Introduction
Escape Hunt operates immersive escape rooms for casual players and corporate groups, with 21 UK locations and a growing international footprint. Their experiences feature intricate storylines, high-quality set design, and interactive challenges, and every venue runs print constantly to support them.
The challenge
Print consistency at this scale used to mean weeks of back-and-forth with each location. Custom artwork requests piled up. Venue-specific details (addresses, QR codes, room counts) had to be edited in by hand for every print run. It didn't scale.
The solution
Escape Hunt partnered with Printkits to create a centralised print management system. Brand assets uploaded once, design elements locked, store-level permissions configured so each venue sees only the materials it's authorised to order.
- Brand assets and templates uploaded centrally; locked at the design level.
- Variable data fields per venue, addresses, QR codes, room-specific details auto-populated.
- Approval workflows optimised to remove delays at the head-office gate.
- Easy-to-use ordering platform every venue manager can self-serve from.
- Real-time order tracking and delivery visibility.
The results
With Printkits, Escape Hunt gained full visibility into their print process, tracking orders from production to delivery. Optimised print quantities and a structured system reduced waste, cut costs and ensured each location received materials on time. Print admin time has dropped by more than half.
"Escape Hunt operates across multiple countries, and getting print right at that scale used to mean weeks of back-and-forth. Printkits changed that completely. We now have locked templates for every venue type, managers can self-serve in minutes, and we've cut our print admin time by more than half. It's made scaling genuinely effortless.
