Every venue counted. Every owner louder.
Census opens in
Opens 4 August 2026
Right now, nobody can say how many escape rooms Australia actually has. Not the media, not the government, not even us. The census fixes that - and every answer makes the number harder to ignore.
See how your venue compares - rooms, pricing bands, staffing - against real national numbers, not guesswork.
"We represent 500+ rooms nationally" opens doors with councils, insurers and media that no single venue can.
Your venue is listed in the national directory by default - the census keeps its details and game list accurate (or lets you opt out).
One press-ready headline stat each year makes EROAUS the source journalists call about the industry.
Simple factual questions about your venue. All questions optional, and you can combine multiple venues.
Individual responses stay confidential. Only combined statistics are ever reported.
Full results go to verified owners in the Discord. One headline stat goes public to champion the industry.

This tracker goes live the day the census opens.
Your individual answers are confidential - only combined statistics are ever reported, and every question is optional. One thing IS public: the national directory lists every venue's name, location, website and game list by default. Want off it? Just untick the directory box on the census form (or in My Venues) and your listing disappears.
Full aggregated results are released to verified owners in the EROAUS Discord. The public sees a single headline figure - think "Australia has X escape room businesses running Y rooms" - which helps all of us.
The Benchmark Survey covers sensitive performance data - revenue, rent, marketing spend - for owners who want detailed comparisons. The census is the lighter, structural count: who we are, where we are, and how many rooms we run.
The form handles it for you - add all your locations at the start (or use your combined link) and they load together: business questions asked once, location questions per location.
Yes - open your census link again any time before it closes and submit again. It updates your previous answers; there are never duplicate entries. Half-finished forms also save in your browser, so you can leave and come back.
Venues open and close constantly. A yearly rhythm keeps the numbers credible, keeps the directory fresh, and lets us chart how the industry changes over time - that trend line becomes the industry's story.
