Will anyone else have the same room?

A Unique Escape Room, Made Only for Your Venue

No. A custom room is one of a kind. We write the story, design the puzzles and build the decor for one venue: yours. It is built around your idea, your space and your players, so the game your players get exists only in your venue.

Even a room from our catalogue changes for each venue: the size, the decor, the difficulty, the puzzles and the story. And we mark every client on our map: a venue near you cannot buy the same room from us.

Unlike distributors or design-only studios, Indestroom combines in-house story development with industrial manufacturing. In our 8,000 m² production, our mechanical engineers, CAD designers, prop sculptors and electronics programmers build commercial attractions made for high foot traffic and maximum uptime. From custom themed environments to luxury escape room equipment at The Venetian Resort in Las Vegas (featured in Forbes), we handle the whole project, from concept drawings to launch.

Custom Escape Room Design: Three Ways to Make It Yours

Custom design of a catalogue escape room, Cyberpunk Wonderland, USA

1. Adapt a room from our catalogue

Change the shape, size or colour of the puzzles, the style and decor, the set of puzzles, the difficulty, the actions and the storyline. Add extra hints, decor or wow effects.

Custom time-travel escape room Dinosauria, lab of the future, Switzerland

2. Combine two rooms into a new one

We take puzzles from two of our games and build one new story around them. Example: Dinosauria in Switzerland, a time-travel game with a lab of the present and a lab of the future.

Custom escape room built from scratch: a temple altar with a demon statue, gargoyles and light effects

3. A completely new room from scratch

Your own story, or one we write for you. New puzzles, new electronics, new decor, built for your space. Example: The Temple in Vienna, built to the client’s own detailed scenario, with light, sound and puzzles working together.

    The Subway

    First Escape · Vienna, Austria · 2022

    Our client bought an old metro car from the city’s transport company and wanted a game inside it. We built the puzzles into the real car: the floor, the seats and the driver’s cab. Players act as metro staff on a train that breaks down on its way to the depot. Nominated for TERPECA, the world ranking of escape rooms, every year from 2022 to 2025.

      The Temple

      First Escape · Vienna, Austria · 2024

      The client came with his own scenario and a detailed brief. The light, sound and puzzles all work together: one action in the room starts another. It was one of the most complex games we have programmed. The client calls it a feature-film-length escape room. Nominated for TERPECA, the world ranking of escape rooms, in 2025.

        Escape House · Hasselt, Belgium · 2022

          The Factory Escape Game · Courtételle, Switzerland · 2020

            Last Hour · Riyadh, Saudi Arabia · 2024

            A horror house with a local Arabic touch, built on our Lilith room around the client’s own story. A moving bed for an actor playing a possessed girl, things that fall and move: many scares in one room.

                                            Custom Escape Room FAQ

                                            What is a custom escape room and what does a builder do?
                                            A custom escape room is a bespoke commercial game engineered exclusively for one entertainment venue. As a turnkey custom escape room builder, Indestroom handles the complete lifecycle: architectural space planning, unique storyline and puzzle mechanics, industrial scenic fabrication, electronics automation, and worldwide delivery.
                                            Will another venue in my city get the same escape room?
                                            No. Every client receives guaranteed territorial exclusivity with a strict radius lock around their venue. Your custom storyline, puzzles, and props will never be duplicated or sold to any competitor in your market. Even catalog rooms adapted for your venue remain uniquely yours.
                                            Can you change a room from your catalogue?
                                            Yes. You can change the puzzles, decor, difficulty, story and size, or add hints and wow effects.
                                            Can you build a room from my own story?
                                            Yes. Several of our clients came with their own scenario, for example The Temple in Vienna. Or we write the story for you.
                                            Can you build a game into an unusual space?
                                            Yes. We built a whole game inside a real metro car in Vienna. Send us your floor plan and photos.
                                            Can you add new puzzles to my existing room?
                                            Yes. Custom work can be a few puzzles for a room you already run.
                                            Do you make custom escape room props and puzzles only?
                                            Yes. You can order single puzzles, props or a set for a room you already have.
                                            How long does a custom escape room take to build?
                                            Custom turnkey escape room engineering and manufacturing takes approximately 90 working days in our 8,000 m² European production. Standard catalog room adaptations take 60 working days.
                                            How much does a custom escape room cost?
                                            It depends on the size of the room, the number of puzzles and the decor. Send us your idea and we will prepare a quote.
                                            Do you ship custom rooms worldwide?
                                            Yes. Indestroom is a European manufacturer shipping worldwide. Our custom rooms operate across Europe, the USA, Mexico, the Middle East, and beyond.
