Mobile Escape Room At A Farmer's Market
Hey y'all! I've been looking into opening an escape room, but just don't have the capital needed to get going right now. While I'm saving up for that though, I've had the thought of creating a small, portable experience that could be set up at a Farmer's Market, or something of the sort. Not a trailer, but something that would actually be set up within a 10x10 ft tent. Probably just a 20 minute experience for 4 people at a time max.
Napkin Math:
5 hr market * 2 slots per hour = 10 time slots available
$40 per slot * 10 slots = maximum of $400 + tips
20 markets per year * $8,000
In my area, there are markets nearly year-round, any most of them are a lot longer 4 hrs, but I'm just throwing out rough numbers. Obviously this is ignoring taxes, expenses, and so much more, but the purpose is moreso to get involved in the Escape Room Space and better understand what works/what doesn't, rather than make a bunch of money.
I'm curious to know if anyone has experience doing something like this? Also, if you saw something like this at a Market would you be interested at all, or just go on by?
