With the team's outback getaway driver KO-ed outside the toilet, the team find themselves stranded in the outback, 45 minutes before their flight from "Australia Airport" leaves. Time is of the essence, and in this special the solvers will have a shared 45-minutes to solve across both parts of the Outback Odyssey arc. But before they can get back on the road they'll have to get through dozens and dozens of gnomes... in various state of undress (Jamie's exact words, not mine). Somewhere among these gnomes the key to escape lies. It's time to lock in and- "Gnome more Mr. Nice Guy". Puzzle Maestro: Jamie Gibbs Solvers: Mike Collins, Jon Saunders Episode Art: Dom Jordan Editor: Mike Collins All links to our social media profiles and our Patreon programme over at https://linktr.ee/theinfiniteescaperoom TLDR: The first episode in the Outback Odyssey arc takes place in a field of gnomes in the Australian outback, featuring anagrams, rude gnome gestures, and a locked toilet. The Infinite Escape Room is a comedy escape room podcast where a group of friends make and solve audio escape rooms for one another. It's one part tabletop RPG, one part escape room with a bit of Monkey Island humour sprinkled over the top.

Wenn Philipp mal ins Theater geht, dann muss es schon ein ganz besonderes Theaterstück sein. Zum Beispiel die Adaption des Point'n'Click-Adventures "The Secret of Monkey Island"! 2014 erstmals aufgeführt, soll es nun im nächsten Jahr erneut die Weltmeere oder zumindest die Theaterbühne erobern. Doch Kultur wird chronisch unterfinanziert, sodass die Produktion erneut durch ein Crowdfunding gesichert werden muss. Und damit ihr nicht die Katze im Sack kauft, hat Philipp mit dem Regisseur über das Stück an sich als auch über die Videospielgrundlage gesprochen.

This is the final week of our two-week summer break, where we recharge our puzzle batteries. But we won't leave you empty handed - here's a director's cut edition of a classic episode with new editing, music, SFX and commentary. This episode initially aired a little later than normal due to some technical gremlins, which meant it didn't get a fair shake before the following week's episode came in and pushed it out of the feed (people love that fresh content, yo). And it's a particularly fiendish puzzle from Mike that also uses a hefty amount of learning theory. Mike pulled a sneaky on us and had us doing a team building exercise (le gasp!). The original recording was 2 hours long. So as a special treat, here's a re-edited version along with the puzzle debrief and additional commentary from me (Jamie). Grab a glass of warm urine and join us as we attempt to escape the desert with a surprisingly Northern sounding Bear Grylls. Will we select the correct five items to enable our escape? And what's with that Morse Code, anyway? Special thanks to Patreon supporters Rachel, Howlfin and Will for making this episode possible.

This week Anna and Paul are reunited and they kick things off with some story time about where Paul has been, thennn they get into the 1991 Jim Wall's adventure "Blue Force". It's one of those games a lot of us flagged as "one day I'll play that" knowing very well that day will never come, so press play and let them walk you through it instead.

This is the start of our two-week summer break, where we recharge our puzzle batteries. But we won't leave you empty handed - here's a director's cut edition of a classic episode with new editing, music, SFX and commentary. Sometimes, an episode as such an impact on us that we talk about it months or even years later. Groundfarce is one of those episodes. What started out as a simple spatial puzzle quickly devolved into a mud slinging match with zingers such as "Left isn't a cardinal direction!" and "I've left the shed and my eyes appear to have stopped working". We cut a fair amount from the episode in the original airing because things got a little heated. But as a special treat, here's the whole thing with additional commentary from me (Jamie). Grab your trowel and bring a map as Jon takes us through a surprisingly complex English garden puzzle.

