We're Building Something. Want to Help Us Scale It?
Escape Tech operates immersive entertainment experiences out of Salem, Oregon. What started in 2018 as the first escape room in the city has grown into a five-room operation across two locations, a 32-foot mobile escape room trailer serving the Pacific Northwest, a live-hosted virtual product used by groups around the world, and an in-house technology stack that runs all of it.
What We Operate Today
- Five themed escape rooms across two Salem locations — a downtown flagship and a partnership at the Salem Kroc Center.
- A 32-foot mobile escape room trailer with two independent themed rooms, delivered to events across Oregon and Washington with full setup, game masters, and a flexible session schedule.
- Live-hosted virtual escape rooms via Zoom, with in-room staff acting as the players' eyes and hands — sold to corporate teams across the United States and abroad.
- A downtown party room and gaming lounge for adjacent celebrations, birthdays, and social events.
- Corporate and large-group event programming, including multi-room buyouts, gift certificates, and white-glove scheduling.
What We've Proven
The multi-venue partnership model works. Our collaboration with the Salem Kroc Center shows that escape rooms can plug into community-anchor venues, sharing capital and operating costs while expanding audience reach. That template is replicable across markets.
Mobile multiplies the same operation. The trailer brings the same rooms, the same game masters, and the same booking and payment systems to corporate offsites, college orientations, festivals, and private events all across the Pacific Northwest — opening an addressable market many times larger than a single brick-and-mortar service area.
We own the technology stack. Our booking, payment, and calendar systems; our room-control telemetry (Cryptix); our leaderboards and training portals; our operator role and notification systems — we built all of it in-house, on infrastructure we control end-to-end. No SaaS vendor can change our pricing, our customer experience, or our roadmap. That moat compounds over time.
Revenue is diversified. Seven distinct revenue streams across in-person, virtual, mobile, party, lounge, corporate, and ancillary products. No single channel is load-bearing.
Where We're Heading
Scale the mobile fleet. Additional trailers, broader service radius, more event verticals (corporate offsites, trade-show activations, campus tours). The unit economics carry: same content, same brand, same technology, more locations served simultaneously.
Replicate the multi-venue partnership model. The Kroc Center collaboration is a template — additional community-center, hospitality, or entertainment partners in adjacent Pacific Northwest markets extend the brand and customer base without proportional capital outlay.
Lean further into corporate and large-group business. The highest-margin segment of our existing book, with the longest booking horizons and the most predictable demand. We have the in-house tooling to scale this without adding overhead.
License the room-control technology. Cryptix — the in-house system that drives our room mechanics, climate sensors, and live telemetry — is built on infrastructure we already maintain. Licensing it to other independent operators is a high-margin, low-CapEx product line that turns our technology investment into recurring revenue.
Open to Conversations
We are not running a formal capital raise. We are open to conversations with investors, strategic partners, and venue operators who understand small-business growth and want a meaningful role in helping us scale.
