It's a really cute game, and I really enjoyed the design of the game. The different categories to choose from were fun and also surprisingly educational. Shane and I just ADORE every season of Great British Bake Off, and yet, that love didn't really help us too much. And yet, much fun was had.

We just had too much fun to stop playing it, so here's Part 2 of SuperQuiz! I've gotta get ready to learn how to make sourdough bread with my fren, so enjoy and thanks for listening to our shenanigans, y'all!

We were not prepared for the joy this game gave us, and we bought it at a thrift store for 5.99!!! Again, you can find a bunch of games that you've never heard of at your local thrift store, and honestly, we've only been disappointed once w/ a missing piece. WORTH IT!Anyhoods, SuperQuiz was written by Ken Fisher, from Toronto, Canada and then vetted by the great Isaac Asimov in 1982. We didn't do too badly and I think that's all because Shiz is firmly ensconced in Gen X. Proud to be a part of the "eff off" Generation. Enjoy, and we had to end on a cliffhanger, because there is DEFINITELY a part 2!!!

I might've gotten a bad batch of the anxiety with this episode, but until then, Shane and I had a fun time with Part 2. I blame the current administration, because we really should be having more fun on a daily basis than whatever's happening right now. Anyhoods, we'll have a new game next week for you-- actually it's from 1982 and we're STOKED. You can really find some wild treasures at your local thrift store. Hug your cats and dogs, stay hydrated and/or elevated!

We had a fantastic time with this new offering from Breaking Games. It's a fun, elevated bicker, really, and we hope you enjoy!
At last, the end of our gold-digging career.Many thanks to Shadow Capers for bringing this morally messed up game to us. We truly enjoyed it, and could easily play it again for funzies. The production value is truly a 10/10, and just really a beautifully designed game, so check it out on shadowcapers.com
Part 2 of Shane and me acting like "gold diggers", which is quite a departure from our pretty normal, wacky lives. Neither of us even watches anything from the Real Housewives franchise, so this level of drama is kinda weird.Still though, it's fun to get out of your comfort zone and have zero morals, kind of like our current administration, but not as "long-term damaging". Anyway, F*ck Ice and F*ck Trump.Enjoy the show!
HAPPY 2026!!! Time for season 2 shenanigans now that we can finally celebrate making it through stupidly difficult 2025. Shane does drop one F-bomb in this episode, but I chastise him for it, and he's sorry about that. Anyhoods, enjoy a pretty raunchy game from Shadow Capers. We spend a long time w/ the rules because of the elevation, you see. Totally worth it.https://www.shadowcapers.com/
(Check out my mad photo editing skills on Bill!!!)We got bored and instead of starting Season 2, we decided to do this one instead.We have a pretty fun, but potentially complicated boardgames coming up for Season 2, so for this special holiday episode, we just got all melty and silly. Enjoy, and get melted with us!
Part 2, and that's it for us until 2026, which really must be better than 2025's BS. Happy New Year and all of that good stuff!
Honestly, we didn't mean for this to be a two-parter, but there's about 17% extra funny banter in here that we didn't plan for.That's the nature of Worst Case Scenario though. Enjoy!
Finally, amirite? Yes, it's truly been an elevated journey. Not sure what's next, but you'll have to hear all about Corey and his gd box of cats. Enjoy and sorry, but I ran out of pictures and motivation to wrangle a dog/cat into another photo shoot for the LAST EPISODE of ALONE ON HALLOWEEEEEEEEEN!
Despite what you hear in the episode, it is actually Part 5, and not Part 6 like I confidently and incorrectly concluded.We finally get to the Third Floor, and don't forget that if you want to see the map, there's a picture on our Facebook page. SHENANIGANS!!! BEBOP!!!! MANIACAL LAUGHTER!!! SHANE'S BIRTHDAAAAY!!!!
I need to apologize to all French-speakers for my completely ridiculous impression, and I'm very glad that I (surprisingly) had the smarts to not even think to attempt an Asian accent.This trip around the manor takes us to some places, folks. Enjoy!(The playlist was curated on Spotify, and you can find all Royalty-Free tracks used in the Spooky Elevation playlist. Bill the Cat does a heckin' model. I guess that's it, kbai.)
The episode in which I discover a map and really awesome artwork for the first time since we started this "game".No worries, you can find the images on our Facebook thing. I wouldn't leave you hanging. OR WOULD I???? *cackle cackle
It's Part 2! Recorded on Halloweeen!!! We're still lost in a SPOOOOOKY mansion!!! That's pretty much all you need to know.Enjoy!
This is a bit of departure for us, but we're in our feels about HalloweeEEEeeeEEEeeeeeEEEEn!!! It's kinda like Dungeons and Dragons, but more dungeons than dragons. I dunno-- it's only episode 1 in the series, so there might be a dragon later.I'll guess we'll find out together when we're Alone on Halloween!

Surprise! Shane hung in as far as he could, but the end finally happened. And for me, it was GLORIOUS.

It was truly a "Bad Luck Morning" for Shane, and I found it pretty hilarious. It's okay; we're not done yet, and I hear that Karma is truly a bitch.
