About Us

Hi, we're Alex and Dominique! 

We are the founders of Treesap Gamers and the creators of Escape The Rat Race. By day, you'll find us navigating the typical 9-to-5 grind of London life. But by night (and on most weekends), we're on a never-ending quest for that one empty spot in a cupboard for our ever-expanding board game collection. Seriously, it’s taking over.

For us, a perfect game has beautiful art, gets people talking (and maybe plotting against each other!), and sparks a bit of friendly competition. We love discovering new gems, although Dominique will probably never give up her battered 1980s copy of Risk.

Escape The Rat Race started as a passion project born from our own game nights. We were always looking for that sweet spot: a game that was easy enough to teach our non-gamer friends in ten minutes, but that also had enough sneaky moves and comeback potential to keep everyone hooked and thinking about their next turn. We wanted to relate it to real life and create the feeling of working towards a goal, but with a clear finish line and enough jeopardy to make victory all the more satisfying. As our debut game, we were initially funded on Kickstarter and now its a dream come true to see our game available for everyone to enjoy. 

Ultimately, we believe life's too short to spend it all staring at a screen. Our hope with Escape The Rat Race is simple: to give you a great reason to switch off, gather your friends or family, and remind each other what a little friendly rivalry is all about.
