You opening up in Dallas? I'll suggest support week goes there this year.
She's actually kinda hot. Like, mid 40's Mom works out hot.

In no way, shape, or form will I ever admit to anyone I work with that I visit this forum.

This forum is pretty high brow and level headed if you stay out of the mmo forums. I'm actually happy I found this place all those years back. People on the whole are pretty friendly, moderation is fair, topics move quick depending on the thread and there's a wide range of interests. If it wasn't for this place it'd just be 4chan which can be too impersonal at times.

Heh we're actually going to an escape room Thursday. I'm kind of looking forward to it.

Don't let that faggot get to you, It's a good idea. That escape room shit is mega popular in NYC. I stumbled into a couple of them accidentally last year and they do seem like fun if you're in a group of people you like.

Just because you think something is dumb, doesn't make it true!
The unbelievably lucrative business of escape rooms
Escape rooms are almost turn key. You just have one dude sitting at the counter making $9/hr while charging $30/person. It is a fantastic business model.

It is my team vs another team. Since we're engineers the competition will be fierce I'm sure. Although I voted we go bowling so I could sit at the bar and drink but this works too. Maybe I can convince my team to bring flasks.

Trolls don't really get to me and he's not really good at it anyway.
And thanks, ideally you would have your own group ahead of time but there's always the option for mixed groups as well, it's why our rooms will also be of varying size so we can accomidate smaller groups that may not want strangers in them....or for those singles and pairs of strangers that do come in, don't need to wait long for people to start up a game.

Seriously this. Your customer groups are on set time limits then they hit the bar out front or something and you get to charge 30/person in groups of 2-10 or something. Most of the puzzles aren't exactly expensive to create, but it does take some ingenuity and a certain kind of person to design them well. Rotate them around regularly and wait it out.
It is great for weeknights and even daytime "team building" corporate shit. Hard to get a better money making model honestly.

One interview process I went through had me come in three different times to "meet with a few other team members". It was obnoxious.

I have a friend who started an escape room on the side. He had a space he could use in a restaurant that's in an historic house, so it's a cool space. First month it was operational, it was booked for every session. Minimum of 6 people, $20 per person. It was open Thursday 5 - 9, Friday 6 - 11, Saturday 4 - 11, and Sunday 5-9. That's 20 hours with a minimum of $180 per hour. $3,600 per week, $14,400 in the first month. There were some start up costs, materials and such, but other than that, he pays $100 per week rent (using an otherwise empty room), and has a pretty smart 17 year old who works the desk and resets the room for $15 per hour, and he's thrilled with that.
He started clearing more than $3,000 the first week it was open. He has since opened 5 more. It's still a side-gig for him because he sets them up one at a time and then hires someone to babysit it.
It's a fantastic idea. I get to be one of the test audience for my buddy when he opens a new room or changes it out. It's a lot of fun.

Maybe this forum can shift from gamers and guilds to escape room enthusiasts
