These figures support Traunsee Escape - Escape Rooms bei Gmunden under the planned Renner Interaktiv GmbH.

Current model status - 19 August 2026

The previous launch budget and 24-month forecast are superseded by the outcome of the BH Gmunden meeting. They assumed three completed escape rooms plus a children’s birthday product, the existing two toilets and a selected ventilation/heat-pump concept. Those assumptions are no longer the project scope.

The current scope is:

• complete initial hall layout and construction for five escape rooms plus one children’s room;
• only two escape rooms fully fitted out and operated at opening;
• application for a maximum of 50 people;
• expanded sanitary facilities: two women’s WCs, one men’s WC, one urinal and an additional staff-only WC;
• a likely new hall exit door with escape-direction opening and required panic hardware;
• verified fire separation below the hall and an upgrade/solution for the wall to the neighbouring hall;
• general and emergency/escape-route lighting;
• a professional room-by-room ventilation project; and
• ventilation and heat-pump equipment selected and positioned for the submission.

No current capex total, opening funding need or break-even date should be quoted until this revised scope is priced and modeled.

Gillesberger occupancy cost

Item	Current input
Net base rent	€2,975/month plus VAT
Other charges, snow clearing and waste	About €350/month; estimate from landlord discussion
Known occupancy subtotal	About €3,325/month or €39,900/year, excluding VAT, utilities and unresolved items

Working lease assumption: six months without base rent, worth €17,850 net. This is not agreed until it appears in the signed lease.

Funding direction retained for the new model

Item	Current direction
Target deployed funding	€200,000: €50,000 founder equity plus €150,000 borrowed directly by Renner Interaktiv GmbH
Additional capacity	Up to €50,000 further bank debt may be available; keep undrawn unless the revised proof gates require it
Minimum protected cash	€20,000
Founder pay in the first model period	€0; must be reconsidered in the later livelihood model

These are financing intentions, not proof that the revised build fits within €200,000.

Packages to reprice

1. detailed submission planning, fire design and approvals;
2. full wall/ceiling/door shell for five escape rooms plus children’s room;
3. scenery, puzzles and technology for only the two opening rooms;
4. hall exit door and panic hardware;
5. customer and staff sanitary expansion;
6. kitchen/staff-room adaptation and employee lockers;
7. general, safety/emergency and escape-route lighting;
8. ventilation project, equipment and commissioning for the full layout;
9. heat-pump equipment, positions, routes and commissioning;
10. fire-separation work at the neighbouring-hall wall and all penetrations;
11. accessible 1.5 m corridor and any further accessible-route/WC work;
12. waste storage, signage, extinguishing/safety equipment and final commissioning; and
13. working capital, contingency and opening marketing.

Required replacement model

The next 24-month model must separate:

• full-building/common infrastructure capex required before opening;
• two-room launch fit-out capex;
• deferred fit-out capex for escape rooms 3-5 and the children’s room;
• launch revenue from only the two completed rooms;
• later opening dates and revenue for each additional product;
• the three-month BH processing estimate as a schedule assumption, not a guarantee; and
• downside cases for plan corrections, WC/fire work and a delayed approval.
