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?

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.

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?

"Do you expect us to talk about something that isn't an escape room?" "No, I expect you to die." That's right, we're doing a videogame! Agent A is a delightful new(-ish) creation from studio Yak & Co that blends both videogame and escape room alike. We play a spy at the top of his game (not necessarily at the top of ours) trying to escape the top-secret bunker of a rival agent. It's all good clean fun.
