An escape room is one of the most popular activities for team building, corporate outings, and groups. But what does an escape room actually cost? And how do the prices differ between providers, group sizes, and types of escape experiences?

Here you can read everything about escape room prices, where the differences lie, and how to make the best choice for your team or organization. We also explain how The Box Company works with transparent packages for large groups.

Average price per person for an escape room

Most classic escape rooms operate with a price per person, usually based on:

• the total group size

• the duration of the activity

• the complexity or theme of the room

In the Netherlands, the average prices of standard escape rooms usually hover around a fixed amount per person. This is often based on groups of 2 to 6 people playing one room together.

For large groups, it works differently. Then, not one team plays in one room, but multiple teams are formed that simultaneously experience the same escape experience. This makes the pricing structure very different, often more efficient for companies.

Cheap escape rooms versus premium experiences

The price of an escape room is strongly linked to the quality of the experience. A cheap escape room is often simply set up, with limited puzzles and little guidance. Fun for small groups, but less suitable if you really want to collaborate as a team.

Premium escape rooms, such as the Escape Room Experience by The Box Company, offer a much more extensive experience. Teams work on various, carefully designed tasks and receive professional guidance during the game. The activity is also scalable for large groups, even up to hundreds of participants. Moreover, the game can be organized at almost any location.

The price difference thus primarily reflects the difference in depth, quality, and the impact the activity has on collaboration and team dynamics.

Additional costs: catering, location or guidance

Some escape rooms have additional costs, such as for location rent, catering, or extra guidance. Especially when you play with a larger group or opt for an escape experience on location, transport and setup costs can also be added.

At The Box Company, these elements are always clearly discussed in advance, so you know exactly what to expect and won't be faced with surprises.

How The Box Company applies transparent pricing

The Box Company operates with clear offers that fit:

• your group size

• your location

• the chosen activity (such as the Escape Room Experience or Einstein Box)

Because the activity is scalable for 10, 30, or even 800 people, the price is calculated based on the total group size and the desired execution. This way you never pay too much and the cost structure remains transparent.
