Since their previous appearance on REPOD, they&#8217;ve cemented their spot as one of the top companies in world. Last year, in 2024, they captured the #1 and #3 spots on the TERPECA rankings, with their games <em>Magnifico<\/em> and <em>Forgotten Cathedral<\/em>, respectively. <em>Wardrobe for Sale<\/em> ranked at #14, and <em>Lost Island of the Voodoo Queen<\/em> ranked at #37 in the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s clearly not a fluke. Escaparium is consistently creating world-class games, year after year, and when they&#8217;re not busy opening new games, they&#8217;re renovating and remodeling old experiences. <em>Rain Corp.<\/em> has been given a make-over into <em>Ctrl Alt Reboot<\/em>. They are also overhauling their lobby once again, creating an immersive bar experience featuring a crashed space ship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default

My biggest takeaway from this conversation was that they are very involved in the escape room community and industry. They are constantly traveling and playing games. They attend every convention. For them, it&#8217;s always about the details. If even one small detail inspires their next idea, Jonathan says it&#8217;s gold. That&#8217;s the mindset they instill in their whole team as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"thank-you-to-our-sponsors\">Thank You to Our Sponsors<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We are immensely grateful to our sponsors this season: REA Patreon Backers, PG&#8217;s Playhouse, Buzzshot, and COGS.

Along with his wife, Sacha St. Denis, he started Escaparium from scratch in 2016, growing it into a leader in immersive entertainment. Through hard work, learning from mistakes, and a relentless drive for innovation, Jonathan has built a powerhouse 15-person team dedicated to pushing the boundaries of escape room design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sacha St. Denis is a creative designer and hospitality innovator who loves bringing ideas to life through storytelling, design, and experience. She specializes in creating immersive spaces and concepts that make people feel something \u2014 such as a themed cocktail bar or an imaginative escape into another world. Sacha is hands-on, detail-driven, and a little obsessed with turning wild ideas into something real (and unforgettable).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"support-repod\">Support
