Streamline your escape room bookings from start to finish

An unforgettable escape room experience begins with easy booking. With Eventbrite, you can create a dedicated, professional-looking event page for each of your unique themes, whether it's a detective mystery or a sci-fi adventure. From there, you can build out a seamless booking system that works for you and your players.

Build Your Booking Strategy

  • Master your schedule: Use our timed entry feature to create specific, recurring time slots for each room. This prevents double bookings and helps you manage player flow throughout the day.

  • Customize ticket options: Easily set up different ticket types. Offer private room buyouts for corporate groups, sell individual spots to fill a public game, or create packages for special events.

  • Boost off-peak bookings: Create promo codes to offer discounts for less popular time slots or weekday afternoons, ensuring a steady stream of players.

  • Simplify check-in: Every ticket comes with a unique QR code. Players can pull it up on their phones for quick scanning with the Eventbrite Organizer app, getting them into their adventure without delay.
