Episodes – Rainy Day Adventure Club

Episode 10-3: Well, Bye

rainydayadventureclub@gmail.com (Alex Perry) — Wed, 26 Dec 2018 14:58:34 +0000

It’s our season finale! What does that mean? It means I’ve decided to call it that, to make it seem even more dramatic! But seriously, this episode does have a bit of a season finale flavour to it. Andy, Heather and Ross must finally decide where their true loyalties lie, as the Wizard (remember him, from adventure one?) reveals to them the true character of Mrs Molefield. But can anything actually surprise them about her any more? Can a battle be truly dramatic unless you’re flying through a swirly void on a crumbling platform? In all the chaos, will we remember to address what was going on with Mrs Molefield’s shop door bell? And why is Starbucks the best?

Find out all this and more by listening below!

Episode 10-2: The Jingle Jangle Lipstick Gang

rainydayadventureclub@gmail.com (Alex Perry) — Mon, 17 Dec 2018 23:03:45 +0000

In today’s installment, intrepid fudge-buyers Andy, Heather and Ross finally go somewhere other than Dullston-on-Sea. But where in the world(s) is it? And who are these four eerily wholesome children (plus dog) who seem obsessed with bringing smugglers to justice? We’re getting ahead of ourselves – before any of that, they still have to cringe their way through an encounter with an under-the-weather Imp, and completely ruin the day of an old friend (who none of them have technically met before and who they don’t acknowledge as anything other than a stranger). Enjoy the frivolity while you can, because the next episode is where things get serious!

Episode 10-1: Poem for a Rainy Day

rainydayadventureclub@gmail.com (Alex Perry) — Mon, 10 Dec 2018 00:47:44 +0000

We celebrate our tenth adventure by… staying in Dullston-on-Sea?! What’s going on? Well, you’ll have to listen to find out the details, but it involves Heather, Ross and newcomer Andy interpreting poetry, doing maths in a fudge shop, irritating an ice cream man, and breaking and entering at least twice. Plus a drunk guy asks them the most pointless and rambling riddle that’s ever been on this podcast. Come for all that, stick around for the next episode when more adventurous stuff actually happens! Promise!

Episode 9-3: Remember Who You Are

rainydayadventureclub@gmail.com (Alex Perry) — Fri, 05 Jan 2018 01:54:53 +0000

In the concluding part of our space station rescue mission, our heroes Euan, James, Ross and Scott have five minutes (give or take a few for dramatic effect) to find Stuart and get out before a reckless neon-haired space witch opens fire on them. Armed with their weapons, plus some new knowledge of how to talk to the station’s computer, they set out on a space walk to try to steal back Stuart from Dr Opticon’s lab. But is there anything left of their friend to save?

Episode 9-2: The Armoury

rainydayadventureclub@gmail.com (Alex Perry) — Mon, 18 Dec 2017 01:21:30 +0000

It hits the fan in the second part of our space station rescue mission! Having already used a wrench to great, if morally dubious effect, our heroes search for a secret cache of weapons to continue their rampage. Along the way, James displays almost sociopathic multitasking skills, Euan shows some sporadic commitment to the whole pirate thing, Ross wets himself and Scott delivers a sick burn to an ex-cereal maker.

Episode 9-1: Zip Truffle Alfa-Bravo

rainydayadventureclub@gmail.com (Alex Perry) — Mon, 11 Dec 2017 00:48:04 +0000

Finally, our long-awaited rescue mission is go! With a little help from Mrs Molefield, our heroes Euan, James, Ross and new boy Scott set off on a high-stakes (no pun intended) quest to infiltrate a space station operated by the shadowy organisation known as SEBASTIAN, and recover their vampire friend Stuart. In this first part, they learn how to talk to computers, make – and possibly lose – a new friend, and unnecessarily complicate matters with a wrench. We’re in spaaaaaace!

