    You're SSACT!
    Jul 5 2026

    Have you heard? Aliens have made first contact with us!

    ...And who better to decipher the message from the stars than a seasoned podcasting trio who are experts in not only puzzle solving, but also audio communication and perhaps most importantly: diplomacy. Thanks to the Super Sophisticated Alien Communication Terminal (or SSACT for short).

    These beings have travelled billions of lightyears to impart an important message... I wonder what it'll be?

    In this episode, you can also play along on your own SSACT device here.

  • Pubisode Discussion: Is escaping enough any more?

    Pubisode Discussion: Is escaping enough any more?
    Jun 14 2026

    Join us in this week's 'cafe-isode' at Squeaky Cream's Artisanal Fromagery and Coffee Roastery, where instead of coffee foam they serve cappuccinos with a dollop of gorgonzola.

    Here we'll be reflecting on a big question in the escape room industry: Is escaping "enough" anymore? Or do you have another core central mechanic? How about inserting other mechanics into rooms, such as achievements and side games? What makes a room memorable?

    As always, here are your recommendations for this month.

    Jamie - The Rest is Science (podcast), an accessible and fun science podcast that tackles questions of life and the universe.

    Bailey - Museum of Pop Culture with Josh Widdicombe (podcast) that is about exactly that - moments in pop culture history!

    Mike - Ade Edmondson's Beserker! (book), a fantastic read from a national treasure.

Just love listening to this podcast, as a fan of escape rooms and puzzles and fun :) The team differs every time, and they all just complement each other and enjoy themselves which is wonderful to hear.

I love hearing the whacky and eclectic places they end up having to escape from and the weird and wonderful challenges they have to face.

Also love the little "edit asides" and bonus content. Such fun and takes you on a magical journey every time.

Absolutely brilliant
