The Key Awards are open to any escape room players who wish to enter.
An entry consists of three photos for three different escape rooms, each showing your escape time; entries will be ranked by the average of their three times.
The rooms must be in the UK, with a time limit of at least 60 minutes, and you must have played them no earlier than 1st January 2023.
For rooms with a limit longer than 60 minutes, the escape time will be scaled (60 minutes to escape a 90 minute room being considered equivalent to taking 40 minutes to escape a 60 minute room).
(There are of course many ways to cheat at this, for example by playing a room more than once, by hammering the hint button, or finding a way to skip a large section of a room. We reserve the right to disqualify entries where there’s reasonable doubt whether the time was achieved fairly, but primarily we rely on an honour system – this is about good-natured rivalry and a bit of fun.)
