To celebrate, we&#8217;ve invited our Podcast Producer, Theresa Piazza, and Room Escape Artist Contributor, Andrew Reynolds to join us for games, trivia, and merriment. Today&#8217;s game is &#8220;It&#8217;s Not Elf on the Shelf&#8221;, inspired by an actual toy Snoop on the Stoop. Each answer is a celebrity paired with a rhyming location in the house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We all share some recommendations for games, puzzles, and shows that we&#8217;ve been enjoying. Then David takes us down the rabbit hole of mistletoe trivia, which has sexier origins than any of us imagined. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"473\" height=\"520\" data-attachment-id=\"188455\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/roomescapeartist.com\/snoop-on-the-stoop\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/roomescapeartist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/snoop-on-the-stoop.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"473,520\" 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;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"snoop on the stoop\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Snoop on the Stoop&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/roomescapeartist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/snoop-on-the-stoop.jpg\" data-id=\"188455\" src=\"https:\/\/roomescapeartist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/snoop-on-the-stoop.jpg\" alt=\"toy of a black man with long braids dressed in a red elf outfit sitting on a faux brick seat\" class=\"wp-image-188455\" srcset=\"https:\/\/roomescapeartist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/snoop-on-the-stoop.jpg 473w, https:\/\/roomescapeartist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/snoop-on-the-stoop-273x300.jpg 273w, https:\/\/roomescapeartist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/snoop-on-the-stoop-136x150.jpg 136w, https:\/\/roomescapeartist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/snoop-on-the-stoop-300x330.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 473px) 100vw, 473px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Snoop on the Stoop<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"606\" height=\"727\" data-attachment-id=\"188457\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/roomescapeartist.com\/white-mistletoe\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/roomescapeartist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/white-mistletoe.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"606,727\" 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;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"white mistletoe\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;White Mistletoe&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/roomescapeartist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/white-mistletoe.jpg\" data-id=\"188457\" src=\"https:\/\/roomescapeartist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/white-mistletoe.jpg\" alt=\"spray of mistletoe with white berries tied upside down with pink gingham ribbon\" class=\"wp-image-188457\" srcset=\"https:\/\/roomescapeartist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/white-mistletoe.jpg 606w, https:\/\/roomescapeartist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/white-mistletoe-250x300.jpg 250w, https:\/\/roomescapeartist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/white-mistletoe-125x150.jpg 125w, https:\/\/roomescapeartist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/white-mistletoe-300x360.jpg 300w, https:\/\/roomescapeartist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/white-mistletoe-600x720.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 606px) 100vw, 606px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">White Mistletoe<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>I hope you enjoyed this fun PG&#8217;s Playhouse-style episode!

By night\u2026and weekends\u2026and afternoons if he can swing it, he is an avid escape room player. Since playing his first room in 2017, he has expanded his range of interests to include immersive theater and just about any puzzle he can get his hands on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He loves games that include elements of spectacle to create memorable experiences. Mechanically, in both board games and escape rooms, Andrew looks forward to cooperation. He especially enjoys when an escape room splits the team into different spaces and demands clear communication to advance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When he\u2019s not puzzling, he can be found talking to his cat or staring at his oven waiting for something delicious to finish baking.<\/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=\"https:\/\/www.patreon.com\/c\/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;A very twist ending.
