Now we’ve got all that “serious” stuff out of the way, we can get on to the main reason the Escape Room World Championships is so good; the unserious stuff! This post is both the easiest to write and the hardest to do justice, but never mind all that, let’s…
The Red Bull Escape Room World Championships culminated in an actual escape room being played. Imagine that! If you just want to see what it looked like, you can watch some not very popular YouTubers playing it below (with cameo appearance from my teammate, Sera, doing a good job of…
21 of the 22 competing teams for the Red Bull Escape Room World Championships 2019 met up in London on Thursday 11th April (the 22nd team, Switzerland, would arrive the following morning). We knew from the information we’d seen in advance that the semi-final stage would be very different from…
