Author: Richard Burns

RECON Team, Industry Correspondent & Writer. Richard is a player enthusiast from Wisconsin. He is a writer, a RECON volunteer, and a bit of an escape room philosopher. For him, reading, writing, talking and thinking about escape rooms and what they can be is just as interesting as playing them. Always on the lookout for innovation and advances in the industry, Richard appreciates the business of escape rooms as much as the games themselves. He values story, character, and creativity over pure puzzling. He sees a bright future for the industry as it evolves into a more mature storytelling medium.
