About 8 years in, Escape Team steadily keeps growing, which surprises me (I didn’t add any new missions for about 5 years):

https://www.escape-team.com

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!

The link to your community built missions is down.

Uh-oh, thank you!

Congratulations, really nice! I wasn’t aware of this.

Great solution, great example of how open source should be done.

Excellent advice, for everybody. Thank you!

Your're absolutely right!

Where exactly is the opt out?

Option has now been removed.

I recently started getting the feeling that they also make their workflows way more inefficient for me: their models started to always ask "do you want me to make that change for you", before they made the edits and I would simply reject them if they were not what I needed.

I noticed that as well so fixed it out of auto mode and onto the Claude 4 Sonnet 4. It takes longer but gives a better results.

I also saw that it was 0.8x the ‘credit cost’ thinking still that I had 500.

Now to learn that the 500 has gone and you get unlimited only on auto shows how easy it has been to misunderstand what they’re trying to say.

Also, I’ve no idea how to find out the cost of MAX. Especially as their web agent has the text MAX next to the selected non-max model.

Beautiful!

I‘m writing a visual travel guide for the edge of the humanly thinkable:

(I made a small newsletter sign-up form, feel free to join the wait list for betas and a free e-Book!)

I wanted to let you know there is a typo on the website. it says "Atumn 2025", I believe it should be Autumn 2025.

Anyway, looks like a very interesting topic and I signed up for the newsletter :)
