National Escape Game Chains bring consistent quality experiences to new players all across the country. Some franchised and others corporate-owned, National Chains help to ensure the growth of our genre by exposing new players to a recognizable brand name with each expansion into new locations. For the purposes of our consideration, Escape Authority looked to chains with locations in at least two different states in an effort to truly recognize those brands with a far-reaching impact on our industry across the country.
Escape Authority is honored to announce our 2021 Keys To Greatness – Best National Chain winners:

Congratulations to our winners of the third annual Keys To Greatness – Best National Chain award!
With more than 1,000 games played across the site, being picked as one of the best three in the country is a well-earned honor to truly be proud of!
Some Remote Games were offered only for a limited period of time in 2020. As long as their host venues remain operational, we will continue to recognize their efforts with our 2021 Keys to Greatness – Remote Awards, even if a remote version is no longer offered.
With so many deserving games worthy of recognition, our goal is to ensure these Keys To Greatness awards are attainable to all – not just those with blockbuster budgets that might be otherwise out of reach. As such, it’s important to note that we have, as much as possible, limited games to winning a single category – but every game will still be qualified to win the coveted Keys to Greatness – Best Game award, as well as the Keys to Greatness – Best Remote Game award.
*Although the games I’ve personally designed are consistently very highly rated by both enthusiasts and newer players alike, I cannot in good conscience nominate an attraction I created. As such, those games and the venues that call them home have been intentionally omitted from consideration for any Keys To Greatness award.
