I own two escape room venues and want to expand beyond our city without renting more space
Hey everyone. I own two escape room venues and want to expand beyond our city without renting more space. I'm thinking about portable games to take bookings at schools, corporate events and festivals. Anyone added portable escape rooms as a second revenue stream? Weekdays are slow at our venues, and I'd love to use staff time better.
We did exactly that, and it's now around a quarter of our revenue. We bought two portable escape rooms https://erworkshop.com/portable-escape-game/ from Indestroom and send them out with a game master to offices, schools and events. It uses our existing staff on quiet weekdays, which is the best part. Setup is fast, and the props handle constant travel. Corporate clients book repeatedly for team building. Honest caveat: you need a vehicle and a staff member free to travel, and pricing has to cover travel time. Tip: pitch it to your existing corporate customers first, they already trust your brand and convert fastest.
