Projektübersicht

Stadt, Land
Surfers Paradise, Gold Coast, Australia. Padlock’d runs three venues: Surfers Paradise Boulevard, the Paradise Centre and Cavill Beachfront.
Kundentyp
An escape room and bar brand founded by Sean Wilson in March 2018. Today it runs 16 rooms on the Gold Coast and calls itself one of the biggest escape room venues in Australia.
Der Zweck des Projekts
The owner wanted a steady flow of new games for a busy tourist strip. He wanted:
  • rooms for every audience, from families to horror fans.
  • a supplier he could order from again and again.
  • a deal that made sense despite the long way to Australia.

Durchführungsbestimmungen
  • Production: about 60 working days for a standard room, about 90 for a custom one.
  • Delivery: several rooms shipped together to Australia.
  • Installation: durch das eigene Team des Kunden, unter Anleitung und mit Fernunterstützung durch uns.
Altersbeschränkungen
Padlock’d recommends its rooms from age 10, scary rooms from 12.
Kapazität
2-8 players per room, depending on the game; 30-minute and 60-minute rooms.
Fläche
Our standard rooms need about 30-50 m² each; Padlock’d fits them into three venues on the Gold Coast.
Bewertungen
Padlock’d holds 4.9 on Google (10,768 reviews) at its main venue and 5.0 at the Paradise Centre (1,790 reviews), and ranks #1 of 29 nightlife spots in Surfers Paradise on Tripadvisor, read November 2026.
300 Games in 2 Months
The first room from us, Vampires, opened in February 2021. In its first 2 months it ran more than 300 games, according to the client.
Erwartete Amortisationsdauer
Estimated 12-18 months, depending on the location, the ticket price and the number of games a week. Example: at Padlock’d an adult ticket costs AUD 60. A team of 4 brings AUD 240 a game; at 10 games a week that is about AUD 2,400 a week, or about AUD 125,000 a year in ticket sales, before rent, staff and other costs.
Anlagespektrum
About €30,000-€55,000 for a standard turnkey room like the ones Padlock’d runs, production only; custom projects are priced one by one. Clients who order several rooms get a multi-room discount. Delivery and venue preparation come on top.

    Vom Konzept bis zur Fertigstellung

    The Padlock’d project shows how a first order can turn into a long partnership: one room in 2020, nine orders by 2025.
    01 · START

    A Smarter First Deal

    The owner first came to us in July 2020 for one horror room, but delivery to Australia was too expensive. So we found a better deal:
    • a second room in the same order.
    • free delivery for both rooms.
    • Vampires tailored to his budget, riddle by riddle.
    Both rooms opened in February 2021.
    02 · RESULT

    300 Games in 2 Months

    The Vampires room took off at once:
    • more than 300 games in its first 2 months.
    • installed by his team with our remote support.
    • the start of a long partnership.
    A fast start that made the next orders easy.
    03 · WACHSTUM

    Nine Orders and Counting

    From 2020 to 2025 Padlock’d came back again and again:
    • Jungle, Magic School and Frankenstein.
    • horror rooms, a zombie room and a magic room.
    • single puzzles and gadgets for their own games.
    Today many of their 16 rooms carry our work.

    In his own words

    “I really want to tell the truth and I’m not affiliated with Indestroom.”

    How it started

    In July 2020 the owner wanted one horror room, but shipping it alone to Australia was too expensive. We suggested a second room in the same order and offered free delivery.

    What came next

    Vampires opened in February 2021, and the orders kept coming: nine in total by 2025.
