Turnkey Escape Room Business For Sale– 4 Operating Locations Included
Business Description
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. Importantly, the business is not four isolated stores—it operates as two market pairs (Atlanta and Chattanooga) that support cross-promotion, staffing flexibility, and operational leverage within each metro area.
The portfolio includes approximately 19 indoor escape rooms across four venues, plus outdoor escape experiences at each location powered by the Cluetivity platform. In addition, 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 (rare within the industry), 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, a separate, 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 being sold independently of the arcade assets and operates successfully without them. A buyer may choose to purchase the arcade assets and operate them on-site, contract with the seller to manage and maintain the arcade operations, or engage a qualified third-party operator to supply and manage arcade equipment. This structure allows a buyer to tailor the acquisition to their operational preferences and overall strategy.
