Escape Authority has long-aimed to be the Social Hub for the Escape Room Industry, and in our first three years, we have quickly become the most respected source of in-depth, honest game reviews on the internet, thanks entirely to you, our loyal readers. In short order, the site’s features grew to include literally hundreds of detailed reviews, the single most comprehensive world-wide venue map in existence, thought-provoking articles, a dedicated discussion forum, a huge database of free-to-use discount codes and weekly giveaways of free private games at the very best venues around the country. Today, we mark the launch of our third birthday celebration, in what will be a more-than month-long event absolutely jam-packed with content. So, let’s take a look at just some of the excitement the next five weeks will bring:

• All new detailed game reviews will continue to debut each week from Monday to Friday at 1 pm EST.
• Our second annual Readers Key Tournament returns to allow you, our readers to choose your Favorite Venue of 2019! Voting begins daily at 4 pm EST.
• For the first time ever, Escape Authority will present venues across the country with the Keys to Greatness, our own official site awards, covering twenty different distinct categories. But nothing we do is on a small scale. Two of the twenty different categories will be revealed each Saturday and Sunday – one at 12 pm EST and one at 2 pm EST. Each individual category will see a Gold, Silver and Bronze Key Winner. These awards, just like our Readers Key – Favorite Venue honor will be permanently posted in each respective review on our site, as well as be shared with each winning venue so that they may include them on their own sites and social channels.

Because our social channels will be so busy with the Readers Key Tournament and our Keys to Greatness Awards, we will temporarily be suspending our weekly EA FREE PLAY! Giveaway Contests – but don’t worry – they too return June 2019!

The excitement begins now, so be sure to check back at 4 pm EST this afternoon for the full bracket reveal of this year’s Readers Key Tournament, including details on how voting will work as well as a special bonus round!

But most importantly, it all comes back to you, our readers. Escape Authority wouldn’t be the most respected source in the escape game industry had you not bestowed that honor upon us. We’re so very grateful to each and every one of you – from the casual players to the hardcore enthusiasts, from game masters to designers to venue owners – for your continued support over the years. Our passion is fueled by your passion, and together we will continue to strive to ensure the escape game genre is a long-lasting and most-cherished form of entertainment into an infinite future.
