Last Saturday - June 24, ER Champ 2023 eliminations took place. They selected 10 teams that qualified for the finals. So time to sum up this year’s eliminations and reveal the best 10 teams in the world.
ER Champ is the largest event of this type in the world. The competition started as Poland Escape (Polish escape room championship) and turned into a global event. Its main goal is to promote the escape room industry and provide entertainment to people all over the world. In recent years, the ER Champ has attracted around 2,000 to 3,000 participants from countries ranging from Japan, France, Poland, Germany to the USA, Canada or Chile.
From 2020, for obvious reasons, the championship has been moved completely to the internet. However, this year’s final returns to the offline formula. The top 10 teams selected in the qualifying rounds made it to the finals.

The final will take place on October 7 in Poznań, Poland, as part of The Great Escape event. It will be a three-day celebration for the escape room industry. The ER Champ finals are scheduled for the second day of the event. The finalists will compete in real escape rooms, which will be built especially for this occasion. They will fight for a trophy and a set of Steam Decks consoles.
This year's plot begins with the online eliminations. Players had to find rescue in a galaxy far, far away, get out of an escape pod, and use alien technology accordingly. The entire competition was prepared by a team made up of international experts and volunteers from the escape room community.
Editor-in-chief, Writer
Journalist and indologist by profession. Writer, marketer, tarantulas keeper and urbex explorer by heart. In the meantime I’m playing escape rooms and board games, and I wonder how I find time to sleep (still dunno). I was born to write - my favorite forms of expression are extensive articles preceded by a long research, and horror stories (for some it’s the same).
On Saturday, December 16, the announcement of the top 100 rooms according to TERPECA took place. Escape rooms from all over the world kept their fingers crossed to be among the top 100. Where do the most outstanding rooms come from? How has the ranking changed from last year? What rooms do puzzle fans like to play in?
World Escape Room Championship attracts thousands of players every year. Last year's contest's finals were held in Wroclaw, Poland. Recently, the organizers announced the start of preparations for the next edition. What is already known about ER Champ 2024?
