With the team's outback getaway driver KO-ed outside the toilet, the team find themselves stranded in the outback, 45 minutes before their flight from "Australia Airport" leaves. Time is of the essence, and in this special the solvers will have a shared 45-minutes to solve across both parts of the Outback Odyssey arc.
But before they can get back on the road they'll have to get through dozens and dozens of gnomes... in various state of undress (Jamie's exact words, not mine). Somewhere among these gnomes the key to escape lies. It's time to lock in and-
"Gnome more Mr. Nice Guy".

TLDR: The first episode in the Outback Odyssey arc takes place in a field of gnomes in the Australian outback, featuring anagrams, rude gnome gestures, and a locked toilet.

The Desert of Wee Reborn
This is the final week of our two-week summer break, where we recharge our puzzle batteries. But we won't leave you empty handed - here's a director's cut edition of a classic episode with new editing, music, SFX and commentary.
This episode initially aired a little later than normal due to some technical gremlins, which meant it didn't get a fair shake before the following week's episode came in and pushed it out of the feed (people love that fresh content, yo).
And it's a particularly fiendish puzzle from Mike that also uses a hefty amount of learning theory. Mike pulled a sneaky on us and had us doing a team building exercise (le gasp!).
The original recording was 2 hours long. So as a special treat, here's a re-edited version along with the puzzle debrief and additional commentary from me (Jamie).
Grab a glass of warm urine and join us as we attempt to escape the desert with a surprisingly Northern sounding Bear Grylls. Will we select the correct five items to enable our escape? And what's with that Morse Code, anyway?
Special thanks to Patreon supporters Rachel, Howlfin and Will for making this episode possible.

GroundFarce Reborn
This is the start of our two-week summer break, where we recharge our puzzle batteries. But we won't leave you empty handed - here's a director's cut edition of a classic episode with new editing, music, SFX and commentary.
Sometimes, an episode as such an impact on us that we talk about it months or even years later. Groundfarce is one of those episodes. What started out as a simple spatial puzzle quickly devolved into a mud slinging match with zingers such as "Left isn't a cardinal direction!" and "I've left the shed and my eyes appear to have stopped working".
We cut a fair amount from the episode in the original airing because things got a little heated. But as a special treat, here's the whole thing with additional commentary from me (Jamie).
Grab your trowel and bring a map as Jon takes us through a surprisingly complex English garden puzzle.

Accessibility in Audio Escape Rooms - At The Consume This Beer-dia Hotel feat. Escape This Podcast
Does adapting escape rooms to audio make them more accessible … or more exclusive? Join Jamie, Mairi and special guests Dani and Bill from Escape This Podcast as we discuss accessibility in game design and what it means for creating escape rooms of the ears, the eyes, and all the senses.
Why a hotel? Turns out Australia has an interesting drinking culture around hotels, but you'll just have to listen to find out more about that.
As always, we come to you with some recommendations for the month ahead. They are:
Mairi - Signing up to vote in this year's TERPECAs. Or just using the site to find some cool escape rooms near you.
Bill - Novelty Automation in London, UK. A museum collection of satirical, home-made arcade machines.
Dani - Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, and in particular pay attention to it's clever feeding of information in character dialogue.
Jamie - Another podcast: Today in History! Which does exactly what it says on the tin. Short, snappy episodes about what happened on that day in history.

No, YOU escape THIS Podcast: The Recording Studio feat. Escape This Podcast
In the most long overdue cross-over since Eastenders made a Bastard episode with Neighbours (true story), we finally welcome our natural ancestors from Escape This Podcast and take them... to their own studio. But all is not well, they are locked out, Jon has beaten them to it and is about to takeover the (podcast) world.
Join Mairi, Jamie, special guests Dani and Bill from Escape This Podcast and a very, very special cameo, as they try to take down the plummy giant, Lilliput style.
