In between Reality Escape Pod Seasion 8 and 9 we are starting a brand new show. PG's Playhouse. In the inaugural episode of PG's Playhouse, Peih-Gee Law and David Spira are joined by immersive creator Tommy Honton to explore the controversial topic of whether Die Hard is a Christmas movie. We kick off with a game called "Christmas-fied" where non-Christmas movies are transformed into Christmas-themed titles by adding festive song lyrics. We also discuss Die Hard's Christmas credentials, and its tight writing and unique casting choices. If you enjoy the show, please subscribe on your podcast app of choice.

Peih-Gee takes over hosting duties from David to present a ghostly and entertaining episode with guests Tommy Honton, and Anne & Chris Lukeman. We learn about things like mummy brown and the origins of Halloween, a unique trick or treating tradition in the midwest, and a video game called Sanity's Requiem, which gaslit its players into going mad. Play along with us on The Price is Fright, where we guess the number of escape rooms in the world with certain words in the title, such as “zombie” or “asylum.” And you don't want to miss Chris' terrifying tale of a group of friends who wander into an escape room and leave haunted with a mystery they'll never figure out.

In season 3, episode 7, we chat with Tommy Honton, creator of the award-winning escape room Stash House. He is a master craftsman of experience design with his bottomless bag of tools, combining storytelling and game design to create memorable, playable experiences. It's no coincidence that Tommy's been mentioned by so many guests on this podcast. It's clear his huge network exists because he genuinely cares about elevating the escape room community and helping like-minded creators succeed. It was fascinating to get a glimpse into Tommy's methodical creative design process. His approach to escape room design is deliberate and thoughtful, designing all aspects of the experience based on what he calls an “adrenaline map.” I especially appreciated the insight into his beta testing process. Tommy is so passionate about elevating the craft of immersive gaming and advocating for other creators. It's easy to see why many escape room designers consider him a mentor.
