviews of our recent trip to Nottingham, UK to play six escape rooms, as well as some shenanigans that happened along the way.

Very nearly the quickest solve we've ever had!   In the final regular episode from our Nottingham AirBnB recording, Jon takes the helm and delivers, without notes, what he believes to be a deceptively simple yet fiendish death trap puzzle...only for Jamie to figure it out within seconds. It isn't the fastest solve we've had but it came damn close. Puzzle Maestro: Jon Saunders Solvers: Mike Collins, Jamie Gibbs, Mairi Nolan Episode Art: Dom Jordan Editor: Jon Saunders TLDR: The solvers find themselves inside a suspended cage, accompanied by dozens of rats. To leave means death, but the only means of escape is outside the cage.   Come and chat to us on Facebook, Instagram, BlueSky and LinkedIn.

Somewhere in this room there's a secret! Go get up and find it! Or as I like to call it: The one in which Jamie hosts an audio escape room set in an airBNB, whilst recording from the airBNB, in which we have to get up and find actual hidden things in the airBNB. It's airBNBception in here. Will the solvers untie the knots in Notts in time? (K)not likely! Puzzle Maestro: Jamie Gibbs Solvers: Mike Collins, Jon Saunders, Mairi Nolan Episode Art: Dom Jordan Editor: Jamie Gibbs TLDR: The solvers find a physical locked box covered in knots, and have to solve the puzzles to open the box and recover the secret wine.     Come and chat to us on Facebook, Instagram, BlueSky and LinkedIn.

Join us deep within Robin's Hole, where it's time to pull up a cozy armchair and discuss this week's pubisode topic: When should escape rooms retire? We reflect on some of the recent real-life escape rooms we've played together in Nottingham and discuss the lifecycle of an escape room. How long should an escape room be open for? When should it be updated? When should it be retired? And how might an escape room's life be increased? If you're an owner, when do you retire your rooms? As always, here are your recommendations for this month. Jamie - Tears of Metal (videogame), think Dynasty Warriors, a comic book art style but set in medieval Scotland. Mairi - The Fall (film), a trippy fairy tale of an adventure film. Jon - The documentaries of Adam Curtis, and in particular, HyperNormalisation. Mike - Knitting! In the background of whatever you're doing... And I quote: "It keeps your naughty hands busy" Hosts: Mike Collins, Mairi Nolan, Jon Saunders, Jamie Gibbs Editor: Jamie Gibbs   Come and chat to us on Facebook, Instagram, BlueSky and LinkedIn.