Episode 8-3: The Centre of the Labyrinth

rainydayadventureclub@gmail.com (Alex Perry) — Sat, 31 Dec 2016 21:49:45 +0000

Just in time for the new year (and I mean JUST in time), our heroes’ adventure in the Labyrinth of a Billion Bones finally concludes. But the minotaur is not all they have to worry about. I mean, it’s a big part of it, don’t get me wrong. It’s not as if it’s just going to let them stroll in there and start pulling its hair out. But there are also riddles to be pondered, enchanted weapons to be mastered, one last secret code to be agonised over, and a sinister presence closing in around the Rainy Day Adventure Club like thick, heavily foreshadowed fog. This is where it all ends. And by “it all”, I mean adventure 8. We’ll do more. But let’s allow ourselves to enjoy this moment of drama, shall we?

We will return in 2017 with … well, hopefully more than two adventures! Our heroes’ next, absurdly daring mission is already being planned, so do check back to see how they get on!

Episode 8-2: Sidestep Right

rainydayadventureclub@gmail.com (Alex Perry) — Mon, 12 Dec 2016 01:16:09 +0000

Armed with only a mirror, a rag and a pair of magical handcuffs, Gavin, Stuart, Val and Mark continue their descent into the Labyrinth of a Billion Bones. First they must grapple with a snake-haired monster who can’t remember whether she is Medusa or not, and decide which one of her stone victims is most worthy to be freed. Then, if they can work out the incantation to open another of those pesky puzzle doors, perhaps they’ll discover what nameless horror lurks in the darkness below. Well, actually, he does have a name, but it’s a spoiler and it’s not very scary, so let’s just stick with nameless horror for the time being, shall we?

On the next episode… well, there’s a very exciting and dramatic “next episode” tease at the end of this episode, and I can’t really do it justice here with just a few lines of plain text. Big stuff happens, I dunno. Listen to the thing!

Episode 8-1: Minotaur Hair Casserole

rainydayadventureclub@gmail.com (Alex Perry) — Mon, 05 Dec 2016 00:48:11 +0000

In today’s episode, adventure veterans Gavin and Stuart are joined by fresh-faced newcomers Val and Mark. Just as well Mrs Molefield’s given them an easy task this time: all they have to do is venture deep into the Labyrinth of a Billion Bones, face the mythological beasts that roam its corridors, avoid falling into the deadly traps that lie around every corner, and find their way to the centre of the maze where the Minotaur awaits. Yawn! Still, I’m sure they’ll find a way to overcomplicate things…

Episode 7-3: On Cuttlefish Island

rainydayadventureclub@gmail.com (Alex Perry) — Mon, 25 Jul 2016 13:31:55 +0000

Washed up on the shore of Cuttlefish Island, four bedraggled figures reluctantly regain consciousness. Hooray, it’s Euan, Heather, James and Ross! And miraculously they’ve managed to hold onto their audio treasure map. And so, without pausing to mourn the loss of their ship and crewmates, they set about retrieving what they came for: a petal of the legendary silverbloom plant. Now, if they can just work out which way is west, they’ll be laughing.

Episode 7-2: The Great Sea Cucumber

rainydayadventureclub@gmail.com (Alex Perry) — Tue, 19 Jul 2016 01:00:30 +0000

As they voyage towards Cuttlefish Island, Euan, Heather, James and Ross take some time to get to know their crewmates, uncovering many dark secrets in the process. How did Earlobe’s earlobe get like that? Why does nobody talk to the bard? And why does Captain Beardbeard seem intent on sailing them off the edge of the map? Alliances will be forged, pointless games of deceit will be played, and the entire system of piratical power relations will be called into question in this, the middle chapter of our most water-themed adventure since the last one!

Listen below!

http://alexperrywriter.co.uk/rdac/RDAC-7-2-TheGreatSeaCucumber.mp3

This adventure will conclude next week! If you miss it, I won’t be angry, but I’ll be disappointed.

