The Xola alternative built only for escape rooms
Tours-and-activities platforms are built around departures and seats. An escape room sells a private room to a group for a fixed slot, which is a different model — so Escape Navigator is built around rooms, resources and game masters, with occupancy heatmaps that show exactly which slots are worth discounting.
Xola is booking and marketing platform for tours and activities. Below is what a quest-specific system changes day to day, and what switching your bookings across actually involves.
Why escape rooms move to Escape Navigator
We cover what is left of your current contract
Still locked into a paid term elsewhere? We give you Navigator PRO for free until that term ends, so switching does not mean paying twice.
Migration in a couple of minutes
Bookings, clients and history transfer without losing a single record, and your team gets step-by-step instructions plus a learning center with video guides.
No contract of our own
We do not ask you to commit. You start, pause or cancel the subscription yourself, and PRO is covered by a 30-day money-back guarantee.
A free plan that is actually usable
Navigator Basic is free forever and already includes booking widgets, gift certificates, a flexible booking grid, online payments and analytics. PRO is billed per room and gets cheaper as you add rooms.
Built for escape rooms, not adapted to them
Rooms, slots, groups, game masters, room readiness and waivers are first-class concepts — not custom fields bolted onto a generic booking object.
Revenue tools, not just a calendar
An AI chat that sells 24/7, abandoned-booking retargeting, promo codes, upsells, post-game offers, NPS-driven review collection and win-back campaigns are all included.
What you get on day one
The toolbox follows the guest journey rather than a module list, so nothing between the first click and the repeat booking is missing.
Before booking
- 24/7 AI chat for guests — answers, picks a game and books
- Split payment widget — pay now, details and waiver after
- One invoice per group — three rooms — one payment
- Gift certificates — flexible prices and scheduled delivery
- Abandoned-booking retargeting — a promo code for those who didn't pay
- Promo codes and deals
- Add-ons and prepayment — actor, animator, corporate
- Waivers — consent from every participant
During the shift
- Resource scheduling — shifts, hosts, rooms, resources
- Game Master — timer, stages and in-game hints
- Room readiness — you cannot sell what you cannot run
- Classic, VR, lounge, events — any format in one calendar
- Shift tasks — for admins and the tech team
- Info board — what matters — to the whole team at once
After the game
- Post-game scenarios — photos, thanks and an offer while emotions are fresh
- NPS and surveys — a high score — a review on the right platform
- Detractor filter — the problem is seen inside, not in a bad review
- Win-back and birthdays — automatic guest return
- Repeat and cross-sells — a personal offer for the next game
- Referral program
- Email and WhatsApp campaigns — email builder and segments
For the owner

Switching from Xola: common questions
Pricing, migration and setup — the questions owners ask before moving their bookings across.
Kan man migrera från Bookeo, Resova, Xola eller ett annat system?
Ja. Bokningar, kunder och historik flyttas på några minuter utan att någon post går förlorad, och teamet får steg-för-steg-instruktioner. Om ni fortfarande har ett betalt avtal med er tidigare leverantör kompenserar vi den återstående perioden och ger er PRO gratis tills det löper ut.
Hur mycket kostar bokningssystemet för escape rooms?
Navigator Basic är gratis för alltid och inkluderar bokningswidgetar, presentkort, flexibel rutnätsinställning, onlinebetalning och analys. Navigator PRO betalas månadsvis per rum i din lokala valuta, och priset per rum minskar ju fler rum du har — kalkylatorn på sidan Priser visar exakt belopp för ditt land och antal rum. Ingen anslutningsavgift eller dolda avgifter.
Finns det en gratis plan eller provperiod?
Båda. Navigator Basic är gratis för alltid, och Navigator PRO har en gratis provperiod utan kortkrav. Abonnemang kan pausas eller avslutas när som helst av dig, och PRO har 30 dagars återbetalningsrätt.
Hur lång tid tar det att komma igång?
Du kan komma igång på några minuter: registrera dig, lägg till rum och bokningsschema och infoga widgeten på webbplatsen. Att överföra data från ett annat system tar bara några minuter, och i den inbyggda utbildningscentralen finns videoguider för teamet.
Vilka integrationer finns tillgängliga?
Fler än 20 färdiga integrationer, bland annat Google Calendar, Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, Mailchimp, Telegram, Slack, Discord, Twilio, SMSPilot, SMTP, Stripe, PayPal och Square. Allt annat kopplas via Zapier och webhooks, så du behöver inte exportera data manuellt.
Kan gäster boka och betala online på min webbplats?
Bokningswidgets för escape room integreras i vilken webbplats som helst — ingen ombyggnad behövs — och visar aktuell beläggning. Gäster kan betala fullt eller göra förhandsbetalning; delbetalning möjliggör att betala först och fylla i uppgifter och samtycke senare. En grupp som bokar flera rum får en enda faktura, och tilläggstjänster — skådespelare, animatör, företagsevent — säljs i samma bokningsflöde. Presentkort stödjer flexibla belopp och schemalagd utskick.
