What Are the TERPECAs and Why Do They Matter?
If the Oscars and the Olympics had a puzzle-loving baby, it would be the TERPECAs.
Founded by escape room aficionado Rich Bragg, the awards bring together highly experienced players from around the world to highlight the most outstanding rooms in the industry. This year, over 1,100 rooms were nominated globally, so making the list is no small feat.
