Top 100 Escape Rooms in the World – November 2019
November marks the sixth month that we are updating our Top 100 Escape Rooms in the World list using all individual review ratings from Google, Yelp, and TripAdvisor. The timing is good with the Black Friday, Small Business Saturday, and Cyber Monday sales – if you look through our Facebook or Twitter feeds, you will see many great escape room deals, mostly in the US and UK. Perhaps then players can take advantage of some of these deals and play the top escape rooms identified in this list!
As usual, several additional businesses became eligible for ranking as they now have greater than 150 reviews. Six appear in this month’s Top 100 list, one in the Top 5.
The new entrant in the Top 5 is Escape Room 125 in Santa Venera, Malta at #5. Others entering into the Top 100 (either for the first time or re-entering) include This Way Out (Schaffhausen, Switzerland) at #56, Fox in a Box (London, UK) at #57, Alcatraz Escape Room Cagliari (Cagliari, Italy) at #62, Crack It Bolton (Bolton, UK), and ElämysTeeri room Escape (Tampere, Finland) at #84.
Several made significant jumps including Tricky Escape Clacton (Clacton-On-Sea, UK) up 14 to #30, Other World Escapes (Portsmouth, UK) up 13 to #49, Escape Game Bielefeld (Bielefeld, Germany) up 33 to #64, Escape Rooms Unlocked (Punta Gorda, Florida) up 37 to #68 and Key to Escape (Statesville, North Carolina) up 127 positions to #96. Impressive!
There was also some very impressive movement outside the Top 100. Endorfin (Prague, Czechoslovakia) moves up 152 positions, Breakout Games DC (Washington DC) moves up 153, and Mindmaze Kuwait (Kuwait City, Kuwait) moves up 165 positions. Nice!
We love stats and for those of you who also love statistics here are some:
Total number of businesses (total*/open): 9,043/8,563
Number of ranked businesses (after filtering): 3,489
Average rating for ranked businesses: 4.72
Standard deviation for ranked businesses: 0.22
* Total value includes permanently closed businesses.
Please note that a business dropping in the ranking is not an indication that they are performing worse. You can compare to previous months lists to see if the average ranking has changed. Movement downward is often due to new entrants that are increasing the competition.
