A clearer way to follow what’s happening

What's new

  • Recent Activity

    See what’s happening across Escapestamp in one place. Recent Activity shows new stamps, catalogue additions, new collectors, and product updates.

Improvements

  • A smoother stamp workflow

    Grouped room and venue updates can be expanded to see the full list, with links to the relevant catalogue pages. You can also choose Stay on the current page in your preferences to keep adding stamps without being redirected to your passport or shown the stamp animation.

Fixes

  • More reliable activity and uploads

    Activity entries now have clearer layouts, better stamp artwork presentation, and direct links to related content. Activity tracking avoids duplicate entries, stamp and passport displays are more consistent, and artwork uploads now clearly enforce a 4 MB maximum.

  • Activity log (beta)

    Keep track of recent activity in one place. The activity log is currently in beta while we refine it.

Fixes

    Venue suggestions no longer interrupt the flow when adding a room, so you can complete your room submission.

More accessible stamp colors and Canada venues

What's new

  • Canada is now available as a venue location

    You can now select Canada when adding or editing a venue.

Improvements

  • Stamp styles are easier to maintain

    Stamp style properties now use shared styling, keeping stamp previews more consistent across the app.

  • Stamp colors now have a reliable default

    New stamps now start with a neutral default color, so the editor preview is ready immediately.

  • Color choices now include accessibility guidance

    The stamp editor checks color contrast and suggests darker compliant shades when a color may be difficult to read.

A smoother way to collect stamps

What's new

  • Preferences

    Set your preferences for the played-at flow, search settings, and sharing. Choose how dates behave when adding stamps, hide stamps you have already collected, and decide whether you want a share prompt after adding a stamp.

    Click your profile icon (top right), click Manage account, click Preferences (left sidebar or left top three stripes).

  • Near you filter

    Find rooms within 25 km of your location with the new Near you filter.

Improvements

  • Stamps no longer need dates

    You can add a stamp without knowing the date you played the room, then add the date later if you want to.

  • Stamps look better

    Stamp sizing and room-name layouts now adapt more cleanly across passport views and shared Instagram formats, making long room names easier to read on smaller screens.

Search, venue details, and stamp artwork improvements

What's new

  • See whether a venue is organization-claimed

    Venue pages now show whether a listing is claimed by an organization. Organization-claimed venues can keep their details up to date through Escapestamp, while unclaimed listings remain available for collectors.

Improvements

  • Load stamp artwork more efficiently

    Stamp artwork now loads using a smaller, purpose-sized mask image, helping stamp views feel lighter without changing how the artwork looks.

Fixes

  • Show readable country names

    Country labels now display as readable names throughout stamp search, catalogue details, passport entries, and shared stamp locations.

23 August 2026 · 18:34

Smoother navigation and clearer stamp details

Fixes

  • Mobile menu closes after navigation

    The mobile menu now closes after you navigate to a new page, making it easier to continue browsing on smaller screens. (Reported by Tamara Love)

  • Stamp dates stay readable

    Stamp framing now scales the contents dynamically to fit the available space, so dates no longer get cut off. (Reported by Christelvd)

  • Achievement descriptions support formatted text

    Achievement descriptions can now display formatted text and links correctly in the achievement details view.

23 August 2026 · 12:07

Stamp editor early access

What's new

  • Create artwork for rooms

    Collectors can request early access to the new Stamp editor and help create artwork for rooms that do not have any yet. Join the beta and help bring more rooms to life with beautiful artwork.

  • Browse every stamp in one place

    Explore the new stamp catalogue at /stamps to browse beautiful artwork and add stamps from one place.

Improvements

  • Clearer access and permissions

    We reworked permissions across stamp management and organization views, so people see the tools they are allowed to use.

  • Safer stamp editing

    Stamp editing now uses a review queue, quick picks, and temporary locks to keep concurrent changes from getting in each other’s way.

21 August 2026 · 19:20

A smoother way to search and navigate

Improvements

  • Search now shows the full venue

    Search results are easier to explore: when you search for a venue, you’ll see all of its rooms, including rooms whose names don’t match your search. Search also understands alternative room and venue names more reliably.

