Escape Room Participant Panic Attack Incident Report

Running an escape room or immersive entertainment venue means creating thrilling experiences—but participant safety must always come first. When a guest experiences a panic attack or medical incident during a game, having a structured incident report system is essential for protecting your business, improving emergency protocols, and ensuring every team member knows how to respond.

This Escape Room Participant Panic Attack Incident Report template is designed specifically for escape room operators, immersive entertainment venues, and haunted attractions. It helps you document medical incidents comprehensively, review your emergency response procedures, and identify areas where venue accessibility or game intensity may need adjustment.

Why escape room operators need dedicated incident reporting

Escape rooms create intentionally stressful scenarios—darkness, confined spaces, time pressure, and unexpected surprises. While this creates the excitement guests seek, it can also trigger anxiety responses in susceptible participants. A proper incident report helps you:

• Document the full context of what happened, including game elements that may have contributed to the panic attack
• Track your team's emergency response and identify training opportunities
• Review accessibility and pre-game screening to prevent similar incidents
• Protect your business legally with thorough, timestamped documentation
• Improve safety protocols based on real incident data

How Paperform makes incident reporting faster and more thorough

This template captures all critical information—from the participant's condition and game circumstances to medical response and venue exit procedures. Built with Paperform's doc-style editor, you can customize the form to match your specific rooms, emergency protocols, and local regulations.

Conditional logic ensures staff only see relevant questions based on the severity of the incident and whether emergency services were called. File upload fields let you attach photos, video footage, or signed medical waiver documents directly to the report. And with Paperform's mobile-friendly design, staff can complete reports immediately after an incident, while details are fresh.

Once submitted, you can automatically route incident reports to your safety manager, insurance provider, or legal team using Stepper (stepper.io) workflows. Set up alerts for serious incidents, generate monthly safety reports, and keep all documentation organized in one secure location.
