  • Here’s what you do sent me!

    Oh my word, I love this podcast so much! I have been binge listening to the extent that I have started taking on an Aussie accent. For a Saffie this is devastating, but totally worth it. I am yet to actually sit down and try and solve a room, but just listening to Bill and Dani solve it with their guests is like sitting back and listening to friends do all the heavy lifting while they entertain you. Thank you for the incredible effort you put into doing these!

  • Love it!

    This podcast is just the best. Bill and Dani are delightful people who create a fun, supportive atmosphere where people can be silly and solve puzzles. They are so creative (Dani’s rooms and Bill’s music and silly bits) and amazing at community-building among people who love puzzles and roleplaying.
