Immersive Play Locations (lemmy.world)

I've been looking at leasing a space for a potential business idea, but I wanted to see what others thought of it. What I'm thinking about is immersive play spaces. A tavern setup that looks like something out of a D&D game, or maybe a spaceport bar for those into SciFi games. Even thinking about a possible Cyberpunk styled bar. The idea is that they would be member driven with guest passes, and alcohol would be supply your own. What I'm asking is if one of these spaces was in your area, would you pay a nominal monthly fee? I'm thinking between $25 to $50 a month with five guest passes.

An enticing idea !

I agree with the other comment about the lack of nerds in volume to sustain this activity by itself. However, if you base the business on another activity (lasertag, bar, escape game) with the same ambiance, you can "privatize" the space a few times a month to have a few bunch of geeks that will spend the 50$ to have a space with visuals and a good soundsystem for the night.

Be sure to write down a business plan which has 80% of revenue based on "mainstream" activities (yes, axe throwing is now more mainstream than rpg ...)
