It's the second in our series of Nursery Crimes, as the gang try and navigate the murky murderous world of Grandfather Story and solve the murder of the three blind mice.

This week, Mairi takes Dom and Mike to the most exclusive restaurant in town, where they find themselves serving a very hungry customerpillar.

Part of the Nursery Crimes series, released in time for World Book Day.

This week Mike leads Mairi and Dom into Grandfather Story's adorable watercolour world...to solve a murder most gruesome and avoid a fate most cannibalistic. This is how we got ants.

That and the egg everywhere, as the gang try and piece together what happened to Humpty Dumpty, and why they should be so bothered about the emotional state of a stick...

This episode is releasing a few days early to coincide with World Book Day. Because cuteness.

A few months ago we were guests on the Escapuzzled podcast with Corey and Helena. The original, booze filled episode was over 2 hours long (the recording was twice that again!). Here's the second half of that interview, where we go into the puzzle making process, designing games for audio and generally how we embrace chaos in all we do.

Enjoy!

This week, Mike poses the question: Is player cognitive load a help or a hindrance when designing escape rooms?

We also chat about Mairi's secret connection to the Chocolate Orange fortune, and round out the night with our recommendations for books, games and other podcasts.

It's America's Got Talent meets Crufts in this week's escape room from Mairi.

Mike, Jamie and Bailey don their sequined leotards and prove that you can teach an old human new tricks as they puzzle their way to the stage to impress the intimidating Simon Howl.

It's Planet of the Apes! Except with dogs instead of apes. They wear clothes and have jobs and everything.

This week, Mike, Mairi and Bailey are confined to the People Park before their imminent destruction for crimes against the Canine Imperium. But one of their fellow humans has left a clue that could help them make their escape...

Having narrowly escaped the opening and closing scenes of Gravity, the gang sit down for a lovely chat at the pub with Corey and Helena from Escapuzzled.

They'll show us how to answer quick fire questions quickly and on fire, talk about the Escapuzzled project, and chat puzzles and escaping in their experience and the wider industry.

We're joined once more by Corey and Helena from Escapuzzled, as we try to get through Mike's shonkily equipped lab to the AliExpress ISS escape pod.

Can the gang figure out Mike's fiendish pollution based puzzle, and uncover the true identity of PunPun the Panda? Not without some EditorMike apologies along the way...enjoy!
