Beyond escape room and haunted attraction buildouts, there are two more things Thrill Builders offers that might appeal to Sharks looking for a more family-friendly business. First is mini-golf courses, which are definitely a little easier to sell for all ages than something as complex as an escape room. "Thrill Builders can build you an amazing mini golf course – complete with animatronic installed at every hole," their website reads. "From something complex, like an actual fire breathing dragon, to silly holes that pop your ball back out – we will make your event over the top! We try to make each hole an experience in itself."
Beyond that, they make custom laser tag arenas. Theirs are a bit different than what you might be used to, though; they use what they call "animated and pneumatic props," which react if a player interacts with them and can completely change the game. "If you shoot the tree, the tree branches shake, the monster hiding in the tree growls, and you get extra points," the Thrill Builders site explains.
Thrill Builders will be appearing on Shark Tank this Friday, October 27, at 8 p.m. ET, with Blumhouse founder and CEO Jason Blum joining the cast of Sharks as a guest investor.
