What better way to round off our second Halloween season than by being handcuffed and chained up in the freezer of an axe-murdering chef? I don't even know if that's a rhetorical question. We go back to Rotofobia in Rotorua to tackle a slasher horror and to investigate a crucial mystery: #WHEREARETHEEYEBALLS?

Content note: There is some discussion of cannibalism in this episode

We were solving cryptic questions in a cocktail baaarrrr! Well, we did it a few weeks back when we recorded this episode. And then we went into a lockdown. So enjoy the youthful, playful flavour of two people who had been outside for fun to go to a place with other people. Enjoy the booth booth booth booth booth, the sassy cop, and the 51-piece puzzle from hell.

Halloween season has returned... from THE GRAVE! That's right, it's the most wonderful time of the year, featuring hauntings, frights, horrors, and your two favourite thots (That Halloween-escape-room-podcaster Over There).

We start with Escapist's new witchy room Tabby Lane. Can we save our cat? Is Agatha our aunt? What's that in the top right corner of the post-it note? Will we ever get more biscotti?

After a brief hiatus, we reconvene with two friends, Ellie Featherston (of Out Of Our Vulcan Minds) and previous guest Sophia Halpin, to discuss Escape Hamilton's first international room, involving a heist at the Bank of Australia in Sydney. In 1920! And a failure to identify where keys go. In 2021! Plus: which way is the one way in a one-way mirror?

After a brief hiatus, Season 2 continues by returning to a room from Season 1! The team at Confinement have revised, refreshed and retackled their murder mystery room Murdoch Manor, and we were thrilled to have a chance to see what they've done with the place. But most importantly, this episode marks our entry into competitive food eating. No, really.

Yeeee-haw! Well howdy there folks, won't you gather round while Jim and Kirsty tell you the tale of how they escaped the clutches of the wiley ol' sheriff who was tryna lock them up in the town's saloon? They have a good ol' fashioned chinwag about callie bawlies, Finnish swears, and make a grand promise about a lump of cordite.

We head to Kirsty's old stomping grounds of Rotorua, to try an escape room with a very unique premise: it's a strip club! The clue's in the title, really. Listen to this episode to find out how it compares to the real thing, to marvel at how awkward Jim gets when talking about... rude things... and to work out how NASA's smellologist figures into all this.
