According to an incomplete survey, there are more than a dozen escape shops in this area. Located on the 7th floor of City Classic Building on Jiefang West Road, there is a secret room escape shop named 1988. According to Yang Cihang, one of the shopkeepers, "There are three' secret rooms' in an area of nearly 200 square meters. According to the room size and the difficulty of the theme, the fees range from 40 yuan to 60 yuan." He introduced that every Saturday afternoon is the best time for business, and at most one day can receive more than 100 people. Another real-life secret room, located on the 27th floor of Huiyuan Building, bought more than 700 items on websites such as Wowotuan and Meituan. Although it is a "small business", the profit of the secret room escape shop in Changsha is not low. Take 1988 for example. A single store earns 4,000-6,000 yuan a day, and a month12-180,000 yuan, but the rent, property fees, theme decoration and other expenses are only about 20,000 yuan. Several partners are both bosses and employees, with low labor costs and considerable profits. In addition, they also have other income items, such as mahjong and large-scale game arrangements for company parties. Many shopkeepers will update their themes regularly in order to maintain their absolute attraction to players, with a frequency of about 1.5 months. Most ordinary players can only complete 50% to 60% of the challenges, and less than 5% of the players can successfully challenge all of them. Extend the growth of foreign brands In addition to local brands, foreign super secret rooms have already laid out the Changsha market. "We came last year 10." 1October 29th, 1 1, a 91/super secret room escape shop, started in Wuhan, and now there are stores in Guangzhou and Kunming, boss Fan said. According to him, at present, 9 1 1 has opened two stores in Changsha, one takes the high-end route, one person is 80 yuan per hour, and the storefront has nearly 600 square meters and four games; One family takes the small and beautiful route, and one person 45 yuan/hour. "When the business is at its best, almost 200 people come to the big store to play every day." Boss Fan said that mainly students and white-collar workers come to play. 200 people a day, each 80 yuan, that is to say, if the business is good, you can earn 480,000 a month. There are also rumors in Changsha's secret room industry that X space, the leader of the national secret room industry and not bad money, will also come to grab the site. For outsiders, local entrepreneurs in Changsha are very welcome. "I'm not afraid of them coming, I'm afraid they won't come." Yang Cihang said that on the one hand, we can learn from advanced experience, on the other hand, "big bosses" have heated up the market, but they can reap profits. Hidden dangers, fire safety is worrying, and escaping from the real secret room is in the ascendant, but hidden dangers can not be ignored. According to the reporter's visit and observation, these secret room game shops are all transformed from commercial houses, separated by simple partitions, and no fire safety equipment can be seen. The owner of a secret room said, "There is a camera in the secret room. Players go in to play, we will watch, and players will have walkie-talkies. When encountering difficulties or dangers, we can arrive immediately. " Nevertheless, Xiao Dong, a veteran player born in the 1980s, believes that bare wires and dim lights have great hidden dangers. According to relevant persons from the fire department of Hunan Province, the business license of leisure and entertainment places can only be obtained through hygiene license and fire safety license. Fire protection has a unified standard for casinos, that is, there must be escape doors, and different areas must be equipped with different numbers of fire extinguishers. He said that the secret room is a new project and may not exist in the projects that can be certified. According to the reporter's understanding, there are only two secret escape shops with industrial and commercial business licenses in Changsha market, and their business scope is indoor activity planning studio. Other secret room shops are "unlicensed". This also means that its fire safety measures will be difficult to be supervised.
