Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about escape room design

Escape room design investment varies based on complexity, room size, and tech requirements. Most projects range from $8,000-$30,000 for full-service design including story development, puzzle creation, room layout, prop sourcing, and game master training. Design-only packages start at $5,000. During your free consultation, we'll provide a custom quote based on your space, budget, and vision.

Most escape rooms take 3-6 months from concept to launch. This includes 4-6 weeks for design and puzzle development, 6-8 weeks for construction and set building, and 2-4 weeks for playtesting and refinement. Rush projects can be completed in 8-10 weeks with limited customization. Timeline depends on room complexity and your team's availability.

We specialize in design and creative direction—story, puzzles, flow, and aesthetics. For construction, we provide detailed plans and can connect you with trusted builders or oversee your contractors. We also offer design-only packages if you have in-house construction capabilities. Our role is ensuring the creative vision translates perfectly into the physical space.

We design experiences, not just puzzle collections. While generic rooms rely on padlocks and codes, we create immersive narratives where every puzzle advances the story. We've designed 20+ successful rooms with 95% player ratings because we focus on storytelling, innovative mechanics, and emotional engagement. Our rooms create memorable moments players talk about for years.

Absolutely! We specialize in designing rooms that maximize your existing space—whether it's 200 or 800 square feet. We'll assess your layout and create a design that works within your budget. Many of our best rooms were designed for tight spaces and modest budgets. Creative solutions often come from constraints, and we excel at making every square foot count.

Every design includes extensive playtesting before launch to identify and fix issues. Post-launch, we track player feedback and metrics for the first 30 days. If the room underperforms or players report issues, we'll make adjustments to puzzles, difficulty, or flow at no additional cost (as part of your service package). Our goal is 90%+ player satisfaction, and we stay committed until you hit that mark.

Yes! Full-service packages include comprehensive game master training covering room operations, hint delivery, reset procedures, and customer service. We provide detailed operations manuals, troubleshooting guides, and emergency protocols. We'll train your team on-site and provide ongoing support during your first month of operations to ensure smooth launches.

We design both single rooms and multi-room facilities. Many clients start with one flagship room to test the market, then add 2-3 more rooms for variety and increased capacity. We can create a multi-room roadmap that diversifies difficulty levels and themes to appeal to different audiences. Multi-room packages receive volume discounts and shared design elements for efficiency.