Episode 7-1: The Voyage of Captain Beardbeard

rainydayadventureclub@gmail.com (Alex Perry) — Mon, 11 Jul 2016 22:44:44 +0000

We’re back! Euan, Heather, James and new guy Ross are summoned to Mrs Molefield’s shop to help her … bake a pie? It can’t be as simple as that – and sure enough, it isn’t. Before they know what’s going on they are in a seedy tavern bartering with a pirate captain for passage to a remote island. It is no small task for the players to prove themselves to the salty old sea dog, but as Ross makes abundantly clear, he is willing to do anything.

Anything.

Listen below!

http://alexperrywriter.co.uk/rdac/RDAC-7-1-TheVoyageOfCaptainBeardbeard.mp3

From left to right: James, Heather, Alex, Ross, Euan. But don’t think we dressed up as pirates just for this podcast! That would be silly and undignified! No, no, no, we were… we were having a pirate party…

Stay tuned. The voyage continues next week!

Episode 6-3: S.E.B.A.S.T.I.A.N

rainydayadventureclub@gmail.com (Alex Perry) — Fri, 25 Dec 2015 10:04:38 +0000

Celebrate the festive season by joining Euan, Gavin, Heather and Stuart for the conclusion to their not-particularly-festive adventure in Atlantis Library! Squeal with delight as they finally make it to the library’s most restricted section! Gasp with horror at the revelations that take place there! Roll your eyes with impatience as Stuart tries to remember the title of a book and won’t let Gavin look it up! Scratch your armpit as you find out what all that S.E.B.A.S.T.I.A.N foreshadowing was about! Eat some Christmas pudding as the credits roll at the end! Pull a cracker after the episode is finished! From there on, pretty much go about your life as normal, but a little bit happier! These are all just suggestions, of course.

Listen below!

http://alexperrywriter.co.uk/rdac/RDAC-6-3-SEBASTIAN.mp3

Our next adventure will be out some time in the new year, hopefully while it is still relatively new. In the meantime, however you choose to spend your Decembers/Januaries, have a lovely time, and don’t be a stranger!

Episode 6-2: The Lonely Little Seahorse

rainydayadventureclub@gmail.com (Alex Perry) — Wed, 16 Dec 2015 14:53:59 +0000

Having successfully tapped John Knox’s beard (oo-er), Euan, Gavin, Heather and Stuart continue their journey through the Marmite-smelling secret passageways of Atlantis library. This time they’ll contend with a fussy bookworm, Stuart’s uncontrollable urge to turn into a bat at every possible opportunity, and a logic puzzle like that one near the end of the first Harry Potter book. You know, the one with the potions. But it’s totally not ripped off from there. Or if it is, that’s okay because it’s an homage. This is a very literary adventure, after all. (Did I get away with that?)

Listen below!

http://alexperrywriter.co.uk/rdac/RDAC-6-2-TheLonelyLittleSeahorse.mp3

This episode is a little on the short side, but stay tuned for the nice juicy conclusion next week!

Episode 6-1: Dust Bunnies

rainydayadventureclub@gmail.com (Alex Perry) — Sun, 06 Dec 2015 02:40:40 +0000

When Dullston-on-Sea is gripped by an unusual crime wave, Euan, Gavin and Heather drag Stuart before Mrs Molefield for judgement. She decides it is time to do what they should have done a year ago, and sends them off to find an important book. But it’ll take more than a library card to check this one out, as they quickly discover when they are confronted with evil dust bunnies, linguistically demanding ticket machines and the continued, heartbreaking absence of Jerry the Number Elf.

Listen below!

Episode 5-3: Kiss the Stun Pistol, Jazz Hornet!

rainydayadventureclub@gmail.com (Alex Perry) — Tue, 13 Oct 2015 18:52:59 +0000

As Euan, James and Stuart seem within a hair’s breadth of retrieving the elusive pun, how are they to know the horrors that await them? The most baffling code yet! Ominous black and yellow capsules! Robot arms with no respect for personal space! The truth of who runs the pun bank! And maybe … an even more terrible truth. Who is really pulling the strings here? Find out as our fifth adventure reaches its stunning, punning conclusion!

