Are you ready for Da Vinci's NEXT challenge?

Calling all room builders! As you are probably aware, we just released a new free room called Leonardo's Workshop last week! In this workshop, the world famous grandmaster Leonardo da Vinci created many of his masterpieces, such as the iconic painting Mona Lisa. Now we want to challenge all of you to create your very own work of art in a brand-new Build-A-Room contest: The Masterpiece Challenge! For the Masterpiece Challenge, we want you to build...well, a masterpiece in the Room Editor! This means we would like you to channel all of your creativity to make something that belongs in a museum. Whether you want to go all out and create a full-on gallery or just a single art installation, it's up to you! If you want to, you could even recreate your favorite work of art in the form of an escape room! As long as it qualifies as a masterpiece, anything goes! Think you're up to the challenge, but don't own Escape Simulator yet? You're in luck, because the game is currently 25% off during the Steam Spring Sale! https://store.steampowered.com/app/1435790/Escape_Simulator/ This contest will take place from March 17 at 6PM CET until March 31 at 6PM CEST. Submissions will be considered if they are sent in before the deadline on March 31 at 6PM CEST. We hope you're feeling creative, because as always, the winning contestants will get some awesome prizes!

Prizes

While we can't reveal what the grand prizes are going to be just yet, we can assure you that it's going to be something that will definitely blow your minds! If you've been keeping up with the previous Build-A-Room contests, you might know that we like to go big when it comes to rewarding our loyal room builders. That's why for the very first Build-A-Room, we gave out a grand total of $2000! As for the previous two contests? Well, we think the following images speak for themselves.
