The difficulty of an escape room is a tough concept to nail. I had the pleasure this week to visit Ultimate Escape Game Atlanta and encounter an enthusiast’s dream- very difficult, but completely fair, rooms! It was truly a great experience for puzzle lovers.
I recently blindly purchased a puzzle game called Cantaloop (Chapter 1: Breaking into Prison). I’ve played a dozen different styles of escape room home games at this point, but even at this point, Cantaloop was quite different than any of the others both in aesthetic and puzzle design. Fans of old point & click computer games will love all the unique elements Cantaloop brings to the table. It’s essentially Monkey Island committed to paper.
Not every treasure has a map. Sometimes it’s the dollar you find in the pocket of your jacket. Other times, it’s your brother-in-law’s lost wedding ring. It really depends on the day, but the life lesson is to never stop looking for treasure- it’ll find you when you least expect it.
ER Champ 2025 Finals are completed! The Finals, broadcast live from Sofia, Bulgaria, brought viewers a thrilling competition with only seconds separating first, second, and third place. I wont spoil who was who, so if you’re curious, check out the stream or the results page. Congrats to the winners!
It’s almost time for another year’s TERPECA results! Soon we’ll have a brand new list of the world’s top escape room games.
I adore a good passion project, especially one that punches above its weight class. Gamebreaker is a new game show with a humble origin – it’s a Youtube series, it has almost no budget, and it doesn’t have any major TV stars attached to draw in new audiences. In spite of that, episode 1 and 2 are a great kickoff to a highly entertaining series that does a great job capturing the excitement of game theory driven shows like The Genius and The Devil’s Plan.
Serena is about to cast a vote for her local council. She picks the candidate with a name that is an anagram of ‘electoral system’. Who does she vote for? A) Caroline Genteel, B) Scarlett Moseley, C) Nicola Gollete, D) Phil Gobolton, E) Lexi Plot. You have thirty seconds… Go!
I recently advised not to underestimate the potential of a two day adventure, and I’ve got another data point to add to the set. A day and a half in Washington DC and I’ve rediscovered the US capital as a wonderful place to stop, even if it’s just for a short while.
The 2025 ERChamp qualifiers are in the books! Congratulations to the teams that finished the fastest and will be making their way to Sofia, Bulgaria for the in-person final round this fall.
Today, I’d like to make one assertion- it’s possible to have a vacation that’s full, relaxing, and a complete disconnect from the daily grind using only three calendar days. I’ve gotten a bit lazy with my vacation planning and have been taking a week off at a time, but from Thursday to Saturday I enjoyed the heck out of the southeast US.
