8 Days Left: Is Your Team Truly Ready for ER Champ 2026?

In exactly 8 days, the digital gates will open, and teams from all over the world will plunge into the mysteries of Sabath during the official ER Champ 2026 Qualifications.

Success in ER Champ isn't just about how fast you can solve a puzzle; it’s about seamless communication, mastering your environment, and playing by the rules. With the clock ticking down, it’s time to run a final check: is your squad truly ready to compete at the highest level?

To help you prepare, we’ve gathered the most critical updates you need to review before game day.

New Interface: Watch the Video Guide

If your team is planning to rely entirely on muscle memory from last year's event, we have an important wake-up call: the online game interface has received a massive overhaul for 2026.

In a high-speed qualification round where every second counts, you don’t want to waste time looking for your inventory or figuring out how to share clues with your teammates. We’ve redesigned the dashboard to be sleeker, faster, and more intuitive - but it is different.

To make sure you hit the ground running, we have prepared a comprehensive Video Guide on our YouTube channel. It breaks down the biggest changes, including:

• Enhanced Inventory Management: How to view, interact with, and combine items more efficiently.
• Real-time Team Cooperation: Tracking what your teammates are looking at to avoid duplicating efforts.
• Hotkeys & Navigation: Tips and tricks to shave precious minutes off your final time.

Know the Rules: Protect Your Team from Disqualification

Being ready also means knowing the boundaries. Every year, our anti-cheat system works tirelessly to ensure a level playing field for everyone. A single careless mistake by one team member can lead to the heartbreak of a total team disqualification.

As you do your final week-out briefing with your squad, make sure everyone is fully aware of these uncompromisable rules:

• The 4-Hour Communication Lock: From the exact moment the level goes live, and for the next 4 hours, sharing or requesting hints, solutions, or game spoilers in public spaces is strictly banned. This includes social media, public Discord servers, forums, and comment sections. Keep the discussion entirely within your private team channels. Streaming your gameplay publicly is of course also strictly prohibited!
• Strictly One Team Per Player: You cannot split your focus or help multiple squads. A player can legally belong to only one team account during the Championship. Playing together side by side by several teams also violates our regulations.
• Zero Technical Interference: Using external scripts, browser extensions to manipulate game mechanics, or attempting to bypass puzzle locks through code injection will trigger an automatic and immediate disqualification.
• Keep Team Names Appropriate: Our community is global and diverse. Teams with offensive, inappropriate, or malicious names will have their names automatically randomized by the organizers without warning.
