  • Nerdy in all the best ways

    Always smart, always accessible, and always fun. The dynamic between David and Peih-Gee is great, and they continue to bring in a fascinating assortment of creative people as guests. It is often (although not always) focused on escape rooms, but I think the insights and ideas would be valuable to anybody interested in any type of immersive entertainment.
