May 15, 2026.

It’s hard to imagine that we’re just days away of our milestone 10th Anniversary! We’re immensely proud to have launched something that would quickly become the most respected source of in-depth, honest game reviews on the internet, and are equally proud of all the hard work that went into achieving that behind the scenes.

But make no mistake, we wouldn’t be where we are today if it were not for you, our loyal readers. And as we prepare to launch our special month-long 10th birthday party, you are the thing we are most thankful for.

The first thing you’ll notice is our brand new EA 10th Anniversary logo. Keep an eye out for this beauty on our official homepage and the EA Facebook page beginning this Friday!

In addition to brand new slate of highly detailed reviews coming soon, there’s lots of special content on its way that’s worthy of such a celebration:

We’re excited to announce the return of one of the most popular features in EA’s first ten years, the Keys to Greatness! This year, our own official site awards will cover more different categories than ever before! New award-winning venues will be announced every single day, and each individual category will see a Gold, Silver and Bronze Key recipient.These awards will be permanently posted in each respective game’s review on EA, as well as be shared with each winning venue so that they may include them on their own sites and social channels. Be sure to check back this Wednesday, May 13, 2026 when we reveal all of the details for this years awards, including when they begin, the record number of different categories being honored as well as a few brand new surprises we’ve not done during prior Keys to Greatness events!

Another ultra popular fan favorite EA feature will make its return upon the conclusion of our Keys to Greatness awards. Early next month, it’s your chance to win a FREE private escape game experience for you and your favorite teammates, all thanks to EA FreePlay Giveaway. We’ll be partnering with some of the very best venues around the country to give away games to you, our readers, completely free!

And all throughout, we’ll be looking for a whole host of passionate new voices to join the EA Team!

You might just be the perfect fit! Why not help us make a difference in the industry by sharing that hype with our readers who are always hungry to learn more about all things escape game?If this sounds like you, please reach out to our founder Chris directly, by emailing Chris@EscapeAuthority.com.
