Escape Rooms have always been a popular destination for corporate team building events. Before, many local companies were booking an activity for its annual staff gathering. Such months as November and December are used to be the peak of the business season because of the traditional holiday events and celebrations. Since many companies have switched to remote work, all in-person gatherings were also canceled leaving the amusement businesses without its major client. 

While the business is slowing down, several escape game venues still remain open and operate on a limited basis to comply with local laws and ensure public safety.
