Escape room best-of list: 38 award-winning rooms across 8 years

This page awards no scores of its own. The scope is France: it shows which rooms have been recognised by independent juries such as TERPECA — with rank, history and source — and alongside them rankings that are pure counts.

How this list is built

  1. We award no rating of our own. The data is too thin for a ranking by user ratings — the exact figure is on the methodology page.
  2. Every award comes from a named jury and is linked individually. We do not reproduce other people’s rankings; we record the single fact against the room.
  3. The order reflects the jury’s current standing: the most recent year first, and within it tier and rank exactly as the jury awarded them. There is no score and no weighting of our own — every column can be re-sorted.
  4. “Nominated” means experienced players put the room forward, but it did not reach the final. That is a vote, not an award — nominated rooms therefore do not count as award-winning and only appear in the table on request.
  5. TERPECA only considers rooms that can be played in English. If a room is missing here, that says nothing about its quality — many outstanding rooms are only played in the local language.
  6. Closed rooms stay on the list with a marker instead of quietly disappearing.

No paid placements: premium changes no order on this page.

Ratings from the community

So far there are 0 ratings covering 0 rooms. We only show a score once a room has 3 ratings — a single voice is not a verdict on an experience. Until then nothing stands here, rather than building a ranking out of a handful of votes.

When we will award our own scores

The thresholds are fixed before the first score is given. We will only set the weighting of the categories once there are enough ratings — a formula for a system that does not yet exist would be a claim, not a method.

  • A score appears once a room has three ratings.
  • Sorting by score starts at five ratings.
  • A city best-of list from user ratings starts at thirty rated rooms in that city.