Wie schon in Folge 100 angekündigt, feiern wir die 200. Nerdwelten-Episode mit einem echten Klassiker der Retrospiele: Monkey Island 2: LeChuck's Revenge – von vielen Fans als das beste Point-and-Click-Adventure der goldenen LucasArts-Ära gefeiert.Im typischen Nerdwelten-Dreiergespann besprechen wir Guybrush Threepwoods zweiten Auftritt, tauchen in die cleveren Rätsel, die ikonische Spielewelt und die unvergesslichen Charaktere ein und schauen dem Affen mit sechs Augen genau auf den Pelz.Zum Abschluss kommen zudem einige gute Freunde des Podcasts zu Wort, die uns liebe Grüße und Botschaften geschickt haben – ein besonderes Highlight zum Jubiläum!Sprecher: Hardy Heßdörfer, Daniel Cloutier und Ben Dibbert

Jan und Basti erscheinen spaet, nicht als Verspaetete, sondern als temporale Anomalien im sozialen Gefuege der Veranstaltung. Die Party existiert bereits, oszillierend zwischen kulinarischer Sinnlichkeit und semiotischer Ueberforderung. Die Essens-Spione agieren mit chirurgischer Praezision, ihre Currywurst ein Manifest funktionaler Gastronomie. Silvia und Sven sind die diskreten Epistemologen am Telefon, allwissend, aber der Sprache entwhnt. In der Schweiz verschwinden Studenten, nicht spurlos, sondern entlang eines narrativen Vektors, der sich jeder Aufloesung entzieht. Daedalic produziert wieder Adventures, gereift wie ein Bordeaux, der sich weigert, modern zu schmecken. Visionaire bleibt, nicht aus Nostalgie, sondern weil Geschichten in Deutschland noch atmen. Jan spricht in Andeutungen. Basti hoert in Subtexten. Die Nacht beginnt, aber ihr Ende ist eine Frage der Interpretation.

This three-part BONUS episode honors our friend Roberta Vaughan and celebrates the upcoming live debut of Error 47—a tribute band performing all together for the first time this fall. Part One features Jackie, Sarah, Jon Paul, Erik, and Mick, some of the members of the band, as they reflect on Roberta's legacy, how the project came together, and what it's like preparing for a live show as a group of longtime friends, collaborators, and fans. This is the first time they'll share a stage as one lineup. Part Two brings in producer Sean Parker and Error 47 member Troels Pleimert, along with a return from Mick. This half dives deep into the creative and logistical work behind the Kickstarter campaign, the emotion of translating a digital legacy into a live experience, and how the band's shared love of FMV and community drives the whole effort. Part Three closes with a personal segment featuring Roberta's sibling, Ames, who shares their perspective on the concert, the campaign, and the legacy their sister leaves behind. This episode spans memories, music, and momentum, celebrating the past while building something new in Roberta's name.

Man trifft nicht jeden Tag sein Idol - aber wenn man es trifft und zufällig eine Handpuppe von sich selbst dabei hat, können seltsame Dinge passieren. Zumindest, wenn es um Michi Obermeier und Tim Schafer geht, der außerdem über sein neues Spiel Keeper und die Entlassungen bei Microsoft spricht. Wenn ihr könnt, dann schaut euch das Interview bitte bei GameStar Talk auf YouTube an, sonst entgehen euch Tim Schafers Puppenspiel-Künste!

Hans lebt zwischen Anfang und Ende. Jan lebt zwischen Realitaet und GPS-Navigation. Basti lebt jetzt in Dueren. Der Zug war puenktlich - leider in die falsche Richtung. Frankreich investiert nicht mehr in Koeln. Aber dafuer in Syberia. Maria spielt, was keiner sieht. Jan sendet Geschmacksknospen wie Gedichte. Basti antwortet mit ASMR-Brause. Hans kommt spaeter. Vielleicht. Oder war schon da. Niemand weiss es. Aber alle sind sehr beschaeftigt. Hurz.

