The essential rules

Everything that matters for a fair and transparent selection.

Entry

Who can take part?

  • Anyone with an EscapePrime account may take part.
  • The creator must keep a valid email address on their account so they can be contacted.
  • Minors may participate with permission from their legal guardian.
  • The Investigators’ Workshop unlocks after at least 1 completed game outside the tutorial.
  • Access to published community adventures requires completing at least 2 distinct adventures from the official catalogue.
  • Once the Workshop is unlocked, public tests, adventure creation and the Ideas Lab remain available without completing the 2 catalogue adventures.
Reviews

Which reviews count?

  • A player must be signed in and have completed the adventure before posting a review.
  • Creators cannot review their own adventure.
  • Each player counts once. If they review several versions, only their latest review is retained.
  • The selection average is calculated from the overall rating given by players.
Integrity

Original work and fair play

  • Creators guarantee that they hold the necessary rights to all text, images, audio and other published material.
  • Multiple accounts, automated reviews, coordinated manipulation and bug exploitation are prohibited.
  • At each signed-in launch, EscapePrime records a device identifier and IP address in the account history so fraud checks can be carried out.
  • EscapePrime may invalidate fraudulent reviews, recalculate the targets and withdraw a selection obtained unfairly.
Selection

Joining the official catalogue

  • When the published adventure reaches 25 unique reviews and a minimum 4.5/5 average, a 72-hour verification period begins.
  • The adventure automatically joins the official EscapePrime catalogue after those 72 hours if both targets are still met.
  • The creator agrees to reasonable editorial or technical adjustments required for official publication.
Reward

The $30 gift card

  • One gift card worth 30 US dollars is awarded after the adventure’s selection is confirmed.
  • EscapePrime contacts the creator and arranges delivery manually.
  • The reward cannot be exchanged for Golds or cash, or transferred to another account.

Programme updates

EscapePrime may update this programme. Changes apply only to future selections and are published on this page. These rules are governed by French law.