Listen below!

http://alexperrywriter.co.uk/rdac/RDAC-5-3-KissTheStunPistolJazzHornet.mp3

Rainy Day Adventure Club will return soon, with an unusually highbrow adventure! Stay tuned.

Episode 5-2: The Nightmare Chamber

rainydayadventureclub@gmail.com (Alex Perry) — Tue, 06 Oct 2015 13:31:24 +0000

In the dark middle chapter of their bank heist adventure, Euan, James and Stuart are subjected to a brutal interrogation by the pun bank’s security warthogs – and from there, things only get worse. Between facing their fears in the nightmare chamber, banging their heads against a seemingly impossible puzzle, and meeting a dangerous but alluring pun thief, this may be the most intense episode yet. And it has kitties!

Episode 5-1: Mr and Mr Vleeb

rainydayadventureclub@gmail.com (Alex Perry) — Wed, 30 Sep 2015 15:23:32 +0000

After a long, ominous silence from Mrs Molefield, Euan, James and Stuart are finally summoned back to her shop. But what awaits them is not what they expect: instead they meet an old friend who recruits them to pull off an elaborate bank heist! They’ll need all their wits about them as they contend with security warthogs, wannabe game show hosts and puns, puns, puns!

Episode 4-3: Lever Alone

rainydayadventureclub@gmail.com (Alex Perry) — Wed, 15 Apr 2015 20:39:52 +0000

Having conquered the maze of spikes, Euan, Gavin, Heather and Stuart apply themselves to an even more daunting task: getting a door open! This goes on for a while. And then a while longer. But it’s still really entertaining, honest! And after that, exciting stuff happens! This episode includes: more mummy tongue twisters! New friends! Old friends! Ancient powers best left undisturbed! Ominous warnings! Exclamation marks! And more!

Episode 4-2: The Pearl and Vinegar

rainydayadventureclub@gmail.com (Alex Perry) — Mon, 06 Apr 2015 20:43:57 +0000

Having lost their gnomish friend, Euan, Gavin, Heather and Stuart plunge deeper into the temple in their search for stone tablets, antidote and cheap laughs at the expense of unfortunate rival explorers. What they find instead are impenetrable doors, a shrine to the humble capybara, and spikes. And without Shazam to help them, will they ever work out what that darn song is?

It’s time to get serious! In their first Rainy Day Adventure of 2015, Euan, Gavin, Heather and Stuart are given an important mission by Mrs Molefield: they must enter a long-lost jungle temple and retrieve a stone tablet. But their journey does not start well, as they contend with snakes, treacherous rope bridges and overly talkative rival explorers.

Escaping from their Christmas cracker themed cell, Gavin, James and Stuart continue their journey through the endless corridors of Santa’s toy factory – but it isn’t long before they meet a very important person. Can you guess who it is? Probably. But things only get stranger from there. Can our heroes save Christmas in the thrilling, musical, profoundly silly finale to our festive adventure? I do hope so.

Listen below!

http://alexperrywriter.co.uk/rdac/rdac-3-3-richardisgoinghometonight.mp3

Well, that is the end of that, but we’ll be back at some point in the new year! In the mean time, if you have enjoyed our adventures so far, please do tell your friends about our podcast.

Episode 3-2: Into the Toy Factory

rainydayadventureclub@gmail.com (Alex Perry) — Mon, 15 Dec 2014 10:43:30 +0000

While their new friend Darren sleeps like a baby, Gavin, James and Stuart get down to the business of solving puzzles. They grapple with a predictably mysterious note, a candy cane gate, robot guards and Stuart’s insatiable desire to investigate every tiny detail, on their way to infiltrate Santa’s toy factory and find out once and for all just what is going on at Festive Point…

Listen below!

http://alexperrywriter.co.uk/rdac/rdac-3-2-intothetoyfactory.mp3

Our Christmas adventure will come to an appropriately silly and festive conclusion next week!