  • Navigation is easier to explore and extend

    The refreshed navigation groups related sections more clearly on desktop and provides a fuller menu experience on mobile, with account actions and key shortcuts close at hand. Its new structure also gives Escapestamp a stronger foundation for adding future routes and features.

Fixes

  • New collectors get their passport right away

    Passport profiles are now created more reliably during sign-up, so your passport is available when you first start collecting.

19 August 2026 · 08:33

Better stamp artwork, behind the scenes

What's new

  • Artwork that reaches more collectors first

    We created a staff-only artwork dashboard because the stamp catalogue is growing faster than each illustration can be made. It shows which missing artworks appear in the most passports, so the team can focus on the stamps with the greatest collector impact first. That means more of the stamps you have already collected receive finished artwork sooner, while helping us use limited illustration time where it improves the most passport entries.

Improvements

  • Stamp art designed for passport size

    The updated artwork workflow keeps new stamp illustrations clear, focused and recognisable at the small size shown in passports.

A clearer way to add new rooms

What's new

  • New rooms now appear in your passport right away

    When a room is not yet in the catalogue, you can submit it without losing your progress. A placeholder stamp now appears in your passport while we review the room, so you have clear confirmation that it was added.

Announcements

  • 18 rooms added to the catalogue

    Thank you to everyone who submitted rooms that were missing from the catalogue. After review, 18 new rooms are now available to add to your passport.

  • 10 venues added to the catalogue

    Thank you to everyone who submitted venues that were missing from the catalogue. After review, 10 new venues are now available to explore.

17 August 2026 · 21:40

Improved sharing previews and passport URLs

What's new

  • Canonical passport profile URLs

    Public passport profiles now use /passports/:handle. Existing /passport/:handle links permanently redirect to the new canonical URL, preserving shared links and bookmarks.

Improvements

  • Richer link previews

    Passport pages now provide dedicated Open Graph images, giving shared links a clearer, more recognizable preview.

17 August 2026 · 16:50

Smarter search and a growing catalogue

What's new

  • Venue alternative names

    Venue owners can now add alternative names to help players find their venue. For example, Mama Bazooka can include “Mamma Bazooka” as an alternative name, so both searches return the right results.

  • Community submissions processed

    We’ve reviewed and processed around 70 room/venue submissions from yesterday. Thank you for helping grow the catalogue.

Improvements

  • Search finds more

    Search now checks room names, venue names, and alternative names, making it easier to find the right room.

  • Fewer duplicate room requests

    The add-room flow now checks for similar rooms and venues first. When a match exists, players can select it and add it to their passport instead of creating a duplicate request for review.

15 August 2026 · 16:34

Small improvements for smaller screens

Improvements

  • Passport mobile view

    Passports are now displayed horizontally scrollable rather than underneath each other. This improves passport discoverability.

  • Reduced stamp size

    Stamp size has been reduced by 25% to display two columns of stamps on passport pages.

Fixes

  • Passport handles

    The passport overview now always displays user handles instead of real names or usernames.

13 August 2026 · 20:40

Passport directory refresh

What's new

  • Two ways to discover collectors

    Browse a focused Leaderboard alongside the newest collectors to join Escapestamp.

  • A clearer passport directory

    Each section highlights up to ten public passports, so the page is faster to scan.

Improvements

  • Stamp totals now reflect completed visits

    Future-dated stamps stay out of collector totals and leaderboard rankings until their visit date arrives.

13 August 2026 · 17:51

  • Browse the venue directory

Improvements

    Room search now recognises accents and alternative names, so you can find the right room even when venues or players use different wording. (Suggested by Moess)

  • Find and add stamps faster

    Search results now highlight matches, load more of the catalogue as you scroll, and keep venues grouped so the right stamp is easier to scan and select. (Suggested by Moess)

  • Submit missing rooms with clearer feedback

  • Manage venue and room details

    Venue owners can edit venue and room information in a clearer management workspace and see which changes are still awaiting review.
