On 26.11.2022 at 16 UTC, the finals of the ER Champ 2022 competition took place. Also, this year the championship had an international character - more than a hundred teams from different corners of the world stood up to fight for the title of world escape room champions.

This is already the sixth edition full of excitement, fun and, above all, puzzles that we all love. Year after year, we watch with the same interest as the players face off for the coveted championship title. Many teams we know from previous years, some we see for the first time. Regardless of which time you are with us, we congratulate everyone on their determination and thank you for being with us this year as well!

Before we get to the main thing, we will present some statistics from this year's finals.