Im Foyer der Halle sammelt sich Staub, unsichtbar wie Erwartungen vor dem ersten Kaffee. Jan tritt ein, nicht suchend, nur gehend, als waere er ein Gedanke, der nie vergessen hat, wohin er gehoert. Basti bleibt eine Abwesenheit mit dem Gewicht einer leeren Stuhlreihe, ein stiller Taktgeber in der Ferne. Zwischen Messelicht und Stimmengewirr liegt ein schmaler Korridor aus Zufallen, auf dem man nur vorwaerts gehen kann, ohne jemals anzukommen.

This week on the Classic Gamers Guild Podcast, we step into the afterlife, but not the peaceful kind. Anna, one half of the CGG Podcast, sits down with Rubén López, one half of Aruma Studios, to talk about their upcoming point-and-click adventure Shadows of the Afterland. If their debut Intruder in Antiquonia was about memory and resisting modernity, this one's about being dead before you're even born, and trying to change your destiny. Rubén pulls back the curtain on designing a supernatural murder mystery set in 1960s Madrid, building an afterlife where bureaucracy still reigns, and giving players control of so many unique characters through a tactical possession mechanic. We dig into how Galician folklore seeps into the game's design, what it takes to rebuild an entire custom engine from scratch, and why full voice acting is now part of the plan. From puzzle design philosophy to the realities of running a two-person studio, this conversation is a deep dive into ambitious indie development, ghostly storytelling, and the fine art of making possession both strategic and fun. Plus, hear about the game's brand-new demo update, massive performance boosts, and plans for release on PC and Nintendo Switch. Play our adventure game! The Phantom Fellows is out now!

In this episode of Bleezy Listening, we rewind from November 2024 to July 2025 to unpack nine months of chaos, cover-ups, and controversy. From the mass monkey escapes at a South Carolina research facility and the targeted killing of UnitedHealthcare's CEO, to Trump's second-term shake-ups, Southern California wildfires, and a wave of deadly incidents sparking “false flag” accusations, it's been a year of headlines that don't add up. We dig into the EPA's official chemtrail denial, Epstein case stonewalling, and even a defamation clash between French President Emmanuel Macron and Candace Owens. Strap in — this is the news they hope you've already forgotten.

This week, Anna runs a solo mission straight into the fog, Fogtown, that is. She's joined by Sean Parker, the puppet-wrangling, genre-bending mastermind behind Fogtown, the only detective story brave enough to ask: what if a puppet version of Sherlock Holmes had imposter syndrome, a spatula sword, and a head that occasionally falls off? We talk about how the pandemic turned a scrappy puppet TV show idea into a fully modular FMV game with real performances, rotating virtual sets, and actors from Phantasmagoria, Disco Elysium, and Contradiction. Sean spills the tea on a mystery publisher who ghosted harder than a Tinder date, how to keep a puppet's head attached during a fight scene, and why FMV deserves a weirder, brighter comeback. Plus: a tribute to the irreplaceable Roberta Vaughan, who championed lovely indie projects like Fogtown long before the rest of us caught on. Wishlist A Rum Case In Fogtown!

Es gibt da dieses eine lokale Multiplayer-Spiel, das mal enorm Aufsehen erregt hat: Crawl. Ein bitterböses Action-Rollenspiel, in dem mehrere Spielende mit Monstern einen einzelnen Helden durch einen Dungeon jagen. Es sollte über acht Jahre dauern, bis Powerhoof, das australische Indie-Studio hinter Crawl, ein neues großes Spiel veröffentlicht. Jetzt ist es soweit. Und es ist...ein Point and Click Adventure!? Richtig. The Drifter von Powerhoof ist ein Adventure in der Tradition von Monkey Island. Aber es ist blutig, es ist fies, es ist sehr australisch und wir haben Meinungen!

