New Year, New Projects
There’s a lot to look forward to in 2026. I’ve already kicked off some fun new adventures, some of which I can talk about, some of which I can’t. Regarding the things I can share:
General
Buried Treasure: The Lost Ring
Not every treasure has a map. Sometimes it’s the dollar you find in the pocket of your jacket. Other times, it’s your brother-in-law’s lost wedding ring. It really depends on the day, but the life lesson is to never stop looking for treasure- it’ll find you when you least expect it.
ER Champ 2025 Results Are In!
ER Champ 2025 Finals are completed! The Finals, broadcast live from Sofia, Bulgaria, brought viewers a thrilling competition with only seconds separating first, second, and third place. I wont spoil who was who, so if you’re curious, check out the stream or the results page. Congrats to the winners!
Gamebreaker: A Humble Genius
I adore a good passion project, especially one that punches above its weight class. Gamebreaker is a new game show with a humble origin – it’s a Youtube series, it has almost no budget, and it doesn’t have any major TV stars attached to draw in new audiences. In spite of that, episode 1 and 2 are a great kickoff to a highly entertaining series that does a great job capturing the excitement of game theory driven shows like The Genius and The Devil’s Plan.
Join the 1% Club
Serena is about to cast a vote for her local council. She picks the candidate with a name that is an anagram of ‘electoral system’. Who does she vote for? A) Caroline Genteel, B) Scarlett Moseley, C) Nicola Gollete, D) Phil Gobolton, E) Lexi Plot. You have thirty seconds… Go!
Korean Game Shows: A Tale of Two Hemispheres
I recently shared an update about the new launch of two Korean-style mind game shows- The Devil’s Plan season 2 and The Genius UK. The Devil’s Plan recently wrapped up, and The Genius is nearing its finale, so let me answer the big question for you- how are they?
A Very Bloody Game
I have something truly random to plug today- a subscription to a streaming service called Kocowa Plus. I’ve only been using it for one show, Bloody Game, but even just using it this way, it’s been well worth it.
Seven Seasons of Korean Game Shows
I’ve written previously about how much Netflix’s The Devil’s Plan rocked my world. Since watching this phenomenal Korean intellectual game show, I’ve gone on a pilgrimage of watching other cerebral Korean game shows, and I’ve been loving it. The Genius, Crime Scene, Time Hotel… I’ve watched more than seven seasons of content and can’t get enough.
Christina’s 300th!
Christina’s 300th escape room was supposed to be a simple endeavor. I pegged our trip to Alaska as a great way to make Christina’s 300th memorable by solving a world famous room as #300.
Third Annual Masquerade Tribute Hunt – Starting March 20
The Third Annual Masquerade Tribute Hunt officially begins March 20th, but the fun has already started.
