Room Escape Artist

“I love it. It’s so bad.”

At a glance, it’s glove at first sight. But gamers in the 80s and 90s soon threw up their hands in disgust while trying to get The Power Glove to power anything besides their rage.

Prolific podcaster Adal Rifai joins us to explore The Power Glove and play some games. Adal is certainly no stranger when it comes to puzzling podcasts. His podcast Hey Riddle Riddle features a trio of improvisers solving riddles and lateral puzzles. Adal has recently launched a new show called Gumshoes & Dragons that’s a bit like Colombo meets D&D. Today’s game is called Power Glove Box, where every answer will be a video game term mashed up with another common word or phrase.
