Join Mark and Ryan (and Chris) in a special roundup episode as they check-in on all of the elements that have been created for their town so far. They’ll revisit Benicio the Singing Baker, Eric the Giant, the town fountain, the festivities of GAZEBO, and they’ll even introduce a new citizen or two. They also take a visit to “The Void” where rejected ideas find a strange new life.
