The escape room market in North Rhine-Westphalia has grown significantly in recent years. Exciting puzzle adventures can now be found in almost every larger city. But the same question arises again and again: Who is actually the largest escape room provider in NRW?

How do you measure the „size“ of escape rooms?

Before answering this question, one must clarify what „largest provider“ actually means. Does it refer to:

• Number of locations?
• Number of individual escape rooms?
• Total area?
• Visitor numbers?
• Company size?

For an objective consideration, a clearly measurable factor is particularly suitable: How many escape rooms are operated under one brand?
