MCG Escape Room Tracker
My passion overtook my brain and led me to develop the MCG escape room tracking app, a practical tool for escape room enthusiast. This app allows players to input various metrics and provides analytics on based on the users experiences. Users can view data across all rooms, filter results by country, or refine their adventures within specific date ranges. Additionally, the app helps users find nearby escape rooms and includes feedback on how other players rated the scare factor of each room. It also shows the number of rooms completed from the TERPRECA Top 100 list, giving a sense of accomplishment among fellow escape room enthusiasts.

game review rating scale
For some of the written reviews, I try to give each game a rating that reflects my overall experience and enjoyment. Below is my approach to ratings, which includes various factors such as gameplay mechanics, thematic elements, artwork, and replayability. These ratings are similar to those found on BGG, ensuring a standard benchmark for comparison among different games.
Perfection. I will always play this game when given the chance. I might even go out of my way to play this one. It will definitely be a staple in my collection for years to come
Amazing. I will always enjoy playing this game and will probably choose this over many other games
Great. I enjoy this game and will be happy to choose to play it again.
Very Good. I will usually chose to play this game again.
Good. Would play again and but may choose other similar games first.
Average. I could play again but I wouldn’t actively seek it out. Is more in the background of the collection.
Not so Hot. Something about this game did not click for me but I could easy see why others might be into it.
Bad. I did not like this game and I would not play it again. This game will not be kept in the collection.
Oh dear. There are stand-out issues with the game and I feel they have a huge impact on playability. I would not recommend.
Abysmal. So bad it defies description (just as BGG says)
