Pubisode Discussion: Is escaping enough any more?

Join us in this week's 'cafe-isode' at Squeaky Cream's Artisanal Fromagery and Coffee Roastery, where instead of coffee foam they serve cappuccinos with a dollop of gorgonzola.

Here we'll be reflecting on a big question in the escape room industry: Is escaping "enough" anymore? Or do you have another core central mechanic? How about inserting other mechanics into rooms, such as achievements and side games? What makes a room memorable?

As always, here are your recommendations for this month.

Jamie - The Rest is Science (podcast), an accessible and fun science podcast that tackles questions of life and the universe.

Bailey - Museum of Pop Culture with Josh Widdicombe (podcast) that is about exactly that - moments in pop culture history!

Hosts: Mike Collins, Jamie Gibbs, Emma Bailey
