This month, we introduced a podcast: The Reality Escape Pod. We’re super excited about the upcoming interview episodes, hosted by David and Peih-Gee Law. You can listen to Episode 0 now.

Some of you have been telling us for years that we need a podcast, and honestly, we agreed. Because of the support that you have been providing, David has been able to invest more of his time in learning the skills that he needed to do this at the level that we hoped for.

What we have is far from perfect, and over the coming episodes you’ll see him slowly improve at editing and mastering. Also, we have some audio recording kinks to get out of the system.

We are so eternally grateful to you all for helping us continue to grow our passion project into something more. I hope that you enjoy what David and Peih-Gee are making. They are pouring themselves into it.

New Perks

With the podcast, we’ve introduced new Patreon perks at many different levels.

These include access to the bonus after-show episode, a monthly game club where David and Peih-Gee discuss the game of the month (spoilers included!), and a personal shoutout on The Reality Escape Pod to thank you for your sponsorship of REA.

Plus you still get all the original REA Patreon perks including access to an exclusive Discord channel, early access to some of each month’s best blog posts, and early access to tickets to Escape Immerse Explore Tours and future events.

Thank You, Patreons!

Because of you, we’re able to try new things, like this podcast. You are all amazing and we cannot do this without your support.

Support Room Escape Artist’s Mission

There are lots of ways to support Room Escape Artist, like buying from Amazon or Etsy after clicking into the links included in this post or backing us on Patreon.

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.

We’re fueled by our community. The conversations, input, and financial support make what we’re doing here on Room Escape Artist possible… and so much better.

My Favorite Patreon Perk

It’s a perk for our supporters, of course, but secretly, it’s a perk for us. Each month, we share a few posts with Patreon backers before we publish them.

Recently, we shared our interview with the first escape room company: A Conversation with SCRAP on their Approach, Cultural Differences, and Adaptation.

We joined Patreon two years ago this month.

We were committed to launching our Patreon page before the end of 2018, but actually doing so was a bit of a mad scramble.

We rearranged our apartment and all of our lights to record that video. Moments after recording, we rushed to the airport for a friend’s wedding and a few days of West Coast escape rooms! We returned to an apartment in disarray… all of the lights pointed towards one spot.

The mad scramble was worth it.

Because of your support over the past two years, we’ve been able to do more, take risks, find new opportunities, and produce content at a higher level. And speaking of producing better content, we should probably record a new intro video for Patreon. We’ve gotten better at video since then.

Thank You!

Thank you to all of our Patreon backers – those of you who joined us back in 2018, joined this fall, and any time in between:

As we stuff our faces and reflect on the times when it was easy to meet up with friends and family to break bread, one of the few gifts of 2020 is remarkable clarity when it comes to thankfulness.

This website is a ridiculous pipe dream that just keeps becoming more and more real by the month.

So many people contribute to Room Escape Artist in so many ways and we’re continually adjusting to recognize the ways that so many people give to us, so that we can keep trying to feed this community.

Over the weekend we launched a new Contributor’s page that contains headshots and bios for all of the folks who actively work on REA & RECON. We’re in awe of the people with whom we’ve been able to collaborate. I encourage you to give their bios a read. Our community is amazing.

We are continually thankful for the incredible folks who contribute to us via Patreon. We’ve met many of you in person already, and look forward to meeting the rest of you in a healthier world.

Thank you
