Welcome back to another episode of Puzzling Company! In this episode, Jared, Hunter, and Matthew talk about Escape the Room: Murder in the Mafia. The next game to come from ThinkFun and Blue Matter Games, this third installment to the Escape the Room series is charming, vibrant, and full of drama and intrigue. Once unfolded, the detective's office came to life, though unfortunately, we couldn't say the same for the Chicago mob enforcer Mickey, who we found dead in our office with our own gun beside him. Somebody framed us, and they did a darn good job. Listen to our thoughts as we take a shot at getting the mob--and hopefully the law--off our backs!
Look for this game on the shelves at your local game store, as well as on the ThinkFun and Blue Matter Games websites at the end of February. Listening a little later? Go ahead and grab a copy for yourself!
