The Escape Game Awards, renowned reference to elect the best escape rooms

Created in 2015 by the Escape Game review blog EscapeGame•fr, the Escape Game Awards are as of today, the only event that puts in competition the best escape rooms and Escape Game brands of France, Paris and elsewhere.

This event’s mission is to promote the best escape games of the Capital and all over France. It considers the quality of the adventure and the experience offered to the players, as well as the riddles, decoration and many other elements. The reviews and awards from this event are a reference in the Escape Game world.

To award these different prices, the Escape Game Awards chose to rely exclusively on the escape game players this year. They were invited to vote for their favorite games from the 7th to the 14th of October 2020. The websites and blogs specialized in Escape Rooms voted the same way. In each region, it was possible to elect its favorite room or brand in three categories:

• Award for Best Game rewarding a room’s storytelling and high-quality gameplay.
• Price for Best Decoration for the best scenery and immersion
• Award for Best Escape Game Brand crowning the best overall Escape Game brand for high-quality games, skilled game masters and great customer service

Last year, the votes from the blogs and specialized websites counted for 30% of the final evaluation. The remaining 70% came from the public. In Ile-de-France, twelve blogs participated in the 2019 edition. In 2020, the choice relied only on the players’ votes.
