19.01.2022 When we opened Rescue the White Rose and Sabotage the Enigma in April 2017, we were planning a pop-up lasting a handful of months, testing two ideas basing an escape room heavily on history, and making a game featuring a human character. On Sunday 3 March of this year, well close both Rescue the White Rose (the more historical game) and Sabotage the Enigma (the more theatrical game), making it a rather long pop-up at about two years long. Weve enjoyed the time very much,... and were happy to say both ideas passed the test. Its been rewarding creatively and a pleasure to welcome groups and deliver a fun and interesting experience. Weve learnt a lot in running the games and the business behind it. The thing is that were a bit worn out. Over the last two years weve both been working on our day jobs as well as running Second Telling Missions, and its been a lot to have been doing. So what next? The first thing will be to take a break for some months and reacquaint ourselves with having weekends. This will probably mean well spend time refining and trying to choose between the many fresh ideas weve had over the last eighteen months or so. We already have our favourites; wed like to experiment again and do something that is a little removed from an escape room. If/when we decide to go ahead with something new, well let you all know. What will happen to Second Telling Missions? Well, seeing as though weve built up a pretty decent profile over the last two years, well see if anyone would like to buy it and turn it into a larger escape room business, or even become partners with us. If not, well hold on to it and use it as the vehicle for whatever new thing we embark on. Up until Sunday March 3, well be running the games as per normal, so if youve played one game and have been meaning to play the other, you have until then to do so! Wed like to thank our gamemasters Lakia, Sam, Jon, Jace, Zoe and Jonti for doing a wonderful job, and Lili, Courtney, Ed, Mick and Prue for helping us build the games. Finally, wed like to take this opportunity to thank you very much for supporting us over the last two years. Patrick and Paulina Owners Second Telling Missions

15.01.2022 But were there escape rooms in 2000 BC? And if so, was an Egyptian theme considered the latest and most sophisticated? https://www.abc.net.au//4000-year-old-board-game-/10622674

15.01.2022 Were sad to say goodbye to our neighbours The Bach Eatery, who are having their last day today. Such a lovely team cooking some of the most amazing food in Sydney - good luck back in NZ, guys! Well miss you!
