Project Overview

City, Country
Dietlikon, near Zurich, Switzerland. EscapeSquad runs its rooms at Bahnstrasse 11, 8305 Dietlikon.
Client Type
A new, owner-run escape room venue, founded by Yeliz and Alper Akin. They opened with five of our rooms on 20 January 2024 and have since added two horror rooms of their own.
The Purpose of the Project
The owners wanted to open a whole venue at once, not room by room. They wanted:
  • five different games for different players, from families to horror fans.
  • one delivery and one installation for all rooms.
  • rooms they could set up with their own team.

Terms of Implementation
  • Production: about 60 working days for a standard room.
  • Delivery: all five rooms in one shipment, organized by Indestroom.
  • Installation: by the client’s own team, with our instructions and remote support.
Age Restrictions
Recommended age: 12+ for our standard rooms. EscapeSquad plays most rooms from age 8, the Witch from 10 and the Exorcist from 16.
Capacity
2-12 players per room, depending on the game. EscapeSquad books groups of 2-8; 4-6 is ideal.
Area
About 195-320 m² (2,100-3,450 sq ft) for the five games, by our standard layouts (estimate).
Ratings
EscapeSquad holds 4.9 on Google (579 reviews) and 5.0 on World of Escapes, read November 2026.
Why Five at Once
Opening five games together saves on delivery, venue preparation and staff work. One team runs five rooms, and a group can come back four more times.
Expected Payback Period
Estimated 12-18 months, depending on the location, the ticket price and the number of games a week. Example: at EscapeSquad a team of 4 pays CHF 39 per person, CHF 156 a game. At 6 games a week in each of the five rooms that is about CHF 4,700 a week, or about CHF 240,000 a year in ticket sales, before rent, staff and other costs.
Investment Range
€215,000-€240,000 for five standard rooms like these, production only. The five kits at 2026 list prices come to €239,660; clients who order several rooms get a multi-room discount. Delivery and venue preparation come on top.

From Concept to Completion

The EscapeSquad project shows how a new venue can open with a full program on day one: five different turnkey rooms, shipped together and set up by the owners.
01 · CHOOSE

Five Games for Five Audiences

Alper looked at our videos and chose a mix:
  • Space Wars and Cursed Shop for families and newcomers.
  • Squid Escape for groups who like skill and speed.
  • Witch for players who want a real challenge.
  • Exorcist for horror fans.
One venue now has a game for every kind of group.
02 · SHIP

One Shipment, One Setup

All five rooms were made in one production run and shipped together in September 2023:
  • one delivery instead of five.
  • one venue plan for all rooms.
  • one team trained once on all the games.
The owners and their team built the venue and set up the rooms themselves, with our instructions.
03 · OPEN

A Full Venue on Day One

EscapeSquad opened on 20 January 2024 with all five games:
  • every game playable in German and English.

Almost two years on, they keep growing and have added new rooms.
