If you are old enough, do you remember how big frozen yogurt stores were in the mid-80's? And then they disappeared. I heard a man at Transworld say "Escape rooms are going to have less life-span than frozen yogurt stores did in the 80's."
Unlike a frozen yogurt store, however, he said escape rooms can take virtually nothing to open and the market will quickly over-saturate with decent escape rooms and also escape rooms by people who probably have no business opening one.
Apparently, their are a crap-load of businesses out there in need of team building opportunities.
Met one serious business person at Transworld, who had a couple "successful" escape rooms and was planning to open several more, they were complaining about "fly by night" escape room operators and people just getting into the market to make a quick buck. I asked, "How long has your business been in operation". Answer, 11 months. I guess 11 months qualifies as a long time veteran of the "escape room" business.
That said, I have decided to open 100 escape rooms all in one building, a multi-multi-plex of escape rooms. Maybe I can get the WORLD RECORD for owning the most escape rooms? Time will tell.
I am also thinking of starting up the ERAA... Escape Room Attractions Association... our stated mission to serve as the official voice of the escape room attraction industry. Our mission to protect our customers and promote escape room attractions around the world.
Also wanted to let you all know that I have a "Mood Ring" and "Pet Rock" for sale.
