Image Crisis of an Entire Industry – Case Study of the Polish Escape Room Market

Summary/Abstract: In January 2019, a fire broke out in one of the escape rooms in Koszalin, Poland. That tragic event caused an image crisis for the entire industry. This article is an analysis of the crisis, its course, the parties involved in the conflict and the actions they implemented. The results of the keyword research of press publications show that there has been a significant deterioration in the image of the industry and the way it was presented in the media. Escape rooms – previously equated with great fun – suddenly became symbols of death, danger and putting profit above safety. The image rebuilding phase continues. It should also be followed by the phase of drawing conclusions for the future – both among escape rooms and other developing but comparatively fragmented sectors.
