The best escape games are essentially immersive theater experiences that allow the audience to become a part of their storyworld. As with any quality show, a cohesive beginning, middle, and end are crucial, but the last moments of a game can make or break the experience. Be it a memorable reveal, a climatic conclusion to the narrative, or a shocking twist that no one sees coming – some games stand out for their phenomenal finishes.

Congratulations to our winners of the Keys To Greatness – Best Surprise Ending – Remote 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.
