I would like MatPat to do one of these. He seems pretty smart and logical and would do really well in this situations. Well if he doesn't over think EVERYTHING lol
I have a feeling this was actually the first one they filmed and decided to release it later to grab people with the better rooms, to not lose viewers.
This is one of my new favourite shows. I made my friends watch some of the episodes and now they're totally on board doing an escape room. Thanks Guys ♥️♥️
I can't believe the rooms are custom made.. I mean assumed so, but in this episode she confirmed it. A room like this requires renting or making a shitload of (really high quality) props; testing at least a dozen of times, and at different stages in development - especially hitting the right amount of content for 30 mins. would take a lot of tweaking. I can't imagine the resources going into this, and then it's all just for that one playthrough?
Except for the 4 dot puzzle. That one seems like a pretty strong leap in logic that they all need to place a hand on a dot. They should have put some kind of riddle or clue for it to give players a better chance of figuring it out.
Yes, that was completely arbitrary. What's worse, it appeared early and there was no indication of the difference between "this thing does nothing yet" and "you can do something with this now." I suspect that they feel their formula requires the guests yell "Helping Hand!" in every episode and this was their way of forcing it to happen.
I think the series is dead, but I found another escape room tv show (also from a few years ago): Race to Escape. A lot of episodes can still be found on youtube.
ITS MIDDLEMAN!! I've seen Natalie in things and shes looked really familiar, but now I know!!! Im so excited, Im going to have to watch that show again.
These rooms definitely have different levels of difficulty. I think I would have preferred seeing them increase in the degree of difficulty instead of being seemingly randomized. This was by far the easiest and probably would have been a nice starter episode.
is it just me, or was there no red herring in this one? It didn't seem like there was much to distract them from the main puzzles. And also, a lot of the other room has had a final puzzle in the egress zone; the last group would have made it if not for the Fibonacci sequence puzzle at the very end.
Maybe they got complaints that some of the previous rooms were too hard. The sorcerer, prison break, and spy mountain rooms were way more difficult than this one.
I keep hoping that they make a narrative out of Janets jokes about not going anywhere - like these random groups are escaping rooms to make a path and help Janet escape from her imprisonment.
I literally discovered this series today. It's brilliant! I've been doing quite a few of these now with more to come :) PLEASE tell me you have more of these coming. I just binge watched the whole series and loved it :)
Janet's been stuck there for 4 years! I hope someone was able to free her. That would have been a fun way to end it. The last escape room is freeing Janet from her prison. They should bring this back for that kind of special episode. 🤣 She could even be one of the participants.
They missed a golden opportunity to reference Galaxy Quest and still keep it in context. When they all busted out the panel for the escape, one of them should've shouted out, "Oh, great! You broke the bloody ship!"
Yeah, that was easy and dumb. I dunno how the Critical Role peeps got railed with an impossible room, but these guys get a simplistic, sequential room that uses the same gemstones for three different stages AND no red herrings? That's weak.
This is exactly what we compare each episode to as well. The Critical Role team had clues that had almost limitless answers and no real way of working it out. These guys need to get the CR team back on to have another go with a room that is winnable.
I believe they judged the CR team being a group of ppl with a game oriented mind would be better than average and giving them an easy room would be a bit dumb. And tbh they were rigth, the CR team was 1 move away from victory in a room thats way harder than the show average, so if they were on the average show room theyd've demolished it.
It was definetly winable but there were some very screwed up things, like having vochal chords for the potion, have a clue that was "sing" and then say it wasn't the vochal chords...
Lol they are all like " yeah, we did it in the shortest amount of time!" We're awesome!" "We rock!" Like calm down guys y'all literally got the easiest one
Episode 8: fibonacci order.
Episode 9: p means purple.
Last episode I yelled so loud, “cut the yellow wire!!!!!!!!”
It'd be INCREDIBLE to see Rhett and Link do one of these!!!
DaBomb8493 The Game Grumps
I would like MatPat to do one of these. He seems pretty smart and logical and would do really well in this situations.
Well if he doesn't over think EVERYTHING lol
i was just thinking that!!!
They did a bomb game simular 2 it
This room seems much easier than the others.
Cause Hector blackmailed them. He loves his winning
This episode was definitely a shorter ep than any other.
I have a feeling this was actually the first one they filmed and decided to release it later to grab people with the better rooms, to not lose viewers.
That could be it too..
But Michael mentioned that they were the fastest team has escaped so far., meaning other episodes had been shot already.
Petition to bring this show back

