About Just Escape Consulting

We turn places into experiences people remember.

We design interactive experiences for places with a story to tell.

For more than 10 years we have combined storytelling, game design, technology and real-world experience. From historic castles and museums to zoos, hotels and destinations — we work with the character of each place, never against it.

Experience design for real places

A successful Adventure Quest is not simply a collection of puzzles. It has to belong to the place.

The story has to feel authentic. The gameplay has to feel natural. The design has to fit the environment. And the experience has to make sense for your visitors — and for your business.

That’s where we come in.

Storytelling

We find the stories, characters and details that make your location unique.

Game design

We turn those stories into routes, challenges and moments of discovery.

Technology

Where digital interaction adds value, we integrate it seamlessly into the experience.

Physical design

For Classic Adventure Quests we create maps, props, puzzles and other tangible elements that feel like part of the world.

Real-world experience

We design for actual visitors, actual spaces and actual operations — not just for a screen or a concept presentation.

Our principle

One place. One story. One experience.

We don’t believe in generic quest templates. Every project begins with understanding the place:

  • What makes it special?
  • What should visitors discover?
  • Who are they — and what should they feel?
  • What should the experience achieve for your organisation?

From there, we develop the concept, story, gameplay and experience around your specific goals.

The result feels native to the location — as if it had always belonged there.

Designed for visitors. Built for your business.

An Adventure Quest can do more than entertain

Increase engagement

Give people a reason to actively explore rather than simply observe.

Extend the visit

Encourage deeper exploration and longer stays on your site.

Reach new audiences

Appeal to families, younger visitors and international guests.

Add new revenue

Offer the quest as a paid experience or a premium add-on to the ticket.

Strengthen your destination

Something distinctive that gives visitors another reason to choose — and remember — you.

Make knowledge memorable

History, culture and nature become something people actively take part in.

Our work with castles, museums, zoos and family hotels shows how a quest becomes a meaningful extension of the existing visitor offer — see our projects.

From first idea to final experience

We don’t just hand over a concept. We develop the experience with you.

Classic or digital

The format follows the place

Some locations call for a treasure map, an amulet and a physical discovery. Others are better suited to a seamless smartphone experience. That’s why we offer both.

The people behind Just Escape

From escape rooms to whole locations

Our story began in 2015 with escape rooms in Tyrol. That’s where we learned how stories, puzzles and teamwork create unforgettable moments. Today we take that know-how out of the room — and into castles, museums, zoos, parks and hotels.

When you work with us, you talk directly to Michael — your personal contact from the first call to the launch of your quest.

Our mission

Make people experience a place — not just visit it

We believe the most memorable visitor experiences are the ones people actively take part in.

They explore.They discover.They solve.They connect.

And when they leave, they remember not only what they saw — but what they experienced. That’s what we create.
