Quinns from People Make Games (s12e7)
“Games don't need to fit neatly into a category to be meaningful.” Games come in all shapes and sizes. Some happen around a table, some have you opening locks in a room, and others invite you to step into a completely different world and become someone else. But what connects all these experiences? The joy of playing together. Quintin "Quinns" Smith has spent much of his career exploring "play" in all its many forms. Quinns co-founded the board game review site Shut Up & Sit Down. He's a presenter for People Make Games, a YouTube video game journalism channel. More recently, he created Quinn's Quest, a YouTube channel exploring the world of tabletop role playing games. He joins us on REPOD to talk about all the connective tissue between these games.

Scott Nicholson, Professor of Play (s12e6)
In the early 2010s, escape rooms were still a relatively new form of entertainment. Besides Room Escape Artist, there weren't many other places online or in-person for players to connect. Professor Scott Nicholson played an important role in changing that. Scott is the founder of the original global escape room community, the Escape Room Enthusiast group on Facebook. He's the very first tabletop gaming YouTuber, and also the first academic to research escape rooms.

The 13th Gate with Dwayne Sanburn (s12e5))
"With haunted houses, you're telling a story on the run." You cling to your friends as you creep through the slaughterhouse. The walls are slick beneath your fingertips and the air reeks of blood and rot. Somewhere nearby, a chainsaw roars to life. You thought it was just a show, but now you’re suddenly not so sure. At the 13th Gate, your deepest fears and darkest fantasies are brought to life in terrifying, cinematic detail. As the founder of the 13th Gate in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, Dwayne has spent 33 years creating haunted attractions and more than a decade building some of the most spectacular escape rooms in the world. The sets are massive, detailed, and ultra realistic. He even had caves and snake pits filled with live snakes. The secret weapon behind all this is a talented team of artists creating realistic sets that rival any movie studio. Dwayne is constantly committed to creating bigger, better, and newer scenes. Dwayne talks to us about building his haunted attraction, one of the largest in the country. After cutting his teeth building haunted house sets, he discovered escape rooms in 2015 and quickly realized he could put his talent for creating immersive worlds to work in a new way. And unlike haunted attractions, which are seasonal, escape rooms could operate year-round. I especially enjoyed hearing Dwayne discuss the importance of transitional spaces in a haunt and how they contribute to the storytelling. Storytelling in a haunted house is different from in an escape room because of the how little time the guests are spending in any one scene. Escape rooms, however, gave Dwayne a reason to incorporate more interactivity and weave in deeper narratives. David recounts how he and his wife Lisa visited the 13th Gate to play some escape rooms and suddenly found themselves thrust into the haunted house at Dwayne's urging. They left with some great stories about navigating the horror maze with a terrified family. We also talk about how 13th Gate Escape’s beautiful games deserve better post-game photos. (Dwayne, we’re still campaigning for taking those photos inside the games!) The 13th Gate has inspired countless escape room owners and creators to dream bigger and push the boundaries of immersive design. An icon of both the haunted attraction industry and the escape room world, it helped set the bar for what these experiences could become. This was a fascinating look behind the scenes at the 13th Gate. If you enjoyed this conversation, make sure to also check out our reviews of 13th Gate Escape.

Masquerade with Asher Young (s12e4)
"Everything is in service to the audience" You slip behind your mask and step into a world of decadence and mystery. As you're led through a lavish world inspired by The Phantom of the Opera, Broadway stars are singing their hearts out mere feet away, and iconic scenes unfold all around you. This is Masquerade. Masquerade is a blockbuster immersive theater production in New York City that filled the vacuum left behind by Sleep No More and Life & Trust. As David Spira notes in his review of Masquerade, "The actors were incredible... the show staff curated the experience for every audience member... and it was an impressive feat of logistics." Executive Producer and Creative Director of Masquerade Asher Young joins us on REPOD to chat about this fresh approach to a Broadway classic. Asher takes us behind the scenes of this enormous production, from transforming Lee's Art Shop, an iconic building in NYC, to designing around audience flow. I appreciated Asher's view on the importance of audience care, especially the discussion about the show's staff. Masquerade has "butlers" who ensure that everyone in the audience has a good view, even repositioning audience members for the best sightlines.

