Over the past decade, the UK escape room industry has grown enormously, driven by passionate creators, talented designers, ambitious companies, and a community that continually pushes standards higher year after year. There is an extraordinary amount of creativity and craftsmanship within our industry that deserves to be recognised and celebrated.

With that in mind, we are incredibly excited to announce the launch of the UK Escape Room Awards 🏆

Organised and created by a collaborative team of experienced players from across the country, the awards aim to celebrate and honour the very best experiences and creative talent within the UK escape room scene through a rigorous, transparent, and community-driven process.

The awards will be nominated and voted on by the community itself, with eligibility and voting requirements designed to ensure a fair, credible, and experience-driven process. Full details on categories, nominations, voting, eligibility requirements, and the structure of the awards can be found in the FAQ section of the website here:

We cannot wait to share more with you, and come together to celebrate this incredible industry!🎉🔓🔑
