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.
While our tradition is to host the finals in a different country each year - most recently in Bulgaria and Czechia - for our 10th jubilee edition, we are returning to our roots. This year, the event will take place in Wrocław, Poland, where the very first edition was held in 2017.
The anniversary celebration will last three days, starting on November 12-13 with Conference & Expo dedicated to escape room owners, managers, and creators. These first two days will feature a conference, workshops, and a B2B trade fair at Concordia Design in the city center. Following this, the Grand Final will take place on November 14 at Leśnica Castle, where the top teams from the June online qualifiers will compete for the World Champion title.
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.
