Andy, you're in a room. I am. How did you know? No, no, no, no, no. No, a room of imagination. Oh,

sorry. You want me to use my imagination. Yeah. If you could use my imagination, you have to

warn me in advance. Okay. I'm going to warm it up. I'm going to fire up your imagination. Yeah.

You're in a room, but not the room you're in, IRL, which I can see. It's a mysterious room.

You've woken up in and there's a bookcase. There is a locked door. You've already tried the door.

So yeah, I'm afraid you've woken up in an escape room. Okay. I read the titles on the spines of

all the books. Have any of them about locks and keys? Yeah. There's one and it's called the key

to freedom by Mr. Lock Lockington. Cool. I pull it. Does anything happen? You pull it and the book

comes out of the bookcase because it's a book. That's a bookcase. Okay. Open it. Key inside. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Got it. The hole in the shape of a key. You've got the key. I know what

I leave the escape room setting in your record. I get my photo on the wall. It's not your first

escape room. No. Oh, they're furious. Management is furious. I divide my money back because that's

too short. Okay. All right. Well, that's simply a warm up for today's Ox Venture episode,

which is happening right now. Welcome to the Ox Venture D&D podcast. It's a Dungeons & Dragons

podcast where we listen to old episodes of Ox Venture D&D and talk about them. I'm Jane.

I play prudence the tiefling warlock. I'm Andy. I play Corazon, the human pirate rogue. You're

the worst thing about escape rooms is there's always a Sudoku in them. They're always a

lot of ideas at some point. And then like, and now's the point where you have to do a Sudoku.

And nearly always a UV torch of some sort. And then they need doesn't really work,

you know, like you shine it at the wall. Yeah. And then that is not quite clear because the UV light

isn't bright enough or the pen wasn't, you know, the pen wasn't good enough. What I wouldn't,

what I wouldn't give to being a rubbish escape room right now. I do enjoy an escape room.
