The Infinite Escape Room

Join us in this week's pubisode, where we discuss all things TERPECA (The Top Escape Room Project, Enthusiasts Choice Awards). For the last few years, producer Mairi has also been the UK Ambassador for TERPECA, and as this year's season is in full swing, what better time to chat about what it is, how it works, how it might be improved, and it's impact on the escape room industry as a whole. As always, here are your recommendations for this month. Jon - All The Light We Cannot See by Anthony Doerr (book), a non-linear book set during World War II. Mairi - S by Doug Dorst and JJ Abrams (book), an ergodic literature puzzle book set around the Ship of Theseus. Mike - Mewgenics (video game), a tactical turn-based roguelike videogame, a little hilarious, a little gruesome.

Join us in this week's pubisode...(when Jon finally gets the intro right) the Jersey Republican, where robots sip their oily brews and poke captive humans with sticks.

Join us in this week's pubisode, in the "local pub" which has been taken over by a massive brewery corporation, and so now also serves coffees. Following on from Jon's double bill of TIERtubbies, we're discussing the British Kids TV Shows of our childhoods. As always, here are your recommendations for this month. Jon - Klara and the Sun by Kazuo Ishiguro (book), about an artificial friend called Klara that is bought by a woman for her daughter Mairi - Jordan Bolton (artist) who makes short panel comics of thoughts on life and friendships and relationships and death, especially Scenes from Imagined Films. Mike - Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 (game), unashamedly French with excellent voice acting, plot, graphics, the lot. Jamie - Undertone (film), a horror film themed around a podcast that touches upon dark kids nursery rhymes. No jump scares, but unnerving sinisterness throughout.
