Meeples & Memories

This is a special episode celebrating our 5th birthday as a podcast. We start off with a couple of quick reviews, including a preview of the latest puzzle box from EscapeWelt and then a review of a birthday-themed escape-room-in-a-box. We then reminisce about the past year, talk about some future plans, and then wrap up by answering questions from our fans.
