Leaderboards

Customize Leaderboard

Configure per-room ranking metrics and customize the look of your leaderboards — rank by time, points, or clues, and style the public display

Leaderboards add a layer of fun to the escape room experience. Teams love seeing where they rank — whether they cracked the top ten or just barely made the board. That excitement carries over to the debrief page, your public leaderboard on your website, and lobby displays where waiting groups can see the times to beat. Rankings are configured per room, so each escape room has its own leaderboard with its own metrics.

Configuring a room's leaderboard

Go to Leaderboards in the sidebar and select a room from the Escape Room dropdown. The settings panel shows the ranking configuration, and the preview on the right updates in real time as you make changes.

Ranking order

The Ranking Order section controls which metrics appear and their priority:

Time Remaining
Shown by default. Teams ranked by how much time they had left.
Points
Hidden by default. Rank by points earned.
Clues
Hidden by default. Rank by fewest clues used.

Toggle each metric on or off with the switch. Drag metrics to reorder — the first visible metric is the primary ranking criterion. When two teams tie on the primary metric, the next visible metric breaks the tie.

Pro Tip: For rooms where most teams escape, "Time Remaining" alone keeps things simple and fun. Add "Clues" as a secondary metric if you want to give an extra edge to teams that needed less help.

Length

Use the Length dropdown to choose how many teams to display: Top 5, Top 10, Top 25, or Top 50.

Customize appearance

Go to Leaderboards in the sidebar. The Appearance section controls how the leaderboard looks on your public page and embedded widget:

Dark Mode
Toggle between light and dark themes.
Highlight Top 3
Visual emphasis on the top three teams with a podium display.
Show Percentage Meter
Bar showing each team's performance relative to the top team.
Background Color
Pick a custom background color. Click Reset to restore the default.
Accent Color
Custom accent color for highlights and headings. Click Reset to restore the default.

Appearance settings apply across all rooms at your location. The preview on the right updates in real time as you adjust settings.

Which groups appear on the leaderboard

Only groups that meet all of these criteria are included:

  • The group is completed
  • The group escaped (game result is "Escaped")
  • The group has Include on leaderboard enabled (this is on by default)
  • For time-based ranking, the group has a recorded escape time

Groups that didn't escape, or where Include on leaderboard is turned off on the group details page, are excluded.

Behind the Scenes: When teams are tied on all visible metrics, group size is used as a final tiebreaker — smaller teams rank higher.
