Amber Benson, Alison Haislip, Dan Casey, & Josh McDermitt Escape Prison! (Escape! with Janet Varney)

[@thepudgyninja]

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

[@extulen]

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

[@RoderickEtheria]

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

[@Megalomaniakaal]

Eddie always gets the last word. yup.

[@rjvillela]

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

[@macktheknife111]

THANKS Extulen!

[@RoderickEtheria]

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

[@natersart6854]

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]

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]

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

[@gibbonduder182]

FYI, I tweeted Janet Varney after the 2nd failed escape to ask why they didn't show solutions. All failed escapes after that showed solutions. RESULT!

[@rainingonsunday21]

I'd pay good money to see the cast of Prison Break attempt an escape room like this...

[@eclairz9275]

Of what?

[@awesomegamer3057]

I would pay soooo much to see that

[@LOCKEYJ]

Also, one without a solution.

[@travisd3800]

That was a really neat escape room design and seeing them hand objects between the cells from the hallway shot was a really cool visual. Great job everyone who put that together!

[@TheHauntGirl]

😁

[@arceye89]

I'd love to see the guys from Vsauce doing this

[@TheLegendWeeb]

Do you really want a 2 min video?

[@DrewEid008]

Love to see this

[@arceye89]

TheLegendGames I'd put it to them as a challenge. 2mins no longer :D

[@gokenrocks]

Well if you want a five minute video....

[@joshgooding3273]

omg yessss

[@Kzzak]

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]

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

[@aquament]

Josh, Alison, and Amber. Hype hype hype. Also, we need a Buffy alumn escape cast. Because, why note.

[@DezandFoxPlay]

Okay, can I just say that Janet freaking rocks the coat and tie? You look great Janet, keep it up. Also, this show is radtacular.

[@illusion-xiii]

1:56 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

[@elleminnowpee]

Loved being able to pause at 19:49 to do the Bonus Time Puzzle.

[@KeyronNG]

Alison carried the team so hard XD

[@Hey_its_nathan89]

I loved her since AOTS. She's a hot babe

[@FF2PM]

and JOSH killed the team like SO HARD! (Also DAN... but I admit his room is kinda empty with these 4 phrases which doesnt prove anything since they didnt get the 'Eddie' clue)

[@cecicestmoi]

but it was nice of amber to put down her medicinals, get off her couch that she was lounging on in her housecoat, and come help out. lol

[@deeeTag]

@@FF2PM Dan at least heard the clanking or else they wouldn't have gotten out.

[@PrincessTinkForever]

"Dessert Sarcophagus" made me laugh harder than anything else in this video, what a phrase!!

[@greenskittles8627]

I think this is best room so far from all of the episodes I've seen. Not to easy and not too hard and each person was able to contribute (or had the potential to contribute)

[@SwatZombie]

Very cool. Loved seeing Josh and Amber in this. Walking Dead and Buffy are my two all time fave TV shows ever.

[@onewomanarmy6451]

I'd love to see this group in another escape room. They were really fun to watch.

[@xanderps210]

11:20 THAT OLD CHESTNUT! That old, "I need to dig my way through a mile of vanilla pudding to get a screwdriver and set us all free from prison" chestnut.

[@ACtheScoundrel]

for the time puzzle i got "Eddie Always Gets The Last Word" , ive been screaming it at my screen and when i saw all the clues i got "Hang Sheet From Window" XD

[@tiny_paul]

Saaame XD

[@SenseiLeRoof]

I was the same way about the 3x7 code grid.

[@rmsgrey]

3x7 code grid, the way it was displayed on screen kinda gave it away for those of us following along at home...

[@CHOCOLATIONZ]

I think it's harder when you didn't see the clue by yourself but only heard from somebody else describing it to you

[@k.r.carlton2100]

i was so angry that they didn't get it but laughing my ass off at how confused they looked after reading each one.

[@dustyb58]

I appreciate the work the people did to set these up and I like how it shows us the clues as they happen. Well done, G&S

[@thewpbard]

I'm impressed that they got out, but I think I'm more impressed that they did it without using their hourglass clue. I hope they had it explained to them at some point before they left the set.

[@ZimCrusher]

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.'

[@ChrisCharliemadman]

There's a weird 1 frame 'X' in the intro when the cast pictures disappear... edit: 00:06 on the word 'escape'...

[@victorfugl]

Thats a "copyright X" to see if anyone steal their video... Many people have it in their videos, though often more disguised

[@ryancole7376]

Victor Fugl How do they use it? Is it just so they can look for that x in someone else's video to know it was stolen?

