We made it to 100 episodes of REPOD! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We&#8217;ve had so many incredible guests come on the show, fully willing to share the secret sauce to their success. These guests have been a treasure trove of creative inspiration. From discussing how to create immersive sets, to tricks for directing a player&#8217;s attention, from how to effectively market your business to creating puzzles, our guests didn&#8217;t gatekeep or pull their punches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To celebrate, we&#8217;re taking a look back through the archives and picking some noteworthy clips. These were all things our guests said that really resonated with us \u2013 personally, professionally, or on a creative level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" data-attachment-id=\"166107\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/roomescapeartist.com\/hero-repod-s9e11-100th-3\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/roomescapeartist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Hero-REPOD-S9E11-100th-3.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"1280,720\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Hero REPOD S9E11 100th (3)\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/roomescapeartist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Hero-REPOD-S9E11-100th-3-1024x576.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/roomescapeartist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Hero-REPOD-S9E11-100th-3-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"collage of people. 2 polaroid photos with man in black cap, glasses and headphones, asian woman in headphones. iphone with image of REPOD logo and 100 in balloon letters\" class=\"wp-image-166107\" srcset=\"https:\/\/roomescapeartist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Hero-REPOD-S9E11-100th-3-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/roomescapeartist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Hero-REPOD-S9E11-100th-3-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/roomescapeartist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Hero-REPOD-S9E11-100th-3-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/roomescapeartist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Hero-REPOD-S9E11-100th-3-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/roomescapeartist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Hero-REPOD-S9E11-100th-3-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/roomescapeartist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Hero-REPOD-S9E11-100th-3.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Each of these clips fundamentally changed how we think about something. Maybe it gave us a new perspective on leadership, like Elan Lee&#8217;s clip about &#8220;other people&#8217;s work.&#8221; Or perhaps it was Christine Barger going against industry norms by allowing filming in her escape room. Others were more philosophical, like Alexander Gierholz&#8217;s musings on the dissonance of escapism. Many of these clips helped shape the way we think about immersive design, such as Linda Klein talking about &#8220;experiential mixers&#8221; or Tommy Honton&#8217;s &#8220;adrenaline map.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s been an amazing 100 episodes of Reality Escape Pod. I hope our guests have also inspired you in your creative journey. And if they did, we&#8217;d love to hear about it. Let us know if there&#8217;s anything we missed that especially resonated with you.

know David. He\u2019s one half of the driving force behind REA. They likely know Peih-Gee as well. She started writing for REA as a Hivemind reviewer early in 2020, and she hosted the Q&amp;A sessions for RECON 20 Global.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>David and Peih-Gee met, appropriately enough, when they both appeared as guests on No Proscenium\u2019s podcast to discuss immersive gaming and Survivor (which Peih-Gee considers the world\u2019s greatest immersive game). Peih-Gee is a former two-time contestant on Survivor and also an enthusiastic ambassador for the immersive gaming community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the course of working together on REA and&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.realityescapecon.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">RECON<\/a>, David and Peih-Gee enjoyed countless conversations about the escape room industry, trading war stories and opinions on everything escape room related. And then it clicked\u2026 these conversations were the foundation of the podcast David had been eyeing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"support-repod\">Support REPOD<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/patreon.com\/roomescapeartist\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Subscribe to Patreon for bonus content<\/a>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Please rate and review our podcast!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Thanks for listening!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Support Room Escape Artist&#8217;s Mission<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are lots of ways to support Room Escape Artist, like buying from <a aria-label=\"Amazon (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/shop\/roomescapeart\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Amazon<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.awin1.com\/cread.php?awinmid=6220&amp;awinaffid=651019&amp;ued=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.etsy.com%2F\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Etsy<\/a> after clicking into the links included in this post or backing us on <a aria-label=\"Patreon (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.patreon.com\/roomescapeartist\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Patreon<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The money that we make from these helps us to grow the site and continue to add more value to the community that we love so much. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;\u200aChallenging yourself is how you produce growth in your own life.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":20,"featured_media":166107,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_coblocks_attr":"","_coblocks_dimensions":"","_coblocks_responsive_height":"","_coblocks_accordion_ie_support":"","_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"_wpas_customize_per_network":false,"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[586398298],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-160447","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-reality-escape-pod"],"acf":[],"is_reblog":null,"post_id":null,"blog_id":null,"_yoast_wpseo_primary_category":"586398298","yoast-structured-data-blocks-images-cache":null,"_yoast_wpseo_focuskw":"escape room podcast","_yoast_wpseo_linkdex":"60","_yoast_wpseo_content_score":"90","_yoast_wpseo_metadesc":"David Spira and Peih-Gee Law have made 100 episodes of REPOD, our escape room podcast.
