Room Escape Artist

We are proud to share just how much the Room Escape Artist team accomplished over the past year.

In addition to publishing over 380 blog posts, the team produced several successful events, including RECON Remote 25 and three Escape, Immerse, Explore Tours, with two of those going to international destinations. These events connected our community with peers and ideas from across the global escape room industry.

Our YouTube channel saw significant growth in 2025. With the announcement of the REAction Award winners, the shorts announcing each Golden Lock Award winner, the full REPOD catalogue of episodes, and past RECON Remote Speaker Sessions, the platform has become an increasingly important way for us to share content. We’re excited to continue expanding our video offerings in the year ahead.