[@aquament]

I get this feeling. That the final episode of this will be Janet's rescue.

[@hollywilson4124]

Josh just saying "I think they're afraid of me comiting suicide" in the background is everything 😂😂

[@samk8005]

24:35 Ooh, learned a new word! :) I can't smell, but I never thought to look up the term for it. Thanks!

[@Pythonhier]

Some day were going to get a 4 hour episode of Janet Varney finally escaping Escape!

[@sdrkelley]

This was a really good group, they all did very well especially having to work together from separate places not even being able to see each other’s clues and stuff

[@sdrkelley]

I spoke too soon, I can’t deal with her not understanding that his box with X’s corresponds to hers behind the mirror and she’s just messing with the actual box outside the cell the whole time. I literally face palmed

[@anthonyritchie5128]

Janet is just too charming. I only watch these for her, honestly.

[@MikeSmith74653]

Love the way Janet dressed up!!!

[@Secanh0]

I love the "What is the stakes?" parts, rç.

[@TheDazeez]

Not sure what kind of budget hit these escape rooms take but I think you all should bring it back for a few episodes

[@derwykynger]

19:50 at this point I'm screaming at my screen "HANG SHEET FROM WINDOW!!!" like a madman 😅

[@needsalt]

Best episode yet! And Im SO in love with Alison Haislip

[@RodrigoBarbosaBR]

Alison and Dan Casey = Fanboying like crazy Amber Benson = fan of the actress and the writer This was simply amazing. Made my whole week/

[@savedasloths]

Amber Benson!?!?! YEEESSSS!!!!

[@danvan4481]

Age has not been kind to her.

[@MrTheShane]

I'm sure you're no oil painting yourself, Dan.

[@iridescent_skye]

are you kidding? she looks great!

[@Carlordau]

she looks like she hasn't had any sleep for like a week.

[@MegaKaitouKID1412]

Just gonna say that Janet Varney's voice is all Korra all the time and I love it.

[@sarah7755]

Amber Benson... Buffy the Vampire Slayer! Say it loud and proud!

[@homebrewed]

Stopping at 19:50 "Eddie always gets the last word" - Hang Sheet From Window

[@vicktoryscreech]

yeah this one was the best so far omg i was so happy for them when they got out

[@stephaniegarland8254]

this is my favourite one of the escape rooms you guys created. its so original.

[@StevenS757]

Amber Benson reminds me of a young Linda Hamilton. I'm talking Terminator 1 era.

[@WolfMoon173]

This might have been my favorite so far, challenges were really interesting.

[@T3kDrums]

This is a really great Idea for a episode, its the best one!. I also cant get past the intro music explaining the parts of the escape room. So Good

[@yousifthegreat8405]

19:55 hang sheet from window. Happy that I figured it out

[@jeremy61313]

Love Amber Benson. I'll watch anything she is on.

[@beladan]

I'm under her spell

[@AungAung-zb5bt]

To be honest, this was by far my favourite episode

[@sincerelylauren7273]

Good addition to have us solve it. I've always been curious about many of the answers

[@albevanhanoy]

Alison Haislip on a G&S video always brightens my day.

[@Stolkmen]

Love this show!!!!! I want do an escape room just cause of this show.

[@Proximax9]

Really enjoy this show. One of the best ever from Geek and Sundry :)

[@Spumby]

19:50 the Roman numerals beside each word in order spell out “Eddie aldehyde gets the last word”, if you take the last word from each sentence from cell C4 it reads “hang sheet from window”. Took me about 20 seconds to figure that out.

[@yujames]

Favorite episode to date!

[@MrBuggLand]

Where is 2nd season of Titans Grave

[@kapri767]

14:31 I know the mirror is a red heron but smack it against the buttons!

[@peteaskme8926]

FRICKIN love this series!

[@teeonhighhill8827]

Looks like Dupont Dupont is at it again. I hope his puzzle skills are up to the challenge.

[@lib-center96]

The wall miscomm was so frustrating to watch. 3 by 7, and they're trying to solve a 4x4 grid. If it had dawned on Amber earlier what the 3 by 7 clue in Josh's cell was referring to, the clue wouldn't be needed and could have been saved for something else.

[@Pestilence476]

I loved that time puzzle.

[@ieyke]

I think this is the best escape room that they've done so far.

[@fredochs]

Awesome Escape! episode, Janet. Well crafted!

