Unlocking Next-Level Escape Room Experiences

I’m Kevin, and together with my wife, we’ve been running an Escape Room in Columbia, South Carolina, since 2017. We proudly operate the largest Escapology franchise globally, featuring 12 distinct rooms. Staffing has always been our biggest challenge and the main variable cost for our business. In response to the changing economy in 2022, we started developing Drawbridge to streamline our operations.

We rely on Drawbridge daily to keep our business running smoothly. Escape rooms are definitely here to stay, but to keep up, our business models need to evolve with the ongoing changes in technology and customer expectations. We’re excited to bring our Drawbridge solutions to the wider escape room community, helping everyone to up their game.
