A verified place page on ESCAPE with its hours, amenities and events, and the claim steps, with sample data.

Great spaces get missed

None of your listings brings an organizer to your door.

Maps show your address, reviews show your stars and Instagram shows your photos. On ESCAPE your place sits on the map people browse for things to do. When an organizer hosts an event there, the event shows on your page and your place shows on the event.

Three steps to be found

  1. Claim your place

    First, find it on the map and claim it. If it is not listed yet, add it yourself. It takes about two minutes.

  2. Get verified

    Then, with an email at your business domain or your business documents. Verified places carry a badge and rank higher in search.

    Verifying a business in the app: a code sent to an address at the business's domain, or business documents instead.

  3. Get discovered

    After that, your page shows photos, hours and amenities, and every event linked to your address appears on it.

Rooms people come back to

A street bar on a corner, an art fair in a big hall, a room before the doors open. Each one fills when the right event is on.
