Room Escape Artist

If you’re a regular reader, you might have noticed that the 60 minute timer doesn’t feel so standard anymore. Creators are increasingly embracing longer (and also shorter) game clocks. And that’s not the only given that game designers might want to reconsider.

What if you aren’t constrained to four walls and sixty minutes?

Through creating outdoor escapes, experiences for museums, and portable games, Emma Rochon of Improbable Escapes will discuss how finding new ways to deliver experiences provides stability and unique creative outlets for her business and team.

We are thrilled to welcome Emma to RECON!

If you’re looking to extend your RECON trip and visit other parts of Canada, consider a trip to the delightful town on Kingston, Ontario, where you can play the many games at Improbable Escapes, including Golden Lock Award Winner The Mysterious Miseries of Franklin N. Stein.
