[2023] Bookeo Escape Room Integration Guide

Update April 5th, 2023 - We have recently launched a new guide that is much easier to get Google Analytics 4 and Bookeo configured.

This page still has valuable information on setting everything up manually, as well as Google Ads setup - but if you are just looking to get GA4 setup then click here!

Bookeo is an excellent choice for escape room owners wanting a tried and true booking system. It's been battle tested for years and is still the #1 choice for escape room booking systems.

When it comes to getting all the tracking hooked up properly though, it's always been hit or miss. In 2023 there are two new curve balls that have made it even more difficult to get it setup right:

Because of this we have had to create a new system of tracking that does not include crossing domain and configures well with Google Analytics 4.

Below you will find the entire system explained. Follow along carefully and you will have revenue tracking in Google Analytics 4 and Google Ads.

We're escape room marketers at Birch River Design Group and our primary focus is on paid media spend (Google Ads and Meta). We can only make good decisions when we have clear and accurate data.

The system below is crafted for accuracy and out of necessity to do good work for our escape room clients.
