Why we do this
We Want Better Experiences For Everyone
The escape room industry is full of potential that is still going untapped. Too many experiences rely on padlocks and printed clues when they could be transporting people into another world entirely. We believe that raising the quality bar — everywhere, not just in our own rooms — makes the entire industry stronger. More people leave amazed. More people come back. More people tell their friends. When we share what we know and help other creators build something genuinely great, everybody wins. That is how we think the industry should work.

What we offer
The Skills we wish we could have hired
Every skill we use to build and run HOOKED is available to you. No outsourcing, no briefing chains. Just the people who actually do the work, applying it directly to yours.
Game Design
Puzzle mechanics, narrative structure, player flow, difficulty curves, immersive experience design, board game development, ... We design experiences that work on paper, in playtesting, and on the day. Whatever format the game takes, we make sure it lands.
Web Design & Content Management
We design and build escape room websites that fit your theme, work fast, feel atmospheric, and are optimised for bookings. We also manage and update content so you never have to chase a developer again.
Product Design
We design physical products your players crave after playing your games. Apparel, collectibles, branded merchandise, and retail items that extend the experience beyond the room can create an additional revenue stream.
Consulting
Whether you are building your first room or scaling to a second location, we offer honest, practical consulting across every area we work in. For example design, operations, marketing, brand, and guest experience.
Videography
Great escape rooms are hard to explain in words. We let the camera do it instead by capturing atmosphere, tension, and excitement in a way that makes people want to book before the video ends.
Graphic Design
From the first impression to the last touchpoint, we craft design that is consistent, purposeful, and built for your brand. Some ideas: Buzzshot frames, marketing material, printed props for your games, product packaging, and more!
Social Media Content Creation
We create content visuals, and short-form video for escape room brands who want a real social presence and not just occasional posts. Built around your voice, your rooms, and your audience.
Something Else
Not everything fits a neat category. If you have a project, a problem, or an idea that does not fit the list above, reach out. We work on individual briefs and are always open to a conversation about what you actually need.
