To be honest I thought the same thing. Pricing was also a little hidden.

I have been looking for something like this - as patio11 would say, you should always charge more than you think but I’ll be honest, my workplace could not really justify this price for an hour.

In non-pandemic times, it would not be unusual for a company to blow more than that on a laserquest outing or an escape room or something. Seems in the right ballpark for a teambuilding budget.

Curious, what do you think would be a more reasonable price that would "justify this price for an hour"?

I'm not the person you are replying to, but just wanted to add another data point, even if it's probably not what you want to hear - I think $50-$125 is more realistic.

FWIW, I also just polled my manager about this (without revealing my thoughts above), and he said $100 absolute max. For reference, this is at a megacorp (technically they could of course afford more, but budgets for anything related to employee happiness are squeezed tight).

Thanks GordonS. Really appreciate the data point. Interesting, the few managers we talked to as part of our user research indicated a much higher acceptable price point for employee engagement initiatives and the cost savings during the pandemic. Looks like we need to do more pricing research here.

For further data - are you a high profile-ish engineer?

Or a data analyst etc?

The business I’m in may not be representative of the clients you’re looking for (we’re 15 strong), but we would be interested at around the £100 mark.

ircshotty, thank you for the additional data point. Part of the reason for the higher price is that we provide prizes to the winning team. Perhaps we need to consider a lower price point without prizes. Would that help?

Or, maybe we need make the inclusion of prizes clearer in how the price is positioned.

[acct776]

That last bit sounds like the winner.

Make it toggle-able, and you're fucking champion.

Thanks so much the feedback. We've made the prizes toggle-able so now the price point is a bit lower.
