Business Description
**state of the art 4th game in Ocala will be done in the first week of May & Gainesville just achieved it's 2COP Beer & Wine license - these two items add an easy $175,000 to the annual revenue under our brand**
This sale is listed as an absolute steal.
Huddy’s Escape is a premier, multi-location escape room brand operating in two strong Florida markets with consistent profitability, documented growth, rare industry recognition, and active expansion underway. Built and operated by veteran designers and operators, Huddy’s has established itself as a market leader in immersive entertainment with strong brand equity and immediate cash flow.
This offering represents the acquisition of a professionally built entertainment platform with meaningful near-term upside already in motion, as the sale price is based on the current valuation and trailing 12-month P&L, prior to full capacity.
Financial Performance & Growth
Huddy’s Escape has demonstrated consistent and accelerating year-over-year revenue growth:
2024–2025: +44% growth
Three brand-new escape rooms are currently being built and installed in Q1 2026, positioning the business for an additional projected ~40% increase through immediate capacity expansion and proven demand. This growth is already underway and not dependent on speculation or new market entry.
Industry Recognition & Credibility
Huddy’s Escape stands apart from typical escape room businesses due to rare professional recognition and deep industry expertise:
• 2025 TripAdvisor Travelers’ Choice Award Winner
• Projected 2026 Travelers’ Choice Award Winner
• Ranked #1 for Fun & Entertainment in its markets
• Recipient of the extremely rare Bullseye Award (2024) for game design and build quality
Ownership previously designed and sold over $500,000 in escape room games across the East Coast for other operators, a division intentionally retired in early 2024 to focus exclusively on expanding Huddy’s Escape.
Business Overview
• Two fully operational locations (Ocala & Gainesville)
• Proprietary, custom-built escape room games
• Strong brand recognition and repeat customer base
• Excellent online reputation across all platforms
• Fully staffed with documented SOPs and training
• Professional booking, marketing, and operational systems
Huddy’s has outperformed and outlasted multiple competitors in both markets, several of which closed while Huddy’s continued to grow.
Locations
Ocala (Flagship, est. 2021):
A well-established household brand throughout the region, driving strong word-of-mouth, repeat visitation, and community recognition. This location validated the operating model and demand that enabled successful expansion.
Gainesville (Premier Buildout):
A purpose-built, high-end venue featuring advanced scenic design and effects, including immersive dirt-floor environments. The property received a $400,000 professional buildout in 2024 prior to Huddy’s installation. Located on a premier high-traffic roadway in a standalone building surrounded by top restaurants, with a new medical franchise opening next door in January 2026, further increasing traffic and visibility.
Included Assets & Expansion
Included in the sale:
• Full ownership of the Huddy’s Escape brand and IP
• All game designs, systems, props, and equipment
• Two operating locations with existing leases
• Three brand-new games installing now (1 Ocala, 2 Gainesville)
• Proven seasonal Christmas escape room (stored, reusable annually)
• Website, phone number, email list, and social media
• Booking software, SOPs, and training materials
Growth Opportunities
Additional upside includes seasonal attractions (Halloween and holiday events), expanded corporate and group bookings, memberships or subscription models, marketing optimization, and expansion into additional Florida markets.
