Maze Rooms

What Maze Rooms does

Maze Rooms Corp. is a privately held, direct-to-consumer escape room entertainment company headquartered in Los Angeles, founded in 2014. The company operates six physical venues across the Los Angeles metropolitan area — including West LA, Culver City, Playa Del Rey, Santa Monica, Beverly Hills, and Koreatown — and offers approximately 20 themed immersive puzzle-room experiences spanning horror, adventure, sci-fi, fantasy, mystery, and family-friendly genres. Each room accommodates 2 to 10 players for sessions of 60 to 70 minutes, with narrative-driven set design, lighting effects, and practical theatrical elements forming the core production technology.

Revenue is generated primarily through per-group ticket sales (ranging from $99 for 2-3 players up to $231 for 7 players on standard packages, and $40-$54.50 per player on Lunar Mission), supplemented by gift certificate sales and private event hosting for corporate team-building, birthdays, dates, and proposals. Pricing is set on the company's own website booking system (mazerooms.com), with phone reservations and walk-ins as secondary channels. The company targets multiple consumer segments — families seeking screen-free activities, corporate groups for team-building, couples on date nights, beginner players, and horror enthusiasts — with a hybrid segmentation approach.

The business is operated as a for-profit corporation under US jurisdiction, with no disclosed venture capital, private equity, or parent company ownership. The company maintains brand recognition through an endorsement from Ellen DeGeneres, Top-5 LA industry recognition, and five-star Google/Yelp ratings, and has begun offering franchise opportunities as a forward expansion vector beyond its owned LA footprint.
