Theresa Piazza

Great Gotham Challenge, Room Escape Artist

Theresa Piazza has turned a lifelong love of puzzles into a career in immersive entertainment. She is the COO of the Great Gotham Challenge, where she helps design and produce large-scale puzzle adventures that transform New York City into a playground for curious minds.

She also contributes to Room Escape Artist, writing about escape rooms and immersive experiences and producing REPOD, a podcast dedicated to the craft and community of immersive entertainment.

Theresa’s hobbies look suspiciously similar to her job: puzzle hunts, crosswords, jigsaw puzzles, and collaborative board games. When she’s not puzzling, you can usually find her outside—SCUBA diving, paddle boarding, rollerblading, or birding.

Luckily, we have secured a second, smaller block of rooms at Le St-Martin Hôtel & Suites. This is a 5-minute drive away from the RECON venue. If you missed out on the original room block, Le St-Martin Hôtel & Suites is our choice among the many hotels in the area. They are providing a special RECON rate of $209 CAD per night (plus taxes) that includes breakfast, wifi, and parking.
