Event location

Hydropolis Center for Ecological Education

Hydropolis is an extraordinary place - a center of knowledge about water combined with a modern form of the exhibition. The museum is located in a 19th-century underground tank of clean water, which served its function until the 21st century.

Through the use of modern multimedia technologies, interactive installations, replicas, and models, MPWiK - the manager of the museum, wants to show water from different perspectives and convey to the recipients how valuable it is.

The finale

Especially for this occasion, we are building two dedicated scenarios. Contestants will have to go through two 20-minute escape rooms as quickly as possible. The story will be a continuation of the plot from the ER Champ 2023 eliminations.

You will be able to watch their struggles live in Hydropolis or in the form of a live stream at your home. Our commentators will keep commenting on the team's progress. We will also try to talk to each team after their turn and ask about their impressions of the game.