Pues sí, el verano sigue, y nosotros también: ya habíamos hablado de los terrores veraniegos con la anterior entrega de este Summer Edition, y hoy toca hablar de una de las franquicias veraniegas más famosas de los últimos años, la que se inspiró en una atracción de Disneyland, pero también cogió elementos de Monkey Island y de unas cuantas cosas más, y se convirtió en un gran éxito y en una aventura que hoy David estás más que dispuesto a defender. Así que aquí estamos, David, Massanet y Tornero, dispuestos a bregar las aguas de una trilogía (y de sus dos lamentables epílogos... de los que también hablamos, por desgracia) bastante más compleja de lo que parece a simple vista. David entusiasmado, Massanet con sus peros pero igualmente entregado... y Tornero como el menos dispuesto a defenderlas, pero igualmente capaz de reconocer sus no pocos méritos. Así que aquí lo tenéis, casi dos horas con Jack Sparrow, Barbossa y toda la banda de filibusteros zarrapastrosos y chalados, y con el trinomio de ahora de viajeros dispuesto a que lo paséis bien, en vuestro viaje en coche, o en vuestro camino al curro, o mientras limpiáis la casa o lo que sea, aquí lo tenéis, y totalmente gratis... no os quejaréis.

This week Paul played Sierra's black sheep, what some call the rite, or maybe right, of passage for the clinically obsessed adventure gamer... it's Codename: Iceman. He's gonna walk you through it so you don't have to play it, while switching vehemently between 'you should play it' and 'you absolutely should not'- it's quite a rollercoster of confused emotions and misguided angst.

Point&Click war Ende der 80er und auch in den 90er-Jahren ein überaus beliebtes Genre. Maniac Mansion, The Secret of Monkey Island, Day of the Tentacle, Indiana Jones und Baphomets Fluch kannten damals beinahe alle Gamer. Mittlerweile kommen solche Spiele eher selten auf den Markt und der große Erfolg bleibt aus. Woran das liegt und warum es doch immer wieder Titel in die Herzen der Fans schaffen, besprechen wir in Folge 176 des PC Games Podcast.Moderator Michi Grünwald hat neben Redakteur Felix Schütz noch Tom Stossno eingeladen. Der Spieldesigner arbeitet für das Entwicklerstudio Radio Silence Studios und möchte gemeinsam mit seinem Team im Dezember das Point&Click-Abenteuer The Adventures of Bryan Scott veröffentlichen. Tom erzählt uns in der aktuellen Podcast-Ausgabe mehr über die Herausforderungen während der Entwicklung und warum ein Spendenaufruf von euch da draußen das Spiel noch besser machen kann.Mit bekannten deutschen Sprechern könnte das handgezeichnete Adventure nämlich auch im deutschen Markt noch mehr einschlagen, schließlich ist das Point&Click-Genre hierzulande deutlich populärer als anderswo. Lasst uns in den Kommentaren gerne wissen, welches Oldschool-Abenteuer euch am besten gefällt? Wir wünschen euch viel Spaß beim Anhören des Podcasts!Der PC Games Podcast - der offizielle Videospielpodcast der PC Games - erscheint seit über einem Jahrzehnt regelmäßig und liefert dabei wöchentlich gleich mehrere Talks zum riesigen Thema Videospiele.Unser Moderationsteam, Michi Grünwald und Vivi Ziermann, deckt dabei etliche Bereiche ab: Review-Gespräche und Previews zu brandaktuellen Games, nostalgische Rückblicke, Reports, Interviews und vieles mehr.

This Week Anna & Paul are combing through the Yearbook from Point 'n Click High, and deciding things like: Who had the best hair? Who's the class clown? Who has the most punchable face? Who had the best death animation?  It kinda starts as more Yearbook trope kinda questions and then transforms into general award-show style questions but it's a good time, you'll see, you'll all see.

This week Anna & Paul are talking—wait, is that a good name for the episode? I was kinda thinking "Pixels and Personas" but that sounded kinda vague, but maybe it's more mysterious which I think you want for catchy episode titles. Whatever. This week they're talking about Archetypes—first they lay out the different archetypes using pop-culture and words, then they assign the most iconic adventure game characters atheir fitting archetype.

