Pubisode: Challenge Arcades with Chris Dickson
C
4:48Chris DicksonGUEST
I am really interested in the puzzle hunt tradition of the late 20th century and that carries on in a bigger format today.
C
5:01Chris DicksonGUEST
That has been commercialized and commercially successful as a form of it has been in terms of escape rooms for most of the 21st century.
C
5:13Chris DicksonGUEST
Escape rooms are lovely, but they suffer from the problem that only one team can play them at once for most of them.
C
5:21Chris DicksonGUEST
We can go into discussions, pipeline into games and so forth later.
C
5:25Chris DicksonGUEST
And they also suffer the issue that once you play them once, it takes a really special game for you to want to go back and play it a second time.
C
5:34Chris DicksonGUEST
But this in mind, some people who've made a lot of escape rooms have been playing around with the format in order to try and get something where they can get more people playing at once and they can get people coming back and playing the same game more and more times and trying to get better at improving it.
C
5:51Chris DicksonGUEST
And one of the ways they have found to solve this is a genre of games that...

So we're talking about escape arcades here.

K
13:58Karlyn BatheHOST

Yeah.
J
14:04John KellyGUEST
Maybe I'll try it one day, but I'm just not sure if I would like it.
K
14:35Karlyn BatheHOST
The best one that I've done that I won't repeat that I have.
K
14:38Karlyn BatheHOST
that i can share is in time square there's a room called the yeti so if you just look up the yeti time square it's an escape room and you're literally on like an everest expedition and it's like meant to look like you're like in the mountains in the cold and like one of our first things spoiler you have to throw snowballs to like do a thing to make this thing move to like get into the next room Way off topic.
K

Top 10 Games from 2016
T
48:39Tom VaselHOST
But that's because on my top 100 list, I often don't put one and done games like the legacy games.
T
48:45Tom VaselHOST

T
49:04Tom VaselHOST
That's probably my favorite one.

44:09PaulHOST
supposed to be here but he's not here
M
44:11MattHOST
yeah um yeah so uh if you like uh you saw ripoff movies then you're probably gonna love this one and it's for you thanks a lot bye okay fine um and then yeah so we've got this movie called labyrinth which basically is you see a kind of montage of all these kind of people getting kidnapped and put in a room and you think oh it's gonna be it's gonna be a saw movie it's not an out and out saw ripoff because it doesn't really have loads of traps in it it has different other different scenarios like escape room maybe Yeah, totally.
M
44:47MattHOST
A bit more like Escape Room because it's more like a few rooms than a labyrinth.
M
44:53MattHOST
But Tommy Flanagan is the kind of main, let's say, jigsaw of it all.
M
44:58MattHOST
And he's basically talking them through what they've got to do and what the rules are.

Okay.
C
33:22Cousin JakeHOST
Escape Rooms, yeah.
A
33:23Ahmir ThompsonHOST
So I use Escape the Rooms as kind of a... a low key kind of tester for people.
A
33:32Ahmir ThompsonHOST
Like this shows me who they are in terms of how do you work in groups, how do you solve problems, how smart you are, how patient you are, how you strategize.

Bill and Ty Discuss "Egbert Comes On Aboard"
B
2:00Bill SunderlandGUEST
Well, it's interesting because I didn't necessarily still want to play it like I would an audio escape room.
B
2:09Bill SunderlandGUEST
So I was still hesitant to do a vague check.
B
2:14Bill SunderlandGUEST
Often with audio escape rooms, a big part of it is you find a barrier, you acknowledge that there's no way to get through the barrier until you have solved some puzzle.
B
2:23Bill SunderlandGUEST
And then you go through, you collect every bit of information that you have access to, and then you use all that to try and solve it.
B
2:29Bill SunderlandGUEST
And I was sort of loathed to do that in this setting because while that is quite a fun thing to do with escape rooms, it is inherently not necessarily a character driven thing to do.
B
2:39Bill SunderlandGUEST
The idea that I'd be like, I really want to get into the captain's quarters.
B
2:41Bill SunderlandGUEST
Why don't I go to the front of the ship and check this? Now I'm going to look under here.

Welcome to Podcast This Escape, the podcast where we talk about the escape room we escaped from in the previous episode of this podcast.
D
0:23DaniHOST
Catherine, are we a ghost? Am I a squirrel ghost? Normally we get to say we did it, we escaped.
D
0:30DaniHOST
We didn't escape, we died in a terrible fire.
K
1:57KatherineGUEST
said,
D
1:58DaniHOST
it's incredibly balanced.
K
2:01KatherineGUEST
I very much have to like, figure that out in all of the escape rooms I do because the ones I do for the library, we're like in the room with them.
K
2:11KatherineGUEST
And I don't want them to feel like they're not having the experience, but then also like, I don't want them to get so frustrated that they just don't have fun.
505. Top 5 Harry Potter Things to Bring to the Universal Parks
A
53:59Alex CarrejoHOST
go
J
53:59Joe SlionskiHOST
there's an illusion for that that they could do somewhere yeah that would be funny all right cool stuff i feel like we got a lot of ideas going here we're only two in number three number three this is probably like my biggest um addition in the sense that like they don't have it at all so you'd be have you totally have to add this this is a completely unique kind of a thing um but i think it would be really awesome to create legit harry potter escape rooms that you can do with your friends that are interactive and at different locations in the series and just running off my head escape i know there's a ride escape gringotts bank but you can turn that into an escape room uh malfoy manor locked up in the in the in the dungeon department of mysteries get out of the department of mysteries um you know one of the more i guess child-friendly ones privet drive escape privet drive or escape uh the cupboard under the stairs or harry's bedroom or whatever The burrow, the love good home, grim old place.
J
55:02Joe SlionskiHOST
Maybe you get trapped in time and you got to escape time if they want to do something crazy like that.
J
55:07Joe SlionskiHOST
But just taking these really popular locations and being able to host a group of however many people in a room and and they need to quote unquote magically escape the room and it doesn't have to be like a full hour like like normal escape rooms are but it could be like a 20 minute thing that can be more than just a room maybe it's multiple rooms like if you were doing the department of mysteries set it up like the department of mysteries with the circular room and the multiple doors and you got to go in you got to go out you got to find your way out Just something that is interactive and, again, like a livable kind of space that makes you feel like you're really in the Wizarding World.
J
55:49Joe SlionskiHOST
I think those are the really cool aspects of these parks and why this series is so popular, because it's such an escape.
J
55:59Joe SlionskiHOST
And to be able to do something where you feel
A
56:36Alex CarrejoHOST
that's a great idea um and i didn't think of anything close to that so i would be so on board to do as many of those as i could
B
56:44Brent AllenHOST
my family and i are big big big escape room folks like we struggle finding new ones and around that we haven't done yet and i would love every single one of those I feel like that would be something more at like a city walk, not necessarily inside the parks proper, but you put that building outside, like in city walk.
