How Do I Find the Best Escape Room Price Per Person?

Are you wondering how to find the best escape room rates?

You want a good deal. However, you also want to make sure you’re going to a reputable escape room where you'll have an enjoyable experience.

Therefore, you’ll want to find a room that’s priced in the middle — not too cheap that you’ll have a subpar experience, but one that fits comfortably into your budget. At 60out, we have a general pricing structure based on the number of players, which goes as follows:

• A booking for two players starts at $35 per person.
• A booking for three players starts at $33.33 per person.
• A booking for four players starts at $28.75 per person.
• A booking for five players starts at $26 per person.
• A booking for six players starts at $24.16 per person.

However, there are a variety of other factors that can come into play when determining prices. After you read this guide, you’ll know how to find the best escape room rates for your family.

How Are Different Escape Room Rates Created?

When you book an escape room, the rates are going to depend on three things: the room you book (theme), the time of day you go, and the number of people playing.

1. The Room Theme

Different rooms, with unique themes, have different rates.

For example, branded themes (e.g., Disney) are usually more expensive than non-branded rooms. These are rooms modeled after pop culture or movies. The boost in price is a result of the brand helping to create an even more immersive, high-tech experience.

In addition, some themes can take longer to solve which leads to a higher cost per person. This is because the elements to the puzzle are more detailed and require a larger number of keys, clues, and other elements. This increases the price tag but also boosts your fun.

Finally, when an escape room company is well-known for a specific theme, they may charge more for that theme.

For example, a company specializing in high-quality horror themes can charge more for their horror rooms (vs. their general fantasy rooms) due to the reputation they've built for spooky entertainment.

Generally, non-specialty themes don't cost very much.

2. The Time of Day

Like any other entertainment options, escape rooms have on-hours and off-hours.

On-Hours

Weekends, in general, are considered “on-hours.” This is especially true in the late afternoons and evenings.

As such, you’ll pay more to visit an escape room during on-hours, due to the high demand during these times.

Many people want to visit an escape room during these hours, and they’re willing to pay a premium for that option.

Weekends as a whole are desirable, but Saturday afternoons are uniquely appealing to most visitors - and will, therefore, be more expensive.

For families that have kids in school or work 9-to-5 jobs, visiting during on-hours may be the best option, even though it’s more expensive.

Off-Hours

If you want a discount, it’s better to go during "off-hours." Off-hours are defined as being earlier in the day on weekdays, such as Monday morning. These are times when most people are working or in school.

The drawback of visiting an escape room during off-hours is that it requires a very flexible schedule.

However, going to an escape room during off-hours can be a great option for vacation days, or days that kids have off of school.

3. The Number of People

Finally, escape room rates depend on how many people you have on your team.

Further, your team size can vary depending on whether you’re booking a private room or a public room.

Public rooms typically offer just one ticket price for every person, regardless of how many people you book. That’s because every room will end up being completely full — you’ll be matched with strangers if you haven’t booked the entire room.

On the other hand, private rooms will almost always have a volume discount. As more people buy tickets, the cost per person goes down.

However, rooms that are in extremely high demand don’t have a volume discount. For example, a branded room will offer one ticket price regardless of how many players you’re bringing along.

What Are the Variables to 60out’s Escape Room Rates?

60out has variable pricing for almost all of its escape rooms in LA.

The general prices mentioned above do not apply to the Da Vinci’s Secret room; bookings for this room are an extra $16 per booking.

Grandma’s Masterplan, which accommodates 3-7 players is $20 more expensive per booking. These rooms can hold larger groups. That makes them perfect for big families or multiple families playing at once.

• A booking for six players starts at $37.83 per person.
• A booking for seven players starts at $35.71 per person.

2. Branded Rooms

Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle is 60out’s only branded room. The room is high-tech, created in direct conjunction with the Jumanji brand, and has a more simplified pricing structure. While you can play with 4-8 players, ticket prices are the same regardless of the number of players.

• All bookings Monday through Thursday are $45 per person.
• All bookings Friday through Sunday are $52 per person.

3. Time of Day

Except for the Jumanji room, you can also save money if you’re flexible about the time you play.

• Reservations made for the first two time slots, Monday through Friday, are offered at the lowest price.
• Reservations made for the third time slots (and all slots after) on Monday through Friday are charged a $10 fee.
• Reservations made for the first three time slots on weekends are also charged a $10 fee.
• Reservations made for all other time slots on weekends are charged a $20 fee.

You can also take advantage of a great discount when you book further into the future. All bookings made for a date more than seven days in the future automatically receive a $10 discount! There aren’t even any promo codes to remember.
