Four-Location Turnkey Escape Room Business Sale

Chattanooga, TN, USA
Listed 234 days ago

This offering presents the opportunity to acquire a proven, multi-location experiential entertainment business, inclusive of all four operating locations. The portfolio spans two paired metro markets: Atlanta, Georgia (2 locations) and Chattanooga, Tennessee (2 locations). Time to Escape operates as a turnkey business with established systems, trained staff, proprietary game content, and strong customer reviews. Rather than functioning as four independent stores, the company is structured as two market pairs (Atlanta and Chattanooga), allowing for cross-promotion, staffing flexibility, and operational leverage within each metro area. Across the four venues, the business operates approximately 19 indoor escape rooms, along with outdoor escape experiences at every location powered by the Cluetivity platform. The Brookhaven location further enhances the portfolio with an established arcade/game bar that includes alcohol service, creating a differentiated guest experience and an additional avenue for private events and higher-margin revenue opportunities. Revenue streams extend beyond in-store bookings through off-site and mobile events, with 24 events held last year. The combination of escape rooms, corporate team-building, private parties, special events, outdoor experiences, game bar operations, and mobile events reduces dependence on any single format or location while supporting long-term stability and scalability. A notable differentiator is the inclusion of premium live-actor escape room experiences, which are rare within the industry. These immersive experiences elevate guest engagement, increase memorability, and drive strong word-of-mouth and repeat visitation. All four facilities are fully built out and currently operational, including room build outs, furniture, equipment, and operating systems, with experienced staff and established processes in place. At the Brookhaven location, a separate and optional asset sale is available for the arcade/game bar equipment and related hardware, consisting of 14 pinball machines and 11 arcade machines, subject to separate negotiations. The core escape room business is being sold independently of these arcade assets and operates successfully without them. A buyer may elect to purchase and operate the arcade equipment, contract with the seller for management and maintenance, or engage a qualified third-party operator to supply and manage the arcade machines. This flexible structure allows the acquisition to be aligned with the buyer’s operational preferences and overall strategy.
