Escape Arcade set for world premiere at IAAPA Expo Europe

Intelligent Entertainment will unveil Escape Arcade for the first time at IAAPA Expo Europe 2026, taking place at ExCeL London from 22–24 September. Escape Arcade transforms the escape-room format into a five-minute, pay-to-play attraction designed for FECs, arcades and multi-activity venues. Each unit accommodates up to two players, requires less than 3.5 m² of floor space, and operates as a fully automated, self-resetting experience with no dedicated game master and no manual reset between plays. The system supports multiple game modes and can integrate with card, token and NFC payment systems, allowing operators to introduce immersive escape-style gameplay within a compact arcade-style operating model. The first unit, Escape the Elevator, will make its public debut at Intelligent Entertainment’s Booth S4922, where visitors will be able to experience the game live. Escape Arcade draws on Intelligent Entertainment’s experience in escape-room design, themed attractions, electronics and automation, bringing these capabilities into a compact format developed specifically for high-throughput entertainment venues.
