Top 25 Escape Rooms in the United Kingdom - February 2020
In February we witnessed the global expansion of the COVID-19 virus. We are all trying to figure out what this means for our personal, social, and work life situations.
The data we collect for these ranking lists may provide some insight regarding the impact this will have on the escape room community in the months to follow. From the data we have been collecting, we now can run reports that examine trends for specific businesses (e.g., past six months), and with a little effort, may be able to expand this to see what the impact will be by region/country.
In February, the UK gained another position in the world’s top 10 positions as seen in the February
Top 100 Escape Rooms in the World as another UK business became eligible for ranking. This business is eeek! Escape Rooms (Linlithgow) which debuts at #2 in this list! Several other businesses also become eligible for ranking, but they do not appear in this list).
We are currently watching two businesses that may become eligible and enter the top 25 within the next three months. They are Compendium Escape Rooms (Bury) and X-it Games (Shipley).
There was not much movement otherwise. Navrtar (Ealing) moved up 5 positions and is now at
#24. Good job and welcome to this list!
Note that downward movement in this list is NOT necessarily an indication that the average rating for a business has decreased specially since additional businesses have joined the ranked set. You can pull up the January ranking and put the two side-by-side to see how the average for a business has changed.
Here are the statistics:
Total number of businesses: 454 (no change from last month)
Number of ranked businesses (after filtering): 294 (up 13 from last month)
Average rating for ranked businesses: 4.79 (no change from last month)
Standard deviation for ranked businesses: 0.26 (no change from last month)
