This month saw around 800 teams take place in the ER Champ Eliminations online. If you like data, you can read up on all the data from the ER Champ over on Lock Me. Since the ER Champ Finale is taking place in person this Poznań, Poland this year, only 10 teams 'passed' and will be travelling to the finale. In recent years, the ER Champ has attracted around 2,000 to 3,000 participants from countries ranging from Japan, Hungary, Poland, Germany to the USA, Canada and Chile. | | | | 2022-2023 EGA National Excellent Reality Game Selection - Finalists Announced
Whilst not available in English, escape room fans in China have been voting for the best 'reality game' experiences in the country, including (and forgive my poor translation skills): "secret rooms", "interactive dramas" and "puzzle games". The finalists have been announced, and I believe there is one more round of voting before the winners are announced. | | | | Last but not least, a word from our sponsors: Buzzshot
After popular demand, Buzzshot is super excited to announce a new feature on their escape room management software: Email marketing. The new feature combines the power of marketing with the existing CRM so owners can send targeted and personalised emails based on Team Names, Escape Times, Win Conditions, and more.
