Offered for sale is an exceptional, brand-new escape room venue in Gainesville, Florida — one of the most impressive turnkey spaces on the market. This facility was built from a dirt-floor grey shell and transformed into a stunning, modern entertainment venue with 12’ ceilings, complete custom theming, and immaculate craftsmanship throughout.

This location features three fully built, premium escape room experiences, with space already designed and ready for two additional games, making it ideal for immediate expansion. One of our custom game builds received international recognition, winning a 2024 Bullseye Award as a Top 6 Escape Room in the World in the “Best Puzzles” category.

The buildout alone cost $379,000—completely funded and negotiated with the landlord—which allowed the space to be designed from scratch with the highest attention to detail, aesthetic, and guest flow.

Prime Gainesville Location

Located on highly trafficked Tower Road, this venue sits in an upscale, standalone-style building facing the main street. It is ideally positioned between two powerful traffic generators:

The Paper Bag, featured on Food Network and one of Gainesville’s most popular sandwich destinations

Captain D’s, opening in 30–45 days, bringing even more daily foot traffic and visibility

The surrounding area is vibrant, busy, and growing fast—perfect for an entertainment venue.

What’s Included

This is a full asset sale. The buyer receives:

3 completed, large-scale escape room games

Full custom buildout and themed interiors

All props, puzzles, tech, wiring, DMX, sensors, and scenic elements

Front lobby, POS, back-of-house, cameras, and operational setup

Staffed with trained game masters ready to operate under new ownership

Remaining space pre-designed for two more games

Note: The Huddy’s Escape brand/logo does not transfer; buyer will rename the venue.

Why This is a Rare Opportunity

This Gainesville location has been self-sustaining for well over a year with minimal owner involvement. We simply do not have the bandwidth to travel to Gainesville or provide hands-on oversight. A motivated owner-operator or small team could dramatically increase revenue, add games, and capitalize on the heavy foot traffic and premium buildout already in place.

The venue took:

12 months of construction

6 months of theming and setup

16+ months of operations

Everything is turnkey, functioning, and ready for a new owner to grow.
