Checking off the bucket list of countries that we've heard so many great things about, we are excited to continue to travel the world and meet new people!  This year, we are super excited to travel to Canada, Saudi Arabia, China, Singapore, Taiwan and re-visit the United Kingdom, and more!

Prior to the pandemic, we were fortunate enough to visit a lot of countries and play their escape rooms. Countries such as Italy, Australia, New Zealand, Iceland, Japan, Slovenia, Croatia, Denmark, Hungary, Malta, Mexico, Norway, Netherlands, and the United Kingdom. It's always great to experience the creativity from around the world! This year, we are super excited to travel abroad and add Greece, Israel, and Cyprus to the map.

It's that time of the year again!! For anyone who missed out on ER Champ last year, be sure to sign up NOW!

We had so much fun guest starring the last time on The Infinite Escape Room, we had to come back!!

This Valentine's Day, we collaborated with Eleven Puzzles to bring you a fun little FREE puzzle game that you can send to your loved ones.

Since the pandemic, companies in certain parts of the world have had to re-open and close repeatedly. Sadly, we had to cancel our Europe, Bermuda, and Asia "Escape Room Tours" last year as we were super excited to add those companies & games onto our list!  For 2021, we are going to start scheduling our escape room tours and getting back out there to play in-person games again!  This is of course, based in accordance to the health and safety guidelines.

It's happening againnnnnnnnnnnnnnn! For anyone who missed out on ER Champ last year, be sure to sign up NOW!

Every year we recognize the best games we've played throughout the year.  This year, we've played over 450+ games in the categories of in-person escape rooms, remote escape rooms, audio escape rooms, mobile games, digital games, table-top games, and immersive experiences.  for this reason you will see multiple winners in each category as it was very difficult to select just one winner.  there are simply way too many great games out there so good thing this is our award and we can make the rules on how we like to honor them.

Congratulations to all the winners!

We will be adding more dates and locations in the near future.  

We were suppose to attend UTG's conference in the Netherlands this year along with our Netherland escape room tour but due to the pandemic, everything was canceled.  We are grateful to have recovered from COVID in time to be able to participate at the online festival's breakout room sessions (special shout out to Norbert & Rik for putting this together!). There were many veterans and industry leaders at the online conference and we had an amazing time meeting them. There were also fun digital games offered. See below for a sample of their daily schedule. We hope to meet in person one day but for now let's revisit some wonderful memories!  

We were invited by the Hado USA team to join them at their premiere event at "Player Omega".  Player Omega is an immersive, fully participatory experience with tournaments, open game play, cosplay, panel discussions, art installations, and more!  Competitors can battle through the open-bracket tournaments to win a share of prize pools up to $10k.  Thousands of people attended the event. 

This is our first time visiting the annual UK Escape Room Industry Conference (ERIC) but this is already their third year hosting the event. The 2019 conference was held at the beautiful CEME Conference Centre in the outskirts of London. Getting there by public transportation was quite easy but the organizers also conveniently provided free parking at the venue. The event ran for two full days from 9AM till 7:30PM with “after parties” until whenever! Lunch was included in the ticket price.  

This is our first Escape Room Conference that we've ever attended. This year's Transworld Room Escape Conference was held in San Antonio, TX.

The conference provided seminars, workshops, escape room tours and other activities. This was a two day event but due to our own escape room tour we only had a few hours at this event. There weren't that many vendors here so we're able to see pretty much everything. Check out our YouTube video for a summary coverage of some of the vendors we saw at the event.
