Stop Sending Room Bookings to Voicemail
It's Saturday afternoon. Your game master is running a room, resetting props for the next group, and walking a team to their door. The phone rings — six friends want to book a room for tonight. Nobody can pick up. They call the escape room across town and book there instead.
Cira is an AI receptionist for escape rooms. It answers every call and text 24/7. It books rooms, answers questions about group size and difficulty, takes deposits, and puts every booking on your calendar — so your team can run games instead of chasing the phone.

You Can't Run a Room and Answer Every Call
When you're running games, your game masters are inside rooms or resetting them — and the phone keeps ringing.
Bookings go to whoever picks up
A group planning a birthday or a team night calls three escape rooms. The one that answers gets the booking.
Your team is locked in rooms, not by the phone
Running games, resetting props, briefing the next group — picking up the phone isn't possible. Most of those calls roll to voicemail.
Someone just to answer calls costs $30,000+ a year
Most escape rooms can't add a person for the phone. So booking calls go unanswered — and voicemail doesn't fill time slots.
Every call is a booking, a question, or a party
These aren't junk calls. Each one could be a full room on a slow weeknight or a big group on Saturday.
The escape room that answers first books the group — every time.
The Math
One Missed Call = A Group Booked Down the Road
An escape room booking isn't just one ticket. A group of six who has a blast tells their friends, comes back to try your other rooms, and books their company's next team night with you. One booking is worth $120-300, and groups that have fun keep coming back.
Miss just 5 booking calls a week and you could be losing $31,000+ a year — rooms and time slots that went to the escape room that picked up.
Cira costs less than one group booking. One booked room a month covers it.

How It Works
Answer, Book, Confirm — All on Its Own
Cira picks up in 2-3 rings. It sounds like a friendly person at your front desk.
Answers Every Call
Day or night, even when your game masters are running rooms. Cira greets callers with your venue's name and asks what they need — a room, a party, or info about how it works.
Books the Right Room
Cira knows your rooms, how many players each one fits, the difficulty, the price, and which time slots are open. It checks the calendar, answers questions, and books the right room for the group.
Confirms and Reminds
Cira books it on your calendar, can take a deposit, and texts a confirmation with the details — room, date, time, and how many players. Then it reminds them before they come in, so fewer no-shows.
Every Call Captures
What This Means for Your Escape Room
Book Groups Before They Call Another Room
A group calls to book a room for tonight while your team is mid-game. Cira answers right away, checks your calendar, books the slot, and takes the deposit — instead of losing them to voicemail.
Take Bookings Around the Clock
Someone wants a room for Friday night or a team outing next week. Cira checks what's open and books it — at 11pm, on a Sunday, whenever the call comes in.
Answer Group-Size and Difficulty Questions
How many people fit in a room? Which room is good for kids? What's the hardest one? Cira knows your rooms, who each one is for, and how hard it is — and it can text the details to the caller.
Answer the Common Questions
"How long does it take?" "Do we share the room with strangers?" "Is it scary?" "Can a 10-year-old do it?" Cira answers from your notes — so callers get a real answer, not a busy signal.
Sell Party and Group Packages
Birthday parties, team-building nights, bachelor and bachelorette groups — Cira explains your party packages, what's included, and books the rooms back to back for a big group.
