Booking systems for escape rooms

A booking system for your escape rooms, from booking to the last clue

Groups book late at night, ask for a voucher and want a price for six people, not one. We build booking systems for escape rooms and other games: rooms by the slot, prices per group size, vouchers and team events, with the code and player data owned by you.

The prototype and the quote are free, with no commitment.

What do your people and customers see?

Prices per group

The price changes with the number of players and the day, and the group pays together or each player pays a share.

What can a booking system for escape rooms do?

You don't have to order everything at once. Start with booking and payments.

Rooms by the slot

Each room has its own game length and reset time. Players see the free slots of every room on one page.

How the Time-slot generator module works

Gift vouchers

Vouchers bought online, sent by email and used at booking.

How the Ledger wallet module works

Game masters

Shifts for game masters, matched to the rooms that are booked.

Players and waivers

Players add their names and sign the waiver before the game, so the leaderboard and photos are ready.

Team events

Companies book several rooms at once for one group, with one invoice.

How the Invoicing module works

Reminders

Emails before the game with the address and how to get in, so teams arrive on time.

When is your own system worth it?

A ready-made platform is a good start. If it does all you need, stay with it. Your own system makes sense when:

  • You run several rooms or several locations
  • Group pricing doesn't fit the tool you use
  • You sell vouchers and team events
  • Fees grow with every booking

What custom booking software includes

Compared with SaaS

What do escape rooms gain over a SaaS platform?

A platform is rented and shared. Your own system is built for you and owned by you.

  • Prices

    On a SaaS platform: The tool prices per person or per room, not both.

    With your own system: Prices follow the group size and the day, the way you set them.

  • Cost

    On a SaaS platform: A fee on every booking and every voucher.

    With your own system: One fixed price, with no commission on bookings.

  • Vouchers

    On a SaaS platform: Vouchers are sold in a separate shop.

    With your own system: Vouchers are sold and used in the same system.

  • Your brand

    On a SaaS platform: The booking page looks like every other room on the platform.

    With your own system: The booking page is part of the game, in your own style.
