Boomtown story so far and tell him a few of their favourite Maze stories and experiences.  Disclaimer - these episodes...

Slightly off the planned schedule, but we just HAD to put together a little extra hype-filled emergence-y (get it..?) episode after today's much anticipated release of the Boomtown 2020 theatrical trailer!

Mark and Corinne talk about all things Area 404, what happened at the Hallowe'en and New Year's Eve events and get excited about techno wombles, chess pieces and a big ol' nuclear disaster in general.  Coming up the next week we delve into the demented (and indecipherable) diary of Walter Hughes...

Welcome to the first ever episode of Lost in the Maze, the unofficial podcast all about the immersive, interactive, theatrical storyline maze at Boomtown Fair.  In episode 1 Mark and Corinne waffle a bit (a lot) about why the Boomtown storyline maze is engaging enough to actually start a podcast about and what's to come from Lost in the Maze over the next few months.  This is just the beginning......
