The Problem

ESCAPE ROOMS
LOSE BOOKINGS EVERY DAY

You're losing bookings every day your time slots sit empty. Groups call at 9 PM looking for weekend availability, no-shows waste your time, and your staff can't keep up. There's a better way.

You Miss Calls When Groups Want to Book

Someone's planning a birthday party at 10 PM, calls, and gets voicemail. By the time you check messages in the morning, they've already booked with a competitor who answered instantly.

The Cost
$1,800/month
Lost per empty time slot

Your Team Is Drowning in Calls

While you're running a game, three more calls come in. Booking requests, puzzle hints, waiver questions—you can't be everywhere at once. Groups get frustrated waiting, and you lose bookings.

The Cost
40+ calls/day
Per escape room location

Groups No-Show and You Lose Revenue Forever

You hold a time slot, prep the room, and show up. They don't. You send one follow-up text that gets ignored. That's it—they're gone. No second chance, no recovery, just wasted time and another empty session.
