Escake & Other Celebratory Escape Room Milestone Foods

Every community has its inside knowledge, milestones, and jokes. For escape rooms, one of the best known combinations of all three is the escake.

What’s an Escake?

Created by Sera Dodd, the Western world’s most experienced escape room player, escake is a celebratory cake for playing a milestone escape. Traditionally a milestone escape game is whenever you hit a multiple of one hundred in your escape room play count.

Some are a bit more liberal about it and celebrate on on any multiple of 50. I’ve also heard of people enjoying escake when they play a renowned game. It’s cool. Live a little.

Escake Alternatives

Over on Room Escape Artist, we’re generally dessert-positive and pro celebration.

It’s in that spirit that we have been in the lab testing alternatives to escake. Maybe you don’t like cake. Perhaps you cannot eat it… or you’re just looking for a bit of variety. Whatever your reasoning, we’ve put our best minds on the problem. Here are some alternatives for your escape room celebrations:

Escupcakes

We recommend “Locky Road,” “Room Raisin,” or “Hint Chocolate Chip.”

    A dessert crepe could be an Escrepe.

    Any of these treats can be had with ice cream, or à la code.

    Oh man! I Love these ideas! I had 50 alcohol infused cheesecake cupcakes (amaretto and some sort of strawberry booze) that I brought for my 50th game in LA at a big meet up there. Julie made me a Cryptex Rum Cake for my 100th (because she had to make it and pack it to fly to NOLA and it had to last a week before we ate it on the REA Tour to 13th Gate, not because there seems to be a theme of alcohol infused cakes for me). I love the idea of the “Rice Cryptex Treats”! I think I’m going to make some in the shape and scale of actual cryptexes and decorate the outsides to look like this! I’ve even been considering one of those hyper realistic cakes to look like a cryptex (you know like the cakes that they make to look like a telephone or tennis shoe or a typewriter). I might do that for my next milestone!

    Any site can serve sago pudding or semolina, but only the best sites serve Terpeca Pudding.
