TOP WORLD
BY ” LE MEILLEUR ESCAPE GAME “
Updated in february 2023
What is the best escape room in the world? How hard is to answer this question… However, we really wanted to share with you this short list of the best escape rooms. Creating this page was a way for us to remember those 20 moments of madness that will stay with us forever. We hope you will find inspiration for your next escape room trip.
Of course, this top is completely subjective and is not supported by any statistical model. Moreover, we obviously did not wait to play all the rooms in the world to submitt this ranking.
We have no words to describe the masterpiece of Lockhill… Is this the 3rd generation of escape room? The space is huge and could easily contain 3 or 4 traditional escape rooms. The set and atmosphere are stunning… Count on perfectly orchestrated appearances and stunts, just like the rest of the rooms of Athens. Actors also give some amazing roleplay and excitement moments. The story of Chapels and Catacombs perfectly completes the trilogy that precedes it. It might be wise to play the first adventures before playing here.
Impressive and epic, Cibercity 2049 embodies the perfection and renewal of the escape room industry. Escape Barcelona is definitely not a brand like the others… Each new room is another step in innovation. The set was so amazing that we didn’t want to leave the room. A tip: take the time to explore everything and be curious, because a large number of hidden actions are hidden everywhere.
Beyond what can be expected from an escape room. The Dome exceeds the limits of the possible and the imaginable. Never before have we been so disoriented by an immersive adventure. Is the Dome the climax of the escape room? Who will ever be able to do the same?
A powerful sound and a scenario worthy of a great SF movie make The End a world-class venue. An immersive show that will never be forgotten. Did you know that DarkPark collaborated with the creators of Westworld to create this masterpiece?
Brandon Darkmoor is the masterpiece of The Room… It is worth a trip to Berlin. What to say, except that the wonderment is total and constant throughout the game. The work on the sound and light atmosphere is carried out with a masterful hand. So much so that a staging effect made us completely lose our mind. As its creator (Chris Lattner) explains, each action of an escape room must be consistent and related to the scenario. Amen, you’ve got it all figured out and said it all. That’s what made you successful. Brandon Darkmoor is definitely one of the best escape rooms in Europe.
Here, we are close to an immersive adventure like the Secret Cinema or the Live Thriller. And you may know that we love it. It is more than advisable to watch the movie “Don’t breath” before playing this room. Indeed, fidelity to the feature film is close to perfection. Forget the puzzles and let yourself be carried by the action.
Huge, a bunch of surprises… Molly’s Game has a lot in common with The Dome, but there is a difference in size: the place of the storyline. The script clearly is the centre stage. In addition, Molly’s Game amazes with unique riddles and beautiful set.
Tú También Flotarás lives up to the overwhelming expectations that preceded our test. The room’s sucess is based on the interactions you can have with the clown. An incredible actor’s performance that will stay with us for a long time. You will explore 320m2 of surface and several floors. You will continue to progress inside the mansion and discover ever more terrifying rooms.
Deep Inside has created a unique concept that connects its two scenarios. The adventure takes place at the heart of a mysterious underground city.The idea is as original as it is brilliantly realized. Moving from one scenario to another is so perfect, so fluid. It’s incredible to have such a coherent and well-designed experience.
Like “Don’t Take a Breath”, The Live Thriller is more of an immersive experience than a traditional escape room. Realism is pushed as far as it can. We sometimes wonder whether everything we see is pure fiction or is really happening… Moreover, the creators warn you on his website with this message: “All you risk is believing in it”.

NATHAEL
Cubick
@Mataro/Spain
Nathael is a kind of evil jumanji. A game in which you are forced to perform terrifying challenges. Supernatural scenery and movie scenes await you in this dark house.
#12🇪🇸
TOMB HUNTER : AKASHA’S LEGEND
Escape Barcelona
@Barcelona/Spain
The designers of Escape Barcelona are full of skills to create such marvels. Akasha is the most successful action/adventure game we have played. Special effects and setting would even make Hollywood studios blush.
#13
HIDDEN CHAMBER
Salzufler Unterwelt
Bad Salzuflen/Germany
Hidden Chamber is an escape room far away from German tourist destinations. Without the wise recommendations of local players, we would never have come to play at Salzufler Unterwelt. We have to thanks them because this escape room is a must. Using an authentic historical place, they have built an epic adventure. When you solve a puzzle, many sound and luminous effects improve the immersion. It is no surprise that “The Room” was involved in creating this room!
It’s big, it’s beautiful and we still want more. The feeling of coming back to childhood is more than enjoyed in this adventure. What you need to do makes you feel like you’re living in a fairytale. Probably the best room in Switzerland for a long time.

TAO MASSAGE CENTER
Virus Room Escape
@Calella/Spain
So much fun! Tao Japanese Massage Center will give you a state of perpetual euphoria. In a quality set design, you will take the greatest pleasure in performing crazy actions. A must-play in Europe that fully deserves its rank at TERPECA.

EL EXORCISTA
No Exit
@Athens/Greece
Again, having seen the movie is a plus to fully savour the adventure. Here, it is the performance of the actors that is fabulous. Moments when you can only stand still and contemplate the beauty of the choreographies. A horror film, but in real life…
#17
TOKYO LAB
Escape Rush
@Bruxelles/Belgium
It is for this kind of astonishing room that we travel outside of France. Tokyo Lab is an amazing escape room from every angle. The scenery of the first part is the most perfect replica of an alley of Tokyo. As for the rest of the adventure, it reserves a story line of breathtaking anticipation. Tokyo Lab is one of the jewels of Europe’s escape rooms and takes Belgium to another dimension.
The characters of your fairy tales are on strike and you have to fix it! Fairy Tale Regulations has a multitude of worlds and a fantastic narrative. Undoubtedly one of the best rooms in Paris.
#19🇮🇹
BIRTH MACHINE
Mad Machines
@Milan/Italy
Birth Machine is not a room like any other. The crazy idea of the creators of Mad Machines is to make you relive your own birth. The design is brilliant and creates funny situations. Hilarious and memorable!
Alien Origin scares people like a Ridley Scott’s movie. You never know what is the threat, what is its shape, its size and especially when it will attack. Adapting such a cult science fiction theme is often risky. Except when you have the creative talent of Escape Barcelona…