[@Laggol]

as someone who works at an escape room this just feels a bit like I'm at work

[@Sutefusparky]

I absolutely love this series, please keep it going!

[@JTMcAwesomeFace]

Solved the bonus puzzle in like 2 minutes but no way I could have figured it out without everything written in front of me.

[@Lizhi荔枝]

I don’t know if I got the bonus time puzzle correct, but I got Eddie Always Gets The Last word for C1 & C2. For C4, I got Hang Sheet From Window.

[@phillippowell7905]

Awesome show, thanks so much guys :)

[@dsoegijono]

I'm just happy Alison got to keep her 100% escape record.

[@Apollo9898LP]

The time bonus puzzle was really easy if you had all the clues, but getting all the information between them would've taken serious coordination

[@jorjalewis9129]

Ohhhh hang sheet from window!!! That makes so much sense

[@xenothonstelnicki597]

Best one of these I've seen!

[@BurtDavis]

That looked like so much fun.

[@abmorse1]

God Bless Amber Benson for making the nauseous/nauseated distinction!

[@imkluu]

I would love to do an escape room, but I think I would botch it royally. It is so easy to miss something obvious and get stuck on one of the red herrings.

[@BlimpMcGee]

It's official, Haislip is the complete package

[@seeleyboothfan2]

Tara and Eugene - whoot whoot

[@kyoteshaman76]

love amber's books

[@erbgorre]

dans disappointment after unscrewing his mirror :D

[@grenbaygrl1]

This was a great episode! Wonderful challenge design

[@madisafriend4388]

I love this sooooo much please make loads of seasons xxxx (p's I love the walking dead xx)

[@matildasinfield-jones5635]

I love these so much and I hope there are more to come

[@claudiabowling7554]

the roman numerals one is " Eddie always gets the last word." So you look at the C4s clues and see that it says " Hang sheet from window."

[@madiaikau9140]

I knew the words with the roman numerals were linked! I wish I could have been there

[@jeffunknown9927]

Awesome episode!

[@andrewnguyen5095]

Isn't Eddie the serial killer from the other escape room? That would make an eerie story, god dam I love these.

[@TheThreeMavii]

Janet's dress/jacket/tie combo is super cute! Also, she's an excellent host =)

[@mythirdchannel]

this is some awesome teamwork, that last clue was really difficult o_O

[@omgoblins]

Alison Haislip is the best :3 I watch everything with her in it ♥

[@chitoryu12]

Seeing them use a clue for such an obvious puzzle because they couldn't communicate was the most frustrating thing in the world to watch.

[@chromaphasia453]

SPOILERS: Using the Roman numerals you get Eddie always gets the last word, by taking the last word from the phrases you get a sentence, it's "hang sheet from window"

[@danitellopeelio]

"IF I CAN'T GET OUT I'M GONNA CRY" "I'm just gonna self flagellate."

[@EightThreeEight]

I'm not gonna lie; I thought she said "self-flatulate".

[@MelodyTheHedgehog456]

I would love to see the achievement hunter boys doing this!

[@EmmaBonn96]

MelodyTheHedgehog456 well they have had Burnie and Blaine in one. And Elyse from funhaus was in another. I'd love to see them in a minecraft themed room. I feel like Jack would have to take the lead on solving it.

[@MelodyTheHedgehog456]

That or Ryan. He would be the more apt to solve this I feel.

[@xROBIx85]

love these videos cant wait till the next one

[@owen5704]

Make more of these!

[@wookieesden3133]

I would love to see them all do it again, but in character. I want to see Eugene work his way out.

[@DDavidonetwothree]

the first part i saw all along, "Eddie always gets the last word", then you take the last words of C4 and you get "hang sheet from window"

[@KettouRyuujin]

Yes solution to unsolved puzzle!!!

[@arkhausenofmatiere2905]

there needs to be alot more of this

[@ashleyprokic6494]

this was such a cool escape room

[@gothsinn23]

All I see in Josh is Eugene XD Tbf he grew on me a lot as I watched TWD, I'll be rooting for him!

[@Kyru988]

Btw the time clue was "Hang Sheet From Window"!

[@xxannaxx1]

OMG JOSH!!!!! AHHHHHHHHH OMFGGGGGGGGGGGG I LOVE THE WALKING DEAD AND WHEN I SAW HIM I FREAKED OUT AND STILL AM!!!!!!!!!!!!! ❤❤❤😍😍😍😍😍😍
