Sell More Escapes with Gift Certificates and Prepaid Bookings

Turn last-minute shoppers into future players and make booking easier for your guests. With gift certificates, prepaid packages, and simple checkout options, your escape room business can bring in revenue before game day while giving customers a smooth, flexible way to book. Gift certificates can be sold through any form that includes a gift certificate block, and buyers can choose preset values or even enter a custom amount if you allow it.

Give Guests an Easy Way to Gift the Experience

Escape rooms are made for birthdays, holidays, team outings, and “I have no idea what to buy them” moments. Gift certificates make those purchases quick and stress-free.

Buyers can:

• Choose from your available gift values
• Enter a custom amount if enabled
• Add the recipient’s name and email
• Include a personal message
• Pick how the certificate is delivered

Delivery can be flexible too:

• Deliver it themselves
• Send it by email right away
• Schedule it to arrive later on a chosen date

That means your gift sales can keep rolling in, even while your staff is busy locking clues and resetting rooms.

Get Paid Before Players Arrive

Prepaid bookings help reduce no-shows and make planning easier. Gift certificates can be redeemed during checkout, and any remaining balance stays on the certificate for later use. They can be applied to paid items across forms, including appointments, add-ons, packages, and more.

For escape room businesses, that opens up plenty of useful options:

• Sell dollar-value gift certificates
• Offer game-specific gift options that match your event types
• Let guests prepay for future bookings
• Encourage upsells with add-ons or bundled offers

If you want gift options to match your rooms exactly, certificate values can be named and priced to align with your event types.

Offer Packages for Groups, Repeat Players, or Special Promotions

Packages are a smart fit for escape room businesses that want to sell more than one booking at a time. Packages let you offer prepaid bundles that clients can schedule later, such as multiple visits, team-building sessions, or promotional bundles.

You can set packages up in different ways, including:

• A total number of bookings
• A total dollar amount
• A total amount of time
• A specific number of bookings for each event type

Clients can purchase packages through any form that includes the packages question, and eligible bookings are applied automatically when they book with the same name and email used at purchase.

Keep Booking Management Simple Behind the Scenes

Once prepaid offers are live, it helps to keep everything easy to track. Gift certificates can be managed from a dedicated dashboard showing details like purchaser, recipient, original amount, remaining balance, and expiration status. Admins can also create certificates manually, resend delivery emails, and adjust details as needed.

Packages can also be managed after purchase, with visibility into balances and redemption progress.

And when you want the big picture, reports can include gift certificates, packages, payments, and invoices so you can better understand what is selling and what is still outstanding.

Turn Interest into Bookings

Gift certificates and prepaid bookings do more than fill your calendar. They help you capture revenue earlier, create easy giftable experiences, and give guests one more reason to choose your escape room over a regular night out.

If you want to make booking feel easier and sales feel steadier, now’s a great time to add gift certificates, packages, and prepaid options to your escape room business. Start building a smoother booking experience today.
