I have a feeling this was actually the first one they filmed and decided to release it later to grab people with the better rooms, to not lose viewers.
I would like MatPat to do one of these. He seems pretty smart and logical and would do really well in this situations. Well if he doesn't over think EVERYTHING lol
Except for the 4 dot puzzle. That one seems like a pretty strong leap in logic that they all need to place a hand on a dot. They should have put some kind of riddle or clue for it to give players a better chance of figuring it out.
Yes, that was completely arbitrary. What's worse, it appeared early and there was no indication of the difference between "this thing does nothing yet" and "you can do something with this now." I suspect that they feel their formula requires the guests yell "Helping Hand!" in every episode and this was their way of forcing it to happen.
I can't believe the rooms are custom made.. I mean assumed so, but in this episode she confirmed it. A room like this requires renting or making a shitload of (really high quality) props; testing at least a dozen of times, and at different stages in development - especially hitting the right amount of content for 30 mins. would take a lot of tweaking. I can't imagine the resources going into this, and then it's all just for that one playthrough?
This is one of my new favourite shows. I made my friends watch some of the episodes and now they're totally on board doing an escape room. Thanks Guys ♥️♥️
ITS MIDDLEMAN!! I've seen Natalie in things and shes looked really familiar, but now I know!!! Im so excited, Im going to have to watch that show again.
I think the series is dead, but I found another escape room tv show (also from a few years ago): Race to Escape. A lot of episodes can still be found on youtube.
These rooms definitely have different levels of difficulty. I think I would have preferred seeing them increase in the degree of difficulty instead of being seemingly randomized. This was by far the easiest and probably would have been a nice starter episode.
is it just me, or was there no red herring in this one? It didn't seem like there was much to distract them from the main puzzles. And also, a lot of the other room has had a final puzzle in the egress zone; the last group would have made it if not for the Fibonacci sequence puzzle at the very end.
Maybe they got complaints that some of the previous rooms were too hard. The sorcerer, prison break, and spy mountain rooms were way more difficult than this one.
Yeah, that was easy and dumb. I dunno how the Critical Role peeps got railed with an impossible room, but these guys get a simplistic, sequential room that uses the same gemstones for three different stages AND no red herrings? That's weak.
This is exactly what we compare each episode to as well. The Critical Role team had clues that had almost limitless answers and no real way of working it out. These guys need to get the CR team back on to have another go with a room that is winnable.
I believe they judged the CR team being a group of ppl with a game oriented mind would be better than average and giving them an easy room would be a bit dumb. And tbh they were rigth, the CR team was 1 move away from victory in a room thats way harder than the show average, so if they were on the average show room theyd've demolished it.
It was definetly winable but there were some very screwed up things, like having vochal chords for the potion, have a clue that was "sing" and then say it wasn't the vochal chords...
I literally discovered this series today. It's brilliant! I've been doing quite a few of these now with more to come :) PLEASE tell me you have more of these coming. I just binge watched the whole series and loved it :)
I keep hoping that they make a narrative out of Janets jokes about not going anywhere - like these random groups are escaping rooms to make a path and help Janet escape from her imprisonment.
Janet's been stuck there for 4 years! I hope someone was able to free her. That would have been a fun way to end it. The last escape room is freeing Janet from her prison. They should bring this back for that kind of special episode. 🤣 She could even be one of the participants.
Parks and Rec and The Grinder. I've never saw The Grinder. I remember Natalie Morales from The Middleman! Anyone else remember The Middleman? She was also in a few episodes of White Collar. I loved White Collar.
Episode 8: fibonacci order.
Episode 9: p means purple.
Last episode I yelled so loud, “cut the yellow wire!!!!!!!!”
This room seems much easier than the others.
Cause Hector blackmailed them. He loves his winning
This episode was definitely a shorter ep than any other.
I have a feeling this was actually the first one they filmed and decided to release it later to grab people with the better rooms, to not lose viewers.
That could be it too..
But Michael mentioned that they were the fastest team has escaped so far., meaning other episodes had been shot already.
It'd be INCREDIBLE to see Rhett and Link do one of these!!!
