“This episode is brought to you by language that has fallen outta favor in the last century.”

We’re putting the “celeb” in celebrate! Play along as we test each other’s wits with games, puzzles, and trivia, all themed around Los Angeles, the home for this year’s Reality Escape Convention. In keeping with the theme, Season 7 of REPOD will feature guests whose work can be found in LA, The City of Angels. To celebrate, Peih-Gee’s Playhouse is back with another special release episode chock full of games and merriment. We’ve brought back recurring guest Tommy Honton and our esteemed podcast producer Theresa Piazza.

Los Angeles has some of the best escape rooms in the country, not to mention world class restaurants, bars, a thriving theater scene, and of course, theme parks galore. As local Angelinos, Tommy and Peih-Gee’s games tried to highlight a few local escape room gems. Some knowledge of Los Angeles area escape rooms and companies will definitely help when trying to play along. Start getting excited for Season 7, because as one of the premiere entertainment capitals of the world, Los Angeles has a ton to offer when it comes to immersive gaming and events. And that means we’ve got amazing guests lined up for REPOD.
