Austrian operator inventory
Snapshot — 11 August 2026. 70 operator/brand records, 92 identifiable locations and roughly 290 advertised room/scenario equivalents. The total includes short challenge rooms and parallel builds. Cross-city chains appear once in the major-city table.
The list covers 26 records in Vienna, Graz, Linz, Salzburg, Innsbruck and Klagenfurt plus 44 records elsewhere in Austria. “Rooms” means separately bookable scenarios or physical builds, not chambers within one game.
† = museum, attraction, seasonal or temporary format rather than a conventional year-round escape-room centre.
⚠ = the public sources do not fully disclose or verify the legal operator attribution.
