  • On this episode of Escape!, Josh McDermitt, Alison Haislip, Amber Benson, and Dan Casey are all convicts trying to escape prison in the 1930s. Can they get out in time?
    We’ve locked celebrities in a room together and thrown a bunch of puzzles and riddles at them to see if they can free themselves in under a half hour. Janet Varney hosts as we bring the escape room phenomenon to the screen.

    Definitely the best episode so far. Dividing up the players like this and forcing each of them to find/solve stuff, communicate and cooperate really helps each person have their moment and offsets the quarterback problem where one person takes charge and just tells everybody else what to do.

    • @Rambl3On

      thepudgyninja my first escape room was a ground of 12 people separated into 4 rooms. The communication and teamwork aspect was really great.

    • @EmmaBonn96

      I’ve never heard of it called the quarterback problem
      I’d like to know names for other escape room problems
      There’s an escape room type show that rooster teeth is showing called weird place that had a separation communication type puzzle
      The group was split in two
      One group had a light board with a display that asked for a particular combination of numbers
      The lights on the light board were numbered
      They also had a microphone device
      In another room, the other group had the receiver for that microphone, directions for the combinations, and buttons to go along with the lights
      The idea was, group a could talk to group b but group b couldn’t talk back
      Group b had the information but needed to find a way to relay it to group A
      Also
      As a punishment
      A loud honking noise played in group B’s room when group A made a mistake on the code

    The puzzle at 19:55, "Always gets the last word", so last word from each quote -> "Hang sheet from window"

    • @RoderickEtheria
      @RoderickEtheria 7 ปีที่แล้ว +44

      Roman Numeral 1 was Eddie, so the first Phrase was "Eddie always gets the last word."

      Eddie always gets the last word. yup.

    • @rjvillela
      @rjvillela 7 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      so they just need to shout out the clue and automatically gets 5 extra minutes?

    • @RoderickEtheria
      @RoderickEtheria 7 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      no, all of those worked together as a single hint, and so they had to hang a sheet from a window.

    Giving the 'extra time' clues for the viewer to figure out was a good addition. It would have been cool to know what would have happened if they got that clue.

    • @RpTheHotrod
      @RpTheHotrod 7 ปีที่แล้ว +18

      If they solve that clue, they get more time...5 minutes, I believe.

    • @kimstolz8880

      Naters Art they would have gotten extra time.

    • @natersart6854

      well yes...I know that. I just wanted to see if there would have been any theatrics.

    • @Ragsna
      @Ragsna 7 ปีที่แล้ว +10

      There´s not much to the bonus clues. If the team gets it right, a bell rings and they get 5 minutes extra.

    OMG YOU GUYS I SEE IT!
    Did you notice how in dungeon escape episode the Serial Killer was called Eddie? Well, coincidentally, the name of The Helper trying to get Amber, Alison, Dan and Josh out of prison is also called Eddie!
    MY THEORY
    Eddie (Serial Killer) was caught and arrested by the police and sent to prison.
    Eddie (Serial Killer) escapes prison and now is trying to help other people get out of prison (because he want revenge on the justice system).
    Eddie (Serial Killer) becomes Eddie (The Helper).
    I have a feeling that the name "Eddie" will be used in later "Escape!" escape rooms and will further flesh out the story of "Eddie".

    • @finchjames
      @finchjames ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Plus I believe the set for the "dungeon" escape room would have been Eddie's previous serial killer lair! Nice job connecting across rooms I totally missed that

    Okay, so I hear this one a lot and decided to look it up. First off, the word for a smell isn't "nauseous", it's "noxious", so points off for that.
    Also, interestingly, if you look at the etymology, both of the words "nauseous" and "nauseated" have had both meanings "having nausea" and "causing nausea" throughout history. It looks like both words basically had the same original meaning, "to be afflicted with nausea" back in the early 1600's, but then at different times, each of them flipped to mean "to cause nausea" (it obviously varies depending on which source you're looking at). Then at some point formal rules of publication/writing settled on "nauseous" as "causing nausea", but the spoken vernacular never adopted that rule, so people were still saying, "I feel nauseous" and then getting corrected by pretentious English majors, a tradition which continues to this day.
    But the word for smells is "noxious", a related but different word. So :P

    One of the better puzzle rooms. I really like this one. There were no huge connection leaps, people had to work together, no one could just stand and watch, and no one could hog all the clues. Very well done.
    The bonus clue was easy, but I was not under the stress that these guys were under. 'Hang sheet from window.'
