Escape Room Insurance

Navigate the challenge of finding the right insurance

As one of the fastest growing sectors in the UK Leisure Industry, Escape Rooms are becoming more complex in order to stay ahead of the competition and the insurance market has struggled to keep up with the unique risks presented. Thankfully Clarke Williams have established a strong relationship with Escape Rooms across the country and have a unique understanding of the risks and insurance requirements enabling us to obtain competitive premiums for your Escape Room insurance.

What Insurance covers should my Escape Room have?

Having worked closely with Escape Room owners we have created a solution to enable you to create a tailored package of insurances including:

• Equipment Breakdown – Equipment breakdown insurance is designed to protect your business against the cost of replacing or repairing your equipment that is damaged as a result of a sudden mechanical or electrical breakdown. It could be the breakdown of a network server, or a compressor failure that causes a game to no longer function. Having the right insurance cover in place can give you the peace of mind that you’ll be able to get things back to normal as quickly as possible.
• Business Interruption – Business interruption insurance is designed to cover your business against the loss of income that is the result of being unable to trade due to an unexpected interruption, such as insured damage to property. This may be because of unforeseen circumstances such as a fire, flood or major theft that have left your business premises unusable.
• Public Liability – Public Liability Insurance is designed to cover your business for any bodily injury or property damage to third parties which arises in the course of your day to day activities such as slips and trips within an Escape Room
• Employers Liability – Employers Liability is a legal requirement for all employers within the UK. It is designed to protect your employees who sustain injury or illness during their normal working activities.
• Tenants Improvements – Tenants Improvements Cover provides coverage for permanent additions you have made to a property such as floor and wall coverings, ceilings, partitions, air conditioning, fire protection, and security.
• Computer Equipment – Computer Equipment Cover is designed to protect your computers and electronic equipment within your Escape Room such as CCTV systems, Sound Systems, Control Rooms and Computer controlled mechanisms.
• Cyber Liability – Cyber Liability Insurance is designed to support and protect your business if it experiences a data breach or is the subject of an attack by a malicious hacker that affects its computer systems. It provides comprehensive cover, simplicity, reputation protection and a trusted partner in the event of a claim.
• Commercial Legal Expenses – Commercial Legal Expenses Insurance is designed to provide advice and legal defence costs for bringing or defending a court case aswell as representation in appeals for Tax enquiries and VAT disputes.

What can I do to improve my risk for Escape Room Insurance?

The very nature of Escape Rooms poses unique insurance risks for insurers along with the usual risks that apply to most normal businesses. There are several steps you can take to help protect your business and reduce the costs of your Escape Room Insurance, such as:

• Regular checking and maintenance of all equipment
• Clear signage for any obstacles or trip/impact hazards
• Initial questionnaires and disclaimers for medical conditions etc
• Clear and concise briefing to players to make them aware of the risks and rules of the game
• Direct supervision or CCTV supervision in place to assist players
• Written procedures for injury reporting and accidents

As specialists for Escape Room Insurance we can help you to implement these measures and provide advice and wordings for your procedures and disclaimers.
