What is a puzzle?

from The Infinite Escape Room Hosted by Mike Collins, Jon Saunders, Jamie Gibbs, Mairi Nolan

You have been eaten alive by an irradiated Koala. What a day. But don't worry, there's a pub in here! Join Jamie, Aled, Mike and Bailey as they reflect on a question that should haunt the dreams of more Escape Room designers than it probably does - What is a puzzle? AND THAT'S NOT ALL. A prize draw. A real one. With a real prize. Well, two, actually, but one of them will probably go a bit funny before it reaches the winner. Also, our recommendations for this month: As always, we closed out the episode with some handpicked recommendations from the team: Bailey – TreeApp Plant a tree a day for free by watching short ads—an easy way to support global reforestation. Aled – Piper Alley Bagpipe covers of metal songs. Yes, it's weird. Yes, it's brilliant. Mike – Hardspace: Shipbreaker A relaxing puzzle-like space salvage sim with corporate dystopia vibes. Great on Steam Deck. Mike – Slow Horses by Mick Herron A witty, gritty spy thriller about MI5’s least wanted. Also a TV series starring Gary Oldman. Jamie – Maniac (Steam) GTA-style, top-down bullet hell chaos. Perfect for blowing off steam in 20-minute bursts.
