  2. Episode 2

    S1E2 Sizzle me this

    Team 199 wakes up with a lot of questions. Why are they wearing formal clothes? Why are they trapped in a giant stone pit? Why is a crowd of masked strangers cheering at them? And, perhaps most importantly, why does every answer seem to make things worse? After revealing a few secrets they'd probably rather keep buried, the team finds themselves facing an impossible choice between three mysterious doors: Glory, Valor, and Sacrifice. Surely there's no wrong answer... right? Join Team 199 as they continue their journey, make several questionable decisions, and discover whether misfortune is a skill that can be learned. ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

    The Chimpettes are back, and things have somehow gone from "deeply concerning" to "oh no... so much worse." A suspicious hospital visit quickly spirals into a dangerous investigation beneath the surface, where every answer raises even more questions. With time running out and impossible choices piling up, the team will have to decide what kind of heroes they want to be... assuming they survive long enough to make the decision. Can The Chimpettes uncover the truth before it's too late, or will some secrets stay buried forever? ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

    S1E4 The dragon boy with a tattoo (Part 2)

    *RING RING* You have a collect call from… Benzo Magnifico?! With the clock ticking and the hospital moments away from disaster, The Chimpettes receive some suspiciously well-timed advice from an even more suspicious magical card. One desperate plan, a handful of hope, and several questionable decisions later, the team gets something heroes almost never receive: a second chance. But knowing what went wrong doesn’t mean they know how to fix it. Can The Chimpettes save everyone this time, or are they about to make the exact same mess in a completely new way? ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

  5. Episode 5

    S1E5 I won't have what she’s having

    You survived the hospital... now comes the real challenge... a festival? After a much-needed long rest, The Chimpettes head to Sablewood's Solstice Festival hoping for a little peace, a little fun, and maybe some fried food. Instead, they find suspicious politicians, rigged carnival games, and just enough new clues to make them realize the mystery is much bigger than they thought. Can The Chimpettes enjoy one normal day together... or does trouble have a season pass to the Solstice Festival?

  6. Episode 6 Bonus

    Oneshot: Route 111

    A group of rescued children, one missing guide, and a candy cart that is definitely not suspicious. While making their way toward safety, five young escapees stumble into free toys, questionable adults, and the unfortunate realization that they may have walked directly into another kidnapping. What follows is a chaotic race through caves, wheat fields, lakes, bridges, and one deeply weird encounter with a giant goose. Can these tiny heroes rescue their friends and reach Eldren’s house, or will Route 111 end with everyone becoming just another number? ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

  7. Episode 7

    S1E6 Tha Tha for now

    The Chimpettes have officially left Sablewood... but not before squeezing in one last emotional breakdown, an unexpected wedding, and the adoption of a very loyal goose. As the team begins the journey toward Eldren's house, old wounds resurface, new friendships are tested, and a quiet moment of reflection quickly spirals into the kind of chaos only this group could create. Will the road ahead finally give The Chimpettes a chance to breathe, or is the next disaster already waiting around the bend? ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

  8. Episode 8

    S1E7 Lost in tha tha thought part 1

    The Chimpettes chase the Thought Stealer straight into Everhome, a town that isn't on any map and where something feels very, very wrong. Between questionable shopping decisions, disappearing memories, and a house that seems to remember more than the people inside it, catching one masked thief quickly becomes the least of their problems. What exactly is Everhome... and how much will The Chimpettes forget before they find out? Content warning this episode contains mentions of self harm ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

  9. Episode 9

    S1E8 Lost in tha tha thought part 2

    The Chimpettes chase the Thought Stealer straight into their own memories... which would be unsettling enough without giving Xanax a second Xanax to take advice from. Between a royal bedtime gone wrong, a librarian with a personal vendetta against musical instruments, and some deeply questionable attempts at helping their younger selves, the past is turning out to be anything but settled. And their masked host seems unusually invested in making sure it stays painful. Can The Chimpettes trust what they remember, or is someone counting on them getting the story wrong? ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★
