  • Ice Cream Wars: Cone of Conflict
    2025/07/13

    After being a little too successful at getting the sun to rise, Great Britain has turned into a scorching hot warzone of the delicious ice-cream-y kind. As the group head south to the beach, they soon encounter the aftermath of a great fight. Tanks retrofitted to fire lollies litter the street, unexploded cookie sandwich mines lay in wait, and there... Tucked away under a small patch of shade... Is one final ice cream van.

    Will we be able to escape into the ice cream van in time?!

  • Puzzle vs Narrative feat. Aurelius Whitlock's Murder Museum
    2025/07/06

    Join us all at The Drunk Druid for a chat on all things Puzzles vs Narrative in game design. For this episode, we're joined by the fantastic Nathan and Marcus who are hosts of the Aurelius Whitlock's Murder Museum podcast, and designers on hugely popular video game, Rise of the Golden Idol.

    Enjoy!

    As always the team have recommendations for your better enjoyment. This month, they are!

    • Jamie Death and other details Mandy Patinkin being Poirot on a cruise ship. What's not to like.
    • Mike James Lee - How I think Creatively YT video - Frankly terrifying Youtuber giving advice on creativity as if he's cast himself in Sin City.
    • Nathan Blue Prince Honestly the entire team lost their minds so completely as soon as this game got mentioned that I was sick a little in my mouth.
    • Marcus Elyot - 30 Puzzle Design Lessons Another YT video - Frankly obscenely wide ranging and deep (and I mean deep, like, Oceangate deep) on puzzle design.
    • Mairi Uketu Strange Pictures AN ACTUAL BOOK. ACTUAL PROPER CULTURE. THANK YOU MAIRI, THANK YOU. Oh wait it's by a Youtuber. However, a Youtuber that wrote a book that Mairi polished off in a single sitting. And, frankly (my word of the day), I have never met someone as easily distracted so, hats off Uketu. You broke Mairi.

    Recommendations summarised by the editor, Jon; who was, by the end, so utterly enraged by having this entire set of show notes accidentally deleted that he really went off on one and then began writing about himself in the third person.

    What a guy.

  • Summer Solstice: Time Stands Still at Stonehenge feat. Aurelius Whitlock's Murder Museum
    2025/06/20

    The sun is setting at Stonehenge, and we must bring it back with out wits, a wasp and a jam sandwich!

    Part 2 in the Summer Solstice series finds the gaggle of puzzlers at Stonehenge just in time for the sun to rise. The only problem is, if they don't perform the ritual correctly, the sun might not rise at all. In this brain-melting, time travel twisting episode, we'll have to master the past, present, and future if we want to make it out in time.

    In this episode, we're joined by Marcus Richardson and Nathan Hicken, the fantastic hosts of the murder mystery podcast Aurelius Whitlock's Murder Museum.

    2025/06/15

    The gang find themselves on the summer solstice in Wiltshire, at Stonehenge no less! There's a great festival happening to celebrate the longest day, but before they can get there they'll have to enter through the gift shop. Before the night is up, they'll have to perform the ritual to get the sun to rise again. Easier said than done!
