We interview Toronto bloggers Escapers 4G!
In this episode we talk about the the composition of an Enthusiast Escape Team, creating spreadsheets of team member skills, and awkward moments.
The parody was a suggestion from E4G, and is the first duet on this podcast sung with Si Mui.
SPOILER ALERT: We talk about a room which is no longer in operation, in particular Lock Quest. If you do not wish to hear about this room which no longer exists, you can skip this podcast.
Ok, folks! The divas talk about how they've been really stupid in the room.
And Ruby does a rant. It was glorious. There was a bit of racism too. Not from Ruby though.
And Errol is still doing parodies. He doesn't know how long he can keep that up.
Mentioned in this podcast:
Room Escape Review Reviewer - Doesn't get more meta! It's awesome! They review Escape Room Reviews!
Recorded May 23, 2015, the Divas talk about their experiences and opinions about reviewing escape rooms. They are outside enjoying the fresh air and the sounds of birds, planes, and house construction.
Manda also does a rant because Errol feels he's ranting a bit too much as of late.
The Divas play Escape Rooms with Scott Nicholson and meet up with him where he teaches at the Brantford Games Network Lab, Wilfrid Laurier University in Brantford, Ontario, Canada.
They discuss BreakoutEdu, escape room game design, the future of escape rooms, and really old video game nostalgia.
Scott is a huge fan of Disney and blacklights, and thus this week's parody.

In our first episode we introduce ourselves and stay...mostly on track.
Topics (when we manage to stay on topic) include ourselves, the evolution of the escape room in Toronto (where we are from!), our own project Canadian Caper, and our transition from eager newbie to overly-critical diva.
Join us and comment about topics that you would like to discuss!
