Our Escape Adventure Part 13: Michigan Madness!
Greetings from Colchester, Vermont! We’ve started our foray into the northeastern United States, but first we need to bring you up to date on our Michigan shenanigans.
ER Champ is an international escape room competition which consists of two stages: online eliminations and the final. There is also a less official and optional stage: tutorial that serves as a stress test, which will take place tomorrow, i.e. 08.10.2022. What is it about?
Although there is still a month left until the online eliminations, a stage called the stress test will already take place this Saturday. It is a point-and-click mini-game which has two main purposes:
In addition, players will learn what type of puzzles and actions to expect, allowing them to prepare and improve their game.
How to prepare for the competition?
Some teams have been competing in ER Champ (formerly PolandEscape) since the beginning, i.e. since 2017. Their preparations include not only regular visits to escape rooms, but also playing board games, solving classic puzzles or doing puzzles.

Even if he only learned about the existence of ER Champ from this post.

Even with a huge budget, you can fail by organizing a competition in a field that is specific, niche, and that needs to be well understood. Escape rooms are definitely such a field. An entertainment that globally emerged only a dozen years ago has already seen a sports movement. Red Bull was the first to organize such championships, but it is now the Poles who are behind the most popular games.
