IP Games

What Are IP Games?

IP (Intellectual Property) Games refer to escape room experiences built around unique, protected storylines, characters, and game mechanics. These games are owned, licensed, and monetized by creators or businesses, ensuring that their creative efforts are protected and scalable across different platforms.

In traditional gaming and entertainment, IPs are controlled by centralized corporations with limited opportunities for independent creators to monetize their work. ERM LABS is changing this dynamic by bringing IP ownership into the Web3 ecosystem, giving creators full control over their game assets, distribution, and monetization.

The Importance of IP Games in Escape Room Entertainment

With ERM LABS leading the way, escape room IPs are no longer confined to single-location experiences but become scalable, digital-first entertainment properties. Escape room IPs are valuable assets that extend beyond a single game. They allow for:

Long-Term Monetization – Instead of a one-time escape room experience, IPs can be expanded into sequels, digital experiences, and metaverse integrations.
Cross-Platform Adaptability – IP Games can be played in real-life escape rooms, digital mobile games, VR environments, and metaverse worlds.
Brand Recognition & Licensing – A strong IP becomes a marketable brand, opening doors for licensing opportunities, merchandise, and partnerships.
Enhanced Player Engagement – Players build emotional connections with story-driven escape room franchises, encouraging repeat participation.

How Web3 Transforms IP Games

Web3 introduces blockchain technology, decentralization, and tokenized ownership, fundamentally changing how IP games are created, distributed, and monetized.

NFT-Based IP Ownership – Escape room IPs can be minted as NFTs, ensuring verifiable ownership, allowing creators to sell, license, or trade game assets on-chain.
Smart Contract Licensing – Eliminates middlemen by automating revenue-sharing models between IP owners, developers, and partners.
Play-to-Own & GameFi Monetization – Players earn rewards through interactive participation, turning IP-based escape rooms into engaging, incentivized experiences.
Metaverse Expansion – Escape room IPs become interoperable across platforms, allowing for cross-game storytelling and a unified escape room universe.
Decentralized Community Participation – Players and creators can co-develop and expand IPs through DAOs (Decentralized Autonomous Organizations), shaping the future of escape room narratives collectively.