Liebe Fans von „Day of the Tentacle“, „Monkey Island“ oder „Sam & Max - Hit the Road“: Schaut ehrfurchtsvoll auf eure verstaubten 90er-Jahre Spiele, streichelt euren alten Amiga 500 oder den Vobis Highscreen - Natürlich nur im Design von Luigi Colani! Und ertragt mit Fassung dieses Computer-Abenteuer. „Eine Crimebusterfolge, wie von der KI geschrieben…“ (Shareware Schwind). „Ganz so schlimm ist es nicht…“ (Floppy-Disk Fröhlich). Bei der Besprechung zu „Die drei ??? – Angriff der Computer-Viren“ wird das Mini-Rätsel auf dem letzten analog gezeichneten Aiga Rasch Cover gelöst und Fatshaming im Sekundentakt entdeckt – Auch wenn dies schon fast romantisch klingt: „Das schwammige, schweißnasse Gesicht glänzt im Mondlicht.“ Der Bösewicht ist der mit dem roten Parker (bitte nicht verwechseln: Es nicht die mit dem roten Halsband!) und ein cleveres Mädchen ist lieber eine „dumme Nuss“. Welche Katastrophe improvisiert Andreas? Was steht im Originalmanuskript auf Seite neun? Und warum lehnt „Wetten, dass..?“ Justus, Peter und Bob ab? In diesem Bobcast gibt es ein Sportfreunde Stiller Fan-Hörspiel zu „Die drei ???“ und Andreas spendiert euch eine Extra-Runde „Ja, ja, ja!“ Dann wären da noch der Saturn, eine Seife und eine Badewanne. Aber… das hat früher schon niemand verstanden und das bleibt auch heute so. Schnell noch diese Folge Raubkopieren und los geht´s.

This week Anna & Paul are talking about non-adventure games, for some reason. Oh, Paul was supposed to say, for his first pick, "Astro Chicken" and he formally regrets forgetting this very so-so joke. See cos, that's in an adventure game and so it represents his hesitation to embrace anything outside of the adventure genre.  I'm glad I explained it, it's for sure funnier now. Mangia!   The Phantom Fellows Pin/Magnet by CanvasQuest!   Mac OS9 Emulator (Mac) Mac OS9 Emulator (PC)  Mac System Seven Emulator (Mac) Mac System Seven Emulator (PC)   Play our adventure game!

To aid her, they must navigate the sprawling mansion and uncover its hidden truths across time.Tune in to the podcast for a full demonstration of RYFT: A Timely Manor!RYFT: A Timely Manor on the App Store https://apps.apple.com/us/app/ryft-a-timely-manor/id1661569093TranscriptDisclaimer: This transcript was generated by Aiko, an AI-powered transcription app. It is not edited or formatted, and it may not accurately capture the speakers' names, voices, or content.Hello and welcome.My name is Thomas Domville, also known as AnonyMouse.In this podcast, I'm going to be covering an iOS game called Rift.It's the first chapter called A Timely Manor.It is a free game, which I think all of us could say we love, and it's kind of compelling.It's kind of a lot of fun.There's some similarities to this to previous games I've done in the past years or so, and I thought I'd just pass this game along to you.It is an audio based adventure game.So it's kind of a voice control type game.So it reminds me a lot of the older text adventure games where you are put in a room or whatever not be.For example, in our first scenario, we're left in a room that has a desk and a coat stand and stuff like that.And you'll see that we just completely use our voice alone.Now, as a bonus, I will show you is not all has to be done by voice.So for those that prefer just using the regular old screen, or if you have a braille display, that might be something that you want to take a look at as well.So check on the availability of if that or this game is available to you in your country app store.So without further ado, let's jump into Rift.Now the first thing I want to note out is that as always voiceover sometimes kind of butchered the words.And you're going to hear it pronounced it as right.It seems like no matter which voice I use, it says right.And that's because the spelling…
