Arcade: A new form of entertainment

Have you ever played slot machines? At one point, this form of entertainment was super popular, and then there were escape rooms – now you can get a two-in-one.

How is Arcade different to a regular escape room?

Escape arcades are actually a type of playground with slot machines put together in a specific design and theme: which the client requests. We make anything to order, “Game of Thrones“, “Alice in Wonderland”, themed submarines – all depending on your requirements and location.

Difference between arcade and escape room

It is a competition between teams and the riddles are not related. Friends can play different puzzles at the same time, earning points, individually or team competitions.

In our experience, the most effective is when coupons / coins fall out after successfully solving a riddle/puzzle, which can be exchanged for prizes afterwards. You can also end each arcade game with on-line electronic points, as we did for Claustrophobia.

Arcade games as new form of entertainment

How does it work?

Each puzzle has a time limit. Optimally from 1 to 10 minutes, but this is configurable. If the player could not solve the riddle, or wants to earn more points, they buy another ticket. The ticketing system can also be flexible. You can buy a ticket for 1-3 riddles at a discounted price, or buy an unlimited one.

Immerse players in an atmosphere of excitement, where everyone wins: your average cheque is higher, and players enjoy a new form of their favourite entertainment – an escape room and slot machines all in one combo.

Who are the arcades for?

The arcade is ideal for expanding and complementing your existing entertainment business. You can create a separate escape room in the form of an arcade, and it could also fit perfectly into entertainment centers, bowling and billiards club. With a themed arcade, you can attract new players, anywhere. For example, we have implemented a turnkey project in the tourist heart of Croatia, in the Old Town of Dubrovnik. Here, the streets are filled with Game of Thrones-themed souvenir shops, as many of the scenes from the series were filmed here. Our escape arcade was installed in one of the stores (http://www.houseofthegame.com/).

Visitors can now not only buy souvenirs, but they can also play their favourite scene and earn special coins for a successful game, in order to exchange them for souvenirs which significantly increases foot traffic.

Arcade game for expanding existing entertainment business

You, as the owner, can choose any number of escape arcade gadgets, depending on which business you want to expand. Sometimes 3-5 gadgets will be enough, and for large-scale projects you can install 30 different escape slot machines, at once.

Would an arcade suit your location? If so, in what design/theme?

We would be happy to help you, bring to life, your most daring ideas.
