John Sear, Game Designer, Museum Games Treasure Trails have been a stalwart of museums for decades. However, in the past 5 years there’s been a new ‘puzzle’ kid on the block – the Live Escape Game. These paid experiences have sprung up all across the UK. What can we learn from this cultural phenomenon and how can we bring their ideas into museums? The Live Escape Games sector is going to great expense to set up environments that mimic those of museums. Museums already have the environments – so, what do they need to add in order to recreate the visitor engagement that Live Escape Games provide?

- These experiences have been around for a while. Escape room name is something the consumer understands.
- Social experience Gamehost Gamejockey Clue System
- Pictures of puzzles
- Movement towards experience rather than ownership… Particularly with millenials.
- Nearly all towns and cities will have at least one company. Larger towns will have 4 or 5. We’re also seeing expansion of big players and outside investment. Similar figures in the US. 44 rooms 1800.
- Sometimes it’s difficult to see the problem solving in Call of Duty & Grand Theft Auto – escape games are very apparent. All games – subject matter.
- Big question: how do we increase the player flow-rate?
- £5000 buy a room ready to go. Electronics / Script / Multimedia / Service
- Escape
- Captivate Heritage Ltd First live escape game set in a church. Grade 1 listed buildings. Really focused on History. One is a rental. Church is a revenue share. Another one in a Church. Only opens at weekends and the church remains open.
- Luminpolis – Cap Science in Bordeaux Temporary exhibition at a science centre – paid entry 8 EUROS 1 hour in the exhibition Multiple teams in the space at the same time 41 – modules – level of difficulty I suspect that this isn’t a true Escape room. Reviews suggest that it is linear experience. 40 stations. Basically you choose the difficulty and you wait your turn. Crazy golf.
- Flip on it’s head. Trying to get into a box. Developed by Jane Norris – former teacher. She has a number of boxes / games which can be taken to a site. Designed around Key Stage 2 and 3. Business model is to expand into new areas: schools and uniformed groups.
- People have created these using simple websites & google forms
