Our industry is infinitely fortunate to to have countless hundreds of great venues dotting every corner of the globe. So many, in fact, that it’s difficult to choose a favorite place to play, even for us. Escape Authority defines a venue as one of the best by considering several different factors, including, of course, the quality (and Key Rating) of their games, and also the variety of themes across each different offering. After all, the Best Venue should have something for everyone.
