Room Escape Artist

This week, the Reality Escape Convention (RECON) announced the trio of Kim Belair, Ariadne MacGillivray & David Bedard of Sweet Baby Inc. as speakers at this year’s digital, global RECON.

Escape rooms may be real-life entertainment, but the industry’s roots rest in video games.

With that in mind, we found 3 brilliant video game narrative designers to sit down and explore what else the escape room world could learn from the medium that birthed it… and in turn, explored some aspects that video games could learn from escape rooms.

We just recorded this session a couple of days ago, and we cannot tell you how excited we are to share it at RECON.