DaBomb8493 The Game Grumps
I would like MatPat to do one of these. He seems pretty smart and logical and would do really well in this situations.
Well if he doesn't over think EVERYTHING lol
i was just thinking that!!!
They did a bomb game simular 2 it
Petition to bring this show back
⬇️
Hmmmm this one was easy compared to the other ones... of course they got out quickly, puzzles were pretty straight forward

Tessie Lightwood they are a lot of fun but very addictive!!
Tessie Lightwood same watched every episode
LOVE IT
This show is one of the best on Geek and Sundry! Love it! Janet Varney is hilarious and awesome :)
Hey, I pretty much bingewatched the whole series after having done my first escape room of my life. I'd be happy to watch more episodes :)
Too easy! They need to get some ex-Star Trek actors on this show.
ITS MIDDLEMAN!! I've seen Natalie in things and shes looked really familiar, but now I know!!! Im so excited, Im going to have to watch that show again.
Tiny Potato I love Natalie and the middleman so so much, I have a Wendy Watson cosplay
im so sad i need a million more episodes of this
was this the last episode or is there just gonna be a break? I love this show so much and hope it continues
When are we getting more of these? It's been 5 years!
When are we getting more episodes!? I love this show, but seriously... the suspense is killing me!
I think the series is dead, but I found another escape room tv show (also from a few years ago): Race to Escape. A lot of episodes can still be found on youtube.
Janet I have to say that the blue eyeshadow and tie looks really good on you!
Middleman's DubDub! Natalie Morales!
Also Janet with Korra Blue eyeliner is kind of nuts
These videos are the highlight of my week. Your creativity is amazing, and the room design is awesome. Thank you for the content!
This room seemed kinda small compared to the others
These rooms definitely have different levels of difficulty. I think I would have preferred seeing them increase in the degree of difficulty instead of being seemingly randomized. This was by far the easiest and probably would have been a nice starter episode.
Binged all episodes, can‘t wait for more!
I had to watch a TWO MINUTE AD for this. This show is amazing and it was worth it.
Coule we gat a blooper reel from all the escape rooms please please please Janet?!
I have never clicked on a video so fast these Escape rooms are the best
Bring this back! Bring this back! Bring this back!
This is an amazing show, I wish it got the audience size it deserves
is it just me, or was there no red herring in this one? It didn't seem like there was much to distract them from the main puzzles. And also, a lot of the other room has had a final puzzle in the egress zone; the last group would have made it if not for the Fibonacci sequence puzzle at the very end.
The colored lights were a red herring.
no, the colored lights were for extra time
There shouldnt be red herrings
MIDDLEMAN!!!!
Yussss!
This is so cool! You guys deserve 10 times as many views and likes than you get! Keep it up!
Janet's in rare form on this one. Love to do that 'Falling Down' Rifftrax with her.
I need a new episode!!! ♡♡♡♡
I am so excited to see Craig Cackowski, been missing some Thrilling Adventure Hour!
aw, me too - Slightly disappointed there were no Sparks Nevada references on this one :) POW!
I WANT MORE ESCAPE!!!
i hope there are more of these in production. i wanna see all the escaping :) You are awesome Janet
Hey guys I love this show. Are you going to do any more?
I guess not... LOL
Escape Rooms are great! If anyone is in the Westwood area of Los Angeles and looking to play a rather hard room, both of Escapedom's are awesome!
Geek & Sundry should make this a syndicated TV show ! I am certain it will be a huge hit ( w/ Janet Varney )
Maybe they got complaints that some of the previous rooms were too hard. The sorcerer, prison break, and spy mountain rooms were way more difficult than this one.
I think you mean "Natalie Morales (The Middleman)" in the description. Go watch it if you haven't.
YES HECTOR MY LOVE YOU'RE A GENIUS
"I gotta go to back home to watch Netflix and eat some spaghetti" bruh me !!!!!
I wish this series would continue. I absolutely love it!
"I know from Sci-Fi that the components of the room are part of the puzzle" -Hector
Still waiting on Janet Varney to do an escape room.
I watch that and laugh if she doesn't get out.
