Wow guys, maybe you didn't noticed, but you started talking about "011" after 1 hour, 11 minutes, and 11 seconds

Anyway, you asked about the meanings of the name of "011"... well:
011 is the hypothetical year of the adventure.
011 is also the number of hours left before Ragnarök begins.
And, if you think about it you may find many other meanings for it: some people think that the number indicates the qualities of Intuition and Invention, and you will need both to win; the 11th tarot card is "the Justice": isn't Ragnarök something like the "Judgement Day" of Norse Mythology, when the Righteous will go to the Gimlé? Have fun, and find other meanings, there is a lot of hidden secrets in 011...
Oh, last but not least, 011 is also the dialing code of Turin.

Anyway, thank you very much for your notes about the game, and good luck with your podcast, i enjoyed it very much.

As one of the authors of Alcatraz I must say it is truly an honor to be number one expected game in Essen. Thanks Henrik

I really do hope that the game will rise to your expectations

Hope to see you in Essen...

Karl, that's six.

I suppose that's to be expected... the British education system, eh? Teaching people that six is five since 1849.

Well, you know what inflation's like over here at the moment... But really, one of them's an expansion, so I think it's only 5.5 and I rounded down... erm, and other excuses as well.
