Turnkey Room Business – Operating Locations

Overview

Turnkey Escape Room Business For Sale – 4 Operating Locations Included. This is an opportunity to acquire a proven, multi-location experiential entertainment business with all four operating locations included in the sale, spanning two paired metro markets:
Atlanta, Georgia (2 locations) and Chattanooga, Tennessee (2 locations). Time to Escape is a turnkey operation with established systems, trained staff, proprietary game content, and strong customer reviews. The business operates as two market pairs that support cross-promotion, staffing flexibility, and operational leverage within each metro area.

• Asking Price: $785,000
• SDE: $222,000
• Gross Revenue (approximate): $971,000
• Location:
  
  Atlanta

The portfolio includes approximately 19 indoor escape rooms across four venues, plus outdoor escape experiences at each location powered by the Cluetivity platform. The Brookhaven location includes an established arcade/game bar with alcohol service, creating a differentiated guest experience and an additional pathway for private events and higher-margin revenue opportunities. The business also includes the capability to deliver off-site/mobile events (24 events held last year), further diversifying revenue beyond in-store bookings.

This mix—escape rooms, corporate team-building, private parties, special events, outdoor experiences, game bar operations, and mobile events—reduces reliance on any single location or format and supports stability and scalability.

A key differentiator is the presence of premium live-actor escape room experiences, which enhances the guest experience, increases memorability, and supports strong word-of-mouth and repeat visitation. The four facilities are fully built out and operational, including room build-outs, furniture, equipment, and operating systems, with a mature staff and processes in place.

At the Brookhaven location, an optional asset sale is available for the arcade/game bar equipment and related hardware: 14 pinball machines and 11 arcade machines available under separate negotiations. The core escape room business is sold independently of the arcade assets and operates successfully without them. A buyer may purchase the arcade assets and operate them on-site, contract with the seller to manage and maintain the arcade operations, or engage a third-party operator.

This structure allows a buyer to tailor the acquisition to their operational preferences and overall strategy.

The seller will provide comprehensive training to ensure a smooth transition for the new owner, including daily operations, staff management, booking and reservation systems, game operations, customer service standards, and marketing practices. The buyer will also receive training on vendor relationships, pricing strategies, and event sales processes.

• Paired-market cross-promotion (Atlanta + Chattanooga): coordinated metro-wide marketing, referral incentives, and cross-location scheduling options to improve bookings and repeat conversions.
• Escape Mission ramp (acquired August 2025): integration into operating systems, staffing model, and marketing engine with cross-promotion opportunities.
• Group sales and event expansion: focus on corporate team-building, school groups, camps, and large-group buyouts with formalized outbound sales cadence.
• Brookhaven game bar / arcade utilization: leverage private event bookings and beverage/game-play revenue through expanded programming and improved conversion of escape room traffic.
• Mobile/off-site event scaling: expand mobile capability through repeat client development, seasonal school programming, and corporate event outreach.

With four established locations and mature systems, the business is positioned to grow through utilization, cross-market leverage, and monetization of existing assets rather than immediate real estate expansion.
