This was the version of this website. For the current version, visit terpeca. The Top Escape Rooms Project is an attempt to find the very best escape rooms in the world by leveraging the experience of the most experienced escape room enthusiasts in the world.
We serve escape room owners and designers by publicly recognizing their achievements, and we serve our fellow enthusiasts by providing an international bucket list of the best rooms to play. These rooms stand out among all the others and exemplify the best of what the escape room industry has to offer.
If you missed the live results show during which these results were announced, you can still watch it here. The Top Escape Rooms Project's mission to find the best escape rooms in the world is clearly limited by the fact that the TERPECAs currently only recognize and honor rooms and companies that support English-speaking players and are in the countries and regions where such players are likely to visit. We humbly acknowledge that this approach fails to recognize many, many world-class escape rooms available around the world, so here we present a list of some of the most trusted websites from around the world that offer awards and rankings that we feel can help fill in many of the gaps left by our approach.
We focus primarily on sites that offer aggregated recommendations, rankings, and awards that are derived from the opinions of many, rather than any sites that focus on the rankings or opinions of a single person or small group of people. If you have any suggestions for more websites we should consider for this section, please contact us at admin terpeca. The Top Escape Rooms Project consists of two phases: a nomination phase and a ranking phase.
In the nomination phase, which takes place during the month of October each year, pre-approved nominators consisting of enthusiasts that have played or more escape rooms are asked to privately nominate up to 11 rooms that they feel should be considered in the conversation for best in the world. Rooms that won the Top Room award the previous year and would otherwise be eligible for the current year are granted automatic finalist status and thus cannot be nominated.
