From the very first edition in 2017, held under the name Poland Escape, the World Championship has been growing in popularity - and with it, our experience. Over the years, ER Champ has gone through many transformations, all with one goal in mind: to deliver world-class puzzle entertainment to players from all over the globe.
Even though in previous editions we always gave 100% while preparing the games and the live finals, the 10th edition calls for something more. This year, the finals will take place in Wrocław, Poland, and we plan to give ten times as much, creating unforgettable moments and memories for everyone who takes part.
This year’s edition of ER Champ will take players on a journey into the extraordinary world of Slavic myths and legends. If you already know what a bies is, how to tame a bagiennik, or who dwells at the bottom of a well - wonderful! And if not, this year's main characters, Milena and Sambor, with a little help from the Slavic gods, will guide you through this mysterious world.
As early as June, you will discover why licho never sleeps and what lurks deep within the forest.
Qualifications
A monstrous Bies is terrorizing the settlement, and the only way to banish it is to seek the favor of the gods atop the Holy Mountain. Join our heroes on their journey to the heights, where they must prove their devotion through ancient rituals to save their village. This is a high-stakes qualification round for the 2026 World Finals—only the 10 best-performing teams will advance to the ultimate showdown in Wrocław.

Stress test
Step into the folklore of Lower Silesia and help Milena and Sambor find their way home. With the village gates barred and the streets deserted, you must face the legendary Liczyrzepa to regain entry to the settlement. This level will introduce you to our core game mechanics and allow you to encounter some of the most iconic creatures from Slavic mythology.
