Project Overview

City, Country

Joensuu and Kuopio, eastern Finland. Huonepakopeli runs rooms at several addresses in Joensuu and one in Kuopio.

Client Type

A family-run escape room chain, owned by MooseFabric Oy. The owners took over the chain in January 2020 and opened Kuopio in September 2020.

The Purpose of the Project

The owners wanted reliable, popular games next to the rooms they build themselves. They wanted:

a family room that is easy and fast to reset.
a harder room for experienced players.
a compact escape cube.

Terms of Implementation

Production: about 60 working days for a standard room.
Delivery: organized by Indestroom.
Installation: by the client’s own team, with our instructions and remote support.

Age Restrictions

Huonepakopeli plays its rooms with children from age 10 alone, younger children with adults.

Capacity

3-8 players per room at Huonepakopeli, 60 minutes of play.

Area

Our standard rooms need about 30-50 m² each; an escape cube comes complete, with walls and floor.

Ratings

Huonepakopeli holds 4.6 on Google in Joensuu (87 reviews) and 4.5 in Kuopio, read November 2026.

Ours vs. Their Own

The owners also built a room of their own, for about €70,000. In their words, our games are much more popular and everything works perfectly.

Expected Payback Period

Estimated 12-18 months, depending on the location, the ticket price and the number of games a week. Example: at Huonepakopeli a team of 4 pays €31 per person, €124 a game. At 8 games a week in each of three games that is about €3,000 a week, or about €155,000 a year in ticket sales, before rent, staff and other costs.

Investment Range

€115,000-€127,000 for a set like this at 2026 list prices: Magic School, Jungle and an escape cube, production only. Clients who order several rooms get a multi-room discount. Delivery and venue preparation come on top.

From Concept to Completion

The Huonepakopeli project shows what an owner learns when he runs our rooms next to a room he built himself.

01 · CHOOSE

Three Different Games

The owners picked three games for different players:

Magic School, a school of magic for families.
Jungle, a harder adventure room.
Alice cube, a compact escape cube.

Magic School and the Alice cube opened at the same time.

02 · RUN

Easy to Reset, Easy to Run

In daily work the rooms proved simple for the staff:

Magic School is very easy and fast to reset.
everything works like it should.
many players come back to play again.

The owner’s own words, in his review for us.

03 · COMPARE

Ours vs. Their Own

The owners also built one room with their own team:

it cost them about €70,000.
it had a lot of technical problems.
our games turned out much more popular.

An honest comparison from a client who builds rooms himself.
