I have a confession to make. It’s something I’ve known for years, but only recently have I really acknowledged and embraced it. I have an addiction to game night. I love that feeling of matching wits with your friends, cheering when someone has come up with a particularly brilliant bit of wordplay, or cry-laughing when something has been horrendously botched.

Today we are reposting David’s appearance on The ESCAPUZZLED Podcast. This UK-based escape room podcast explores all aspects of the industry. Podcast hosts Corey and Helena did a wonderful job interviewing David who, upon getting off of the recording said to me, “I felt like I didn’t shut up… I’m so used to asking questions and putting the focus on others.” The episode is very David, and I had a lot of fun listening to him talk about our journey on their show.

This month there was so much to write that it didn’t always fit in one piece! I highly recommend Ryan’s 2-part exploration of Immersive Fort Tokyo and Richard’s 3-part series on Escape Rooms As A Performer’s Medium. Plus, we just started publishing content from our recent trip to Athens… but the reviews are still to come. If you love escape rooms, come join our Patreon community. We have a lively ongoing discussion in our Patreon channel in the REA discord.