Episode 3-1: Team Sparkly Balls

rainydayadventureclub@gmail.com (Alex Perry) — Tue, 09 Dec 2014 00:53:40 +0000

A new adventure begins! New guy Gavin joins regulars James and Stuart as Mrs Molefield prepares to welcome a very special guest to her shop. Thus begins their journey to the North Pole to save Christmas – but it won’t be easy, what with dodgy fake beards, sleigh proficiency tests and a dangerous case of mistaken identity that may force them to do something they never thought they would have to do…

rainydayadventureclub@gmail.com (Alex Perry) — Mon, 10 Nov 2014 14:34:39 +0000

In the concluding episode of our spooky second adventure, Euan, James and Stuart find themselves confronting a new foe with a taste for very specific types of blood. Will they make it out of the Vol-au-vent house alive? And will Odric succeed in his ground-breaking if ethically dubious experiment? Either way, the Rainy Day Adventure Club will never be the same again, as the players are forced to make a terrible choice…

rainydayadventureclub@gmail.com (Alex Perry) — Mon, 03 Nov 2014 10:03:56 +0000

As our spooky adventure continues, Euan, James and Stuart head deeper into the Vol-au-vent house! Well, they head upstairs. Does that count as deeper, or is it technically less deep? I don’t know. But they are certainly drawn deeper into the web of ghostly madness that plagues the house, as they go to the bathroom together, make friends with a Vol-au-vent and have electrodes strapped to their bodies. Listen below and all will make sense!*

Episode 1-3: Literally, Magic

rainydayadventureclub@gmail.com (Alex Perry) — Mon, 13 Oct 2014 11:21:34 +0000

In the concluding part of our first Rainy Day Adventure, Heather, James and Stuart find themselves drifting reluctantly back to consciousness. No, this isn’t the hangover following one of Stuart’s nights out – this is even worse! What will the wizard do to them? Can they discover the secret weapons hidden in his words, defeat him in an epic duel and restore the balance of nature to the forest? And if they do, will the final treasure chest play a dramatic tune when they open it? Find out by listening below, or download the mp3!

rainydayadventureclub@gmail.com (Alex Perry) — Mon, 06 Oct 2014 09:47:05 +0000

In part 2 of our first Rainy Day Adventure, Heather, James and Stuart head deeper into the woods, receive elite combat training, spend ages solving a possibly ill-advised anagram puzzle, and take a few shaky steps towards becoming the heroes they were always meant to be!

Episode 1-1: Jump on the Angry Cockney

rainydayadventureclub@gmail.com (Alex Perry) — Mon, 29 Sep 2014 14:55:10 +0000

The first episode of the new podcast Rainy Day Adventure Club is here! You can listen to it below.

http://alexperrywriter.co.uk/rdac/rdac-1-1-jumpontheangrycockney.mp3

Although it might be better just to download the mp3 and stick it wherever you want to stick it!

Rainy Day Adventure Club is a strange beast, and rather hard to describe. In each episode, host Alex gathers a bunch of his friends together in a room and makes them solve puzzles, talk to eccentric characters and generally not act their age. It is a little like a Dungeons and Dragons game, but with less complicated mechanics and more talking squirrels. Or a Choose Your Own Adventure book with more freedom for the players. Or the classic children’s game show Knightmare, without the helmet and with about the same number of silly voices.

But the best way to understand it is to listen to the first episode! Go on, I’ll give you the link again.

This episode features my good friends Heather, James and Stuart. Episode notes, including a text version of one of the puzzles, and references for all the music and sound effects used, can be found over here.

There are two more episodes in this adventure, which will be released on the 6th and the 13th of October. After that, there will be a short break before further adventures are had. Hope you enjoy this introductory episode, and stay tuned for more! You can subscribe to our RSS feed or follow us on Twitter so you don’t forget we exist!