Tessie Lightwood they are a lot of fun but very addictive!!
Tessie Lightwood same watched every episode
LOVE IT

Hmmmm this one was easy compared to the other ones... of course they got out quickly, puzzles were pretty straight forward

Too easy! They need to get some ex-Star Trek actors on this show.
This show is one of the best on Geek and Sundry! Love it! Janet Varney is hilarious and awesome :)
Hey, I pretty much bingewatched the whole series after having done my first escape room of my life. I'd be happy to watch more episodes :)
When are we getting more episodes!? I love this show, but seriously... the suspense is killing me!
I think the series is dead, but I found another escape room tv show (also from a few years ago): Race to Escape. A lot of episodes can still be found on youtube.
was this the last episode or is there just gonna be a break? I love this show so much and hope it continues
im so sad i need a million more episodes of this
Janet I have to say that the blue eyeshadow and tie looks really good on you!
ITS MIDDLEMAN!! I've seen Natalie in things and shes looked really familiar, but now I know!!! Im so excited, Im going to have to watch that show again.
Tiny Potato I love Natalie and the middleman so so much, I have a Wendy Watson cosplay
These rooms definitely have different levels of difficulty. I think I would have preferred seeing them increase in the degree of difficulty instead of being seemingly randomized. This was by far the easiest and probably would have been a nice starter episode.
Middleman's DubDub! Natalie Morales!
Also Janet with Korra Blue eyeliner is kind of nuts
Coule we gat a blooper reel from all the escape rooms please please please Janet?!
When are we getting more of these? It's been 5 years!
I have never clicked on a video so fast these Escape rooms are the best
Binged all episodes, can‘t wait for more!
Bring this back! Bring this back! Bring this back!
These videos are the highlight of my week. Your creativity is amazing, and the room design is awesome. Thank you for the content!
MIDDLEMAN!!!!
Yussss!
This room seemed kinda small compared to the others
This is an amazing show, I wish it got the audience size it deserves
I had to watch a TWO MINUTE AD for this. This show is amazing and it was worth it.
"I gotta go to back home to watch Netflix and eat some spaghetti" bruh me !!!!!
Janet's in rare form on this one. Love to do that 'Falling Down' Rifftrax with her.
is it just me, or was there no red herring in this one? It didn't seem like there was much to distract them from the main puzzles. And also, a lot of the other room has had a final puzzle in the egress zone; the last group would have made it if not for the Fibonacci sequence puzzle at the very end.
The colored lights were a red herring.
no, the colored lights were for extra time
There shouldnt be red herrings
I WANT MORE ESCAPE!!!
I am most definitively calling this Planet Janet from now on, that's just gold.

