OP hasn't posted in months but I can almost guarantee that this is just another fad that will die in like 3 years.
I disagree - while I think growth will slow, it's unlikely that these rooms will die out in only a few years. For one, the target market is generally team-building, with birthday parties/special occasions a distant second, and so you're targeting corporate money instead of people who are interested in escape rooms. Overhead is ridiculously low, and so are startup costs. Most markets aren't anywhere close to saturated yet.

I actually looked into starting an escape room in my area, but the market is already pretty flooded and laws are not suitable in the close area I live in. I would definitely invest $$ in a decently sized business-friendly metro area without an existing escape room. If you can get there before the franchises do, it's a very lucrative business.