Japan's Puzzle Scene with Tokohal (s12e3)
"You need both frustration and happiness together to make a great game." Escape rooms may have originated in Japan, but the format has since spread around the world, evolving in fascinating ways along the way. Cultural preferences, design traditions, and local puzzle communities have all shaped what an escape room looks and feels like from country to country. Japanese puzzle designer and immersive experience creator Tokohal (pronounced Tokoharu) joins us on REPOD to take us inside the Japanese escape room and puzzle scene, sharing insights into its unique puzzle culture. Much of Japanese escape room and puzzle culture is designed around earning a hard-won victory. The idea is that struggling, getting stuck, and ultimately figuring something out makes the win all the sweeter. In Japan, they have a concept called ō-nazo, a style of puzzle that draws on elements introduced throughout an experience, bringing them together in a satisfying final reveal. Clever players who have been paying attention can make connections and experience hirameki, a Japanese term meaning "flash of inspiration." Many games build towards these hirameki endings, which can feel almost like a magic trick. Tokohal specializes in designing for the ō-nazo moment. He has created many escape room-style experiences for Japanese variety game shows featuring celebrities. He has also worked on immersive experiences for Alice in Borderlands and Memory Contamination Exhibition. I really enjoyed hearing Tokohal discuss the emotional journey of solvers. He talks about how feeling that initial anger and frustration can lead to greater joy and happiness, making the solve more rewarding. I will also be adopting the term "angry drink" from now on when having that post-game debrief with my teammates. Tokohal believes so strongly in this feeling of pride and joy from solving puzzles that he built this mechanic into his fashion line TOKIQIL. Every item of clothing in the line has a puzzle embedded in it, and you can only purchase the item after you've solved the puzzle. Talk about earning that reward! Thank you to REA writer Matthew Stein who first met Tokohal on his three month trip exploring Japan's extensive puzzle culture. If you're interested in exploring more, I recommend checking out The Brilliance of Japanese Puzzle Culture. Planning a trip to Japan?

Brett Kuehner: That Guy With The Puzzles (s12e2)
"Maker of Unusual Things" "If you've ever met him, he has probably handed you an unusual puzzle or curious object out of his Mary Poppins bag of puzzles." Brett Kuehner is THAT guy with the puzzles. Simply look for the large gathering of people all playing with what's collectively known as "cool stuff." You'll find Brett smack dab in the middle, dispensing puzzles and curios like Johnny Appleseed sowing his apples. Besides being a puzzle pusher, Brett is a curator, connector, and general fount of knowledge. He started his website thatguywiththepuzzles.com after amassing a huge collection of escape room and puzzle design resources that he wanted to share with his community. This links to a massive google doc with 20 pages of links to articles about technology, audio and lighting design, immersion and storytelling, and general puzzle and escape room design. Brett is a collector of the first order, and it isn't limited to design articles. As you can see from these "shelfies," his mechanical puzzle collection is also vast and varied. But what makes Brett's collection particularly special is how readily he shares it. His collections aren't just meant to sit on a pedestal. They're an invitation to explore, play, learn, and connect with other people who love puzzles. In today's episode, Brett chats with us about what drives his fascination with puzzles, teaching escape room design, and his philosophy when it comes to the larger puzzling community. I especially loved hearing about designing for emotions in puzzles and thinking about what we want players to feel when they're solving a puzzle. Also, Brett has the coolest parents. That Guy With the Puzzles is a fixture at most REA events. If you ever see a man with a large sack of puzzles and a twinkle in his eye, be sure to come up and say hi. You never know what inspiration you'll walk away with.

REPOD Live! with DarkPark's Gijs Geers (s12e1)
This is also the first time we've released a podcast in full video. So even if you're typically an audio podcast listener, we highly recommend you watch the full video on Youtube (click the link above). Let us know if you enjoyed our live show, and if you'd like to attend one in the future. "Don't override your players' experience with your version of the story." Emotional, hilarious, and... sexy?! Our very first REPOD Live Show was full of unexpected turns involving McDonald's drive thrus, a romance that blossomed amidst the most terrifying experience I've ever played, and some truly memorable moments. Oh, and it also had more references to sex than we've ever had on twelve seasons of this show. I guess that's what happens when you're recording live. We’ve been wanting to take Reality Escape Pod live for a long time. What better place to finally do it than at RECON, our own escape room convention? For this experiment, we needed the right guest. Gijs Geers of DarkPark Escape Rooms in the Netherlands was perfect for this live show. Gijs is an escape room creator, owner, and former magician who has experienced plenty of the industry’s highs and lows. What I appreciated most, though, was how candid Gijs was willing to be. He wasn't banging the drum of his self-importance. He got real with us. At times, he even became emotional, particularly when talking about the excitement and anxiety the TERPECAs bring. It made for a surprisingly personal conversation, especially considering it was all happening live on the RECON stage.
