Hey there!

Have you ever wondered what’s going on in the escape room industry these days? Are we expanding, holding steady, or facing a downturn? Well, you’re certainly not alone! That’s why we’re rolling out our third annual State of the Escape Room Industry survey this year—to give escape room owners and other stakeholders, like you—a data-based idea of where the industry is, and where it’s headed.

Why take part in the Survey?

We’ve done 2 surveys so far, in 2019 and in 2022. You may well be one of the 206 and 353 respondents. On both occasions, we uncovered meaningful information that would have been pretty useful in leveling up the game.

✅ 3 in 5 escape rooms struggle with creating durable room elements.

✅ 1 in 2 face challenges with balancing puzzle difficulty.

✅ 1 in 3 businesses identify marketing and tech/automation issues as the biggest business challenge.

✅ Mystery, Happy Fantasy, and Historical Fantasy were the top three themes.

✅ Being an adventurer and Escaping an unpleasant place continue to be the most popular concepts.

✅ 3 out of 10 escape rooms have live actors in their games.

✅ Unlimited hint systems became common in escape rooms to boost the player experience.

✅ Maintenance and upgrades typically consume 12.09% of escape room revenue.

Every single participant helps the entire industry by expanding our data pool, which helps us extract better insights into the industry. Plus, you’ll snag a mention on our contributor list (Great SEO Value!) and get the full survey report the moment it’s published.
