  1. 0:00Josh locks down the mansion and grounds, challenging three pairs to solve their way out.
  2. 0:17Simon, Harry and Ethan use Polaroid clues to search for their handcuffed teammates.
  3. 5:22Ethan and Tobi unscramble body-part words on washing-line pegs, then attach them to Tobi.
  4. 9:14Simon and Danny connect a riddle to a tarot table, a throne and an envelope.
  5. 10:48Hidden burner phones bring Harry and Vik a sequence of trivia questions in the conservatory.
  6. 13:06Coloured-string trails send the pairs searching indoors, with Ethan and Tobi following the wrong yarn downstairs.

Before anyone can escape the mansion, half the contestants need rescuing. Simon, Harry and Ethan sprint off with Polaroid clues to find their handcuffed teammates, scattered between the woods, tennis court and grain silos.

That's the opening assignment in "SIDEMEN FIRST TO ESCAPE THE MANSION", which has drawn about 1.2 million views since yesterday. Josh runs the game, with Simon paired with Danny, Harry with Vik, and Ethan with Tobi. The whole property becomes an escape room, rather than just a locked bedroom with a combination padlock.

Finding a partner isn't enough: the rescuers must answer history questions to release them. Then the puzzles get stranger. Ethan and Tobi find wooden washing-line pegs bearing scrambled body parts and attach them to Tobi. Simon and Danny follow a riddle towards a tarot table and a throne. Harry and Vik investigate a bathtub before discovering hidden burner phones ringing in the conservatory, each bringing another trivia question.

The routes also leave room for a very Sidemen sort of confusion. While Simon and Danny tackle a coloured-string trail indoors, Ethan and Tobi follow the wrong yarn into the basement.

For viewers, the puzzles have prompted a second game: assessing the game master. Several comments question whether the teams' tasks are equally difficult, particularly Harry and Vik's phone challenge, and whether Josh offers too much help with the final riddle. Others focus on Harry and Vik being paired together and Vik turning Harry's own lines back on him.

October's restaurant lockdown made completing challenges the price of leaving. Here, Josh has considerably more hiding places, and a conservatory full of phones to keep his contestants occupied.
