CALLING ALL ROOM BUILDERS!
Starting today, Escape Simulator will be collaborating with HyperX and OMEN for a VERY special room building challenge! The winners of this challenge will be rewarded with a variety of products provided by both brands. See the full list of prizes below!
To get a chance of winning these awesome prizes you will need to build the ultimate gaming escape room with Escape Simulator’s in-game room editor! In order to build this ’Ultimate Game Room’, you will need to make use of a full set of assets that represent real-life HyperX and OMEN products. You can find these assets in the Room Editor. Submissions will be considered if they have been sent in before April 11, 2022 (6PM CEST / 9AM PT / 12PM ET)
We aim to announce the winners on Monday, April 25! As we want to play every room thoroughly, depending on the amount of submissions the picking of winners might take longer than expected. We will communicate this in a timely manner if this happens!