Hey guys I love this show. Are you going to do any more?
I guess not... LOL
I think you mean "Natalie Morales (The Middleman)" in the description. Go watch it if you haven't.
I am so excited to see Craig Cackowski, been missing some Thrilling Adventure Hour!
aw, me too - Slightly disappointed there were no Sparks Nevada references on this one :) POW!
i hope there are more of these in production. i wanna see all the escaping :) You are awesome Janet
This is so cool! You guys deserve 10 times as many views and likes than you get! Keep it up!
I need a new episode!!! ♡♡♡♡
Geek & Sundry should make this a syndicated TV show ! I am certain it will be a huge hit ( w/ Janet Varney )
Escape Rooms are great! If anyone is in the Westwood area of Los Angeles and looking to play a rather hard room, both of Escapedom's are awesome!
I wish this series would continue. I absolutely love it!
actors from community AND parks? love love love it
not even mentioning the fact that Natalie was on The Middleman!? WUT! lol such a great show!
Maybe they got complaints that some of the previous rooms were too hard. The sorcerer, prison break, and spy mountain rooms were way more difficult than this one.
Still waiting on Janet Varney to do an escape room.
I watch that and laugh if she doesn't get out.
YES HECTOR MY LOVE YOU'RE A GENIUS
THIS is the literal best series on this channel
*This WAS the literal best series on this channel. Too bad they killed it :/
Was not expecting a reference to Games World of Puzzles today! Longtime fan of their magazine.
So much entertainment potential with escape rooms. very amusing!
Just binge watched all of these
Can't wait for more!
More Escape! Make it happen, G&S.
This is one of the best show on Planet Janet!!!!
I keep hoping that they make a narrative out of Janets jokes about not going anywhere - like these random groups are escaping rooms to make a path and help Janet escape from her imprisonment.

I literally discovered this series today. It's brilliant! I've been doing quite a few of these now with more to come :) PLEASE tell me you have more of these coming. I just binge watched the whole series and loved it :)
I LOL'd at, "I was going to say 'pancakes' too."
Captain Martinez is back in Space !!
Love this show! It's fun to watch and I love escape rooms! Though this room seemed easier than some of the others
I love these episodes
That guy doesn't not look like Roy from IT Crowd.
Sooo......he does look like Roy?
thumbs up if you read Jhawk's message in Moss's voice.
I AM a giddy goat.
yeah major likeness. im drawing a complete blank on the actor's name... oh got it. chris o'dowd.
I love this show but I enjoy the more challenging rooms more
Fun show! I'm hoping there will be another season!
BRING THIS BACK PLEASE!! i love these videos 💕
Can they please still do this series. I like it
this room is significantly easier than the others, but still a great series!
Am I the only one who thinks Craig looks eerily like Chris O'Dowd?
I MISS THIS SERIES
Hope there's going to be more of these!

YES YES YES!! LOVE THIS SERIES!!!!!! =] =] =]

With all these gems in space I'm starting to think you watched Steven Universe before making this room.
Yeah, that was easy and dumb. I dunno how the Critical Role peeps got railed with an impossible room, but these guys get a simplistic, sequential room that uses the same gemstones for three different stages AND no red herrings? That's weak.

Very true.

Please make more of these!!!!
More Janet Varney wanted!! More escape room wanted!!! More More!!!
I'm a simple person. I see Hector in a video I watch.
imagine ron swanson in one of these except they’re super hard to do. a dream come true
Yo, BRING THESE BACK!!!!!
16:30 Poor guy. Damn you, Craig.
“Purple” “green” and “blue” no longer sound like real words to me anymore😂
Is that NOT-of-the-Today-Show, Natalie Morales?! SWEET!
Are no more episodes being made? Shame, I loved watching these.
Why aren’t there more?! These are awesome
You're so right Janet, I got distracted. We should definitely talk ;)
I'd love to see a behind the scenes on this show
That pillar in the middle is affecting the way the players move in the space in a needlessly cumbersome way.
very cool idea for an internet show hope you do more
Lol they are all like " yeah, we did it in the shortest amount of time!" We're awesome!" "We rock!" Like calm down guys y'all literally got the easiest one
Kind of want to see Janet do an escape room
I'm waiting for the rankings and the championship rounds! Come on!
THIS IS MY FAVORITE SHOW AHHHHHHH
a year without an episode? please do more!!!!!!!!!
Still watching these. Need more seasons!
what happened to this show
They had no more money to create rooms..
Pleas more of these Videos🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼I love them so much
I remember Natalie Morales from White Collar, she was awesome!!!
Craig stole the Anulax Battery. The Sovereign will be coming.
Hector we need you! 😂😂😂
I like how they said it was very minimalistic
Great expectation subversion