Yeah, that was easy and dumb. I dunno how the Critical Role peeps got railed with an impossible room, but these guys get a simplistic, sequential room that uses the same gemstones for three different stages AND no red herrings? That's weak.

Very true.
69th like lol

It was definetly winable but there were some very screwed up things, like having vochal chords for the potion, have a clue that was "sing" and then say it wasn't the vochal chords...
actors from community AND parks? love love love it
I am most definitively calling this Planet Janet from now on, that's just gold.
This is one of the best show on Planet Janet!!!!
THIS is the literal best series on this channel
*This WAS the literal best series on this channel. Too bad they killed it :/
Was not expecting a reference to Games World of Puzzles today! Longtime fan of their magazine.
not even mentioning the fact that Natalie was on The Middleman!? WUT! lol such a great show!
So much entertainment potential with escape rooms. very amusing!
I literally discovered this series today. It's brilliant! I've been doing quite a few of these now with more to come :) PLEASE tell me you have more of these coming. I just binge watched the whole series and loved it :)
I love these episodes
I love this show but I enjoy the more challenging rooms more
I LOL'd at, "I was going to say 'pancakes' too."
Just binge watched all of these
Can't wait for more!
That guy doesn't not look like Roy from IT Crowd.
Sooo......he does look like Roy?
thumbs up if you read Jhawk's message in Moss's voice.
I AM a giddy goat.
yeah major likeness. im drawing a complete blank on the actor's name... oh got it. chris o'dowd.
Love this show! It's fun to watch and I love escape rooms! Though this room seemed easier than some of the others
Am I the only one who thinks Craig looks eerily like Chris O'Dowd?
BRING THIS BACK PLEASE!! i love these videos 💕
Captain Martinez is back in Space !!
YES YES YES!! LOVE THIS SERIES!!!!!! =] =] =]
Fun show! I'm hoping there will be another season!
I keep hoping that they make a narrative out of Janets jokes about not going anywhere - like these random groups are escaping rooms to make a path and help Janet escape from her imprisonment.
“A location sounds like more than a place” - Genius
Please make more of these!!!!
Hope there's going to be more of these!
More Escape! Make it happen, G&S.
I MISS THIS SERIES
Can they please still do this series. I like it
More Janet Varney wanted!! More escape room wanted!!! More More!!!
imagine ron swanson in one of these except they’re super hard to do. a dream come true
this room is significantly easier than the others, but still a great series!
Pleas more of these Videos🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼I love them so much
Janet's been stuck there for 4 years! I hope someone was able to free her. That would have been a fun way to end it. The last escape room is freeing Janet from her prison. They should bring this back for that kind of special episode. 🤣 She could even be one of the participants.
what happened to this show
They had no more money to create rooms..
I gotta know where I can download this funky music from the intro and the one in the instructions.
With all these gems in space I'm starting to think you watched Steven Universe before making this room.
16:30 Poor guy. Damn you, Craig.
I remember Natalie Morales from White Collar, she was awesome!!!
Dang it. I thought that was Chris O'Dowd on the thumbnail. Will he appear if I try turning it off and on again?
Is that NOT-of-the-Today-Show, Natalie Morales?! SWEET!
Hector we need you! 😂😂😂
I'm a simple person. I see Hector in a video I watch.
can we have more of these?
THIS IS MY FAVORITE SHOW AHHHHHHH
Thx to Sience!!! It is closer to faceted then fiction
Are no more episodes being made? Shame, I loved watching these.
I'd love to see a behind the scenes on this show
Yo, BRING THESE BACK!!!!!
I like how they said it was very minimalistic
Great expectation subversion
3:48 Wow me too, small world eh
it's been a while now, when will the next episode be up
great show, great concept ... wish I could try out some of those rooms
What was the extra time puzzle and how do you solve it?
I'm waiting for the rankings and the championship rounds! Come on!
very cool idea for an internet show hope you do more
More please?
“Purple” “green” and “blue” no longer sound like real words to me anymore😂
Parks and Rec and The Grinder. I've never saw The Grinder. I remember Natalie Morales from The Middleman! Anyone else remember The Middleman? She was also in a few episodes of White Collar. I loved White Collar.
