For escape room operators
Run a busy escape room and you're juggling a booking calendar, a stack of liability waivers, and a scattered list of past players. Simplo puts all three in one place. Players reserve a room and a time slot, sign a legally-binding e-signature waiver, and pay in a single checkout, with no booking fees.
What slows an escape room down
A six-person team turns up five minutes before their slot and now everyone has to sign on a tablet or a paper form. Your game master is herding signatures instead of briefing the room, and a back-to-back schedule starts to slip. An unsigned player is a liability you don't notice until something goes wrong.
Your booking calendar, your waiver tool, and your email list sit in different places. A name booked in one never matches the waiver in another, and the marketing list is a forgotten spreadsheet. Working out who actually played which room is manual work nobody has time for on a busy weekend.
Escape rooms run on tight room-turn math, a fixed number of slots per room per day. A platform that skims a percentage of every reservation takes a cut of revenue you can't grow by adding more seats. That margin should be yours.
How Simplo helps escape rooms
When a group reserves a room and time slot, every player on the booking signs your waiver right there, minors included, with a parent or guardian co-signing. The team arrives covered, so your game master runs the briefing and keeps room turns on schedule rather than chasing signatures.
Set each room's slot length, its reset buffer, and a max group size. Availability is live per room, so two parties can't claim the same lock-in and your reset window between games stays protected. Group-size minimums and private-booking options come built in.
Every signature is hashed, chained, IP-stamped, and saved as a PDF. If a player ever disputes a fall, a prop, or a special effect, you've got a defensible record of who signed which version and when. That's the proof your insurer and attorney ask for.
Connect Stripe, Square, or Shopify Payments and keep 100% of your booking revenue minus your processor's normal rate. Take full payment or a deposit up front to cut the no-shows that wreck a fully booked Saturday. We never take a cut of a reservation.
Every player who opts in (explicit, TCPA-compliant consent) joins a contact list you own and can export whenever you want. Segment by the room they played, group size, or last visit, then win back the team that beat one game with a campaign for your newest room. No renting your own customer list back.
Drop the booking widget on your site with one JavaScript snippet, or add Simplo from the Shopify App Store or Square Marketplace. Corporate-event and gift-card bookers get the same book-and-sign checkout no matter where they find you.
Escape room FAQ
Yes. The same checkout that books a room and a time slot also collects a legally-binding e-signature waiver from every player on the booking. The group walks in already signed, so your game master isn't passing around a clipboard or a kiosk tablet two minutes before the lock-in.
No. We charge a flat monthly price and take 0% of your bookings. You connect your own Stripe, Square, or Shopify Payments account, so reservation revenue and deposits land in your account at your processor's normal rate. There's no platform cut on top.
Every signature is hashed, chained to the record before it, IP-stamped, time-stamped, and archived as a PDF. The trail shows exactly who signed which version of the waiver and when. That's the record your insurer and counsel want when someone disputes a fall, a prop, or a special effect.
Yes. Any player who opts in (explicit, TCPA-compliant consent) becomes a marketing contact you own and can export whenever you want. Segment by room played, group size, or date, then win back teams who beat one room and pitch corporate bookers your newest game.
