The podcast episodes explore how the creators of immersive experiences, such as escape rooms and virtual games, draw inspiration from a wide range of sources, including movies, music, video games, and personal experiences like geocaching.

These inspirations and influences play a key role in shaping the design, storytelling, and overall feel of the experiences they create, as evident in the examples provided in the episodes S5E5: Putting the Fun in Fungi and S1E7: Chris Lattner - The Gordon Ramsey of Escape Rooms.
