Rich talks about playing in Moscow while setting the Guinness World record, and he tells us about playing the \u201chard with pain\u201d game mode. We discuss the \u201cTERPECA Effect,\u201d while talking about the impact that the Enthusiast Choice Awards has had on the international escape room scene. Not only has this project created a globally recognized reference list of the top escape rooms, it has also brought the international community together, with many enthusiasts traveling all over the world to experience these games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rich\u2019s passion for the puzzling world crosses many genres. It\u2019s abundantly clear that he puts a lot of thought into ensuring that TERPECA is balanced, fair, and accurately reflects the opinions of the most experienced players. If you\u2019re an experienced enthusiast, we hope this episode convinces you to vote in the upcoming TERPECA season.
