The London branch of Escape Hunt, opening tomorrow, will have ten rooms on one single rather large floor. To the best of the knowledge of this international audience, is this a global record? Most branches of Escape Hunt have six, though a quick search reveals one with five and one with eight. Looking at the Toronto list, nobody can match up there, no other UK or Irish site has more than five and the most I had heard of elsewhere is The Mindtrap in Greece with six. Accordingly, ten might just be the leader in the clubhouse.
However, I know there's so much that I don't know - in particular, I know nothing about the Asian scene, and it would be very plausible for there to be a site in, say, Beijing with a dozen games. (Or might they tend to stop at a lucky eight?) Can anyone point to a site with ten or more games, please, or is this to be considered the global leader?
A related question is how many different games a site might feature, and London's Escape Hunt has only three - in two fours and a two. I believe The Mindtrap has six different games, but - again - I'm keen to know more from those better informed.
Thank you for your help!

Considering all the updates from the Escape Hunt London branch recently, I thought they had already opened. Its slightly difficult to get any information from room escapes located in China due to the language barrier and online information is really limited - let alone finding the related website. However, I will put forward Freeing Hong Kong and its Mong Kok branch which currently has 8 rooms - with a different theme allocated to each room. I wonder if it's interesting to note that Freeing Hong Kong Mong Kok branch has exactly 8 rooms or its just a very lucky coincidence.

I can only speak for Malaysia. So far, the room escape with the most room in a site is Escape Room Berjaya Times Square branch. They have 8 rooms with different themes for each rooms. Not sure if you're including the fact that each rooms/games have their own smaller rooms in them.

Ten games, of which there are three different types of game, for sure; counting sub-rooms, who knows just how many rooms there are in total? :-)

For completeness: Freeing Singapore's branch at Bugis+ also has ten rooms; however, extremely impressively, they're all different. So unless someone else knows better and/or can speak Chinese, Freeing Singapore was almost certainly the leader in the clubhouse until it was joined by Escape Hunt London. It seems most unlikely that a site might feature more than ten different games, but the industry is in its early stages and records are there to be broken!

Unfortunately, Freeing Singapore's bugis+ outlet currently only has nine rooms, since the Maplestory room has yet to be opened. That being said, the other three of their newer rooms only opened a couple of months ago. So there were only 6 until very recently. Heh.
As a side note: for one reason or another, there are very, very few duplicate escape game rooms (that is, multiple similar rooms) in Singapore. So it isn't quite as impressive, I suppose.
