Pretty impressive!
Two things at once, contrary to my new year‘s resolution!
1. An app for personalized interactive audiobooks for kids - https://www.vivid.cx
2. A book about the edge of the thinkable - https://www.unthinkable.net

The link to your community built missions is down.
Uh-oh, thank you!

About 8 years in, Escape Team steadily keeps growing, which surprises me (I didn’t add any new missions for about 5 years):
It‘s making about $700 on iOS and $300 on Android, solely from $2.99 IAPs for the later missions in the game (the first 2 missions are free).
I think a main reason for this is that escape rooms (and games) don’t „saturate“: you play them only once, because then you know the solutions. So another escape room (place, game, app) doesn’t cannibalize the market - it may rather strengthen the others by fostering it as a group activity.
I also put 0$ into ads- it solely spreads itself by being a group activity (3-5 people are best) and through its mission editor (people can make their own missions, used in school and for birthdays etc).
Curious to see where it goes next!

We launched Feb 2, 2016 so almost a decade since then! Of course, we ran it for just ourselves a bit longer so it’s been slightly over a decade at this point.
Congratulations, really nice! I wasn’t aware of this.
