Lost Temple Escape
203-205 West Center Street
To whom it may concern:
Background:
We're writing to apply for a Conditional Use Permit for Lost Temple Escape. Our company, Lost Temple
Traders currently makes limited edition tiki mugs with artists from around the world.
We got our start by running an Instagram account that focused on tiki mugs and tiki bars (currently with 35k
followers). Many of these followers are big Disneyland fans, and we're continually looking for more ways to
give them fun and relevant escapism and experiences. It's our goal to bring an immersive Lost Temple
themed escape room to the Packing District.
Anaheim is a global vacation destination because of Disneyland, and we think there is a lot of opportunity to
give that audience more and more to do outside of the parks while they are in Anaheim. The Packing District
continues to grow with restaurants and breweries, and the time is right to add more quality entertainment
experiences. We come from the entertainment industry and have almost 40 years of Entertainment
Marketing and Publicity experience with ABC, NBC etc. between us. We bring experience and an audience
that will contribute to the health and well-being of the packing district for years to come. Thank you for your
consideration,
Lost Temple Traders

Operations:
There will be one Escape Room (395 square feet) that can accommodate 2-6 players to play a 60 minute

Number of Employees
2x Lost Temple Traders Corporate, 4x associates
Total on site at any one time = 1-2
Scheduling:
There is only one game reservation available per session. At this location we will have one staff member
running one escape room to support and control each game. Each session is scheduled for 90 minutes which
includes 15 minutes for an orientation with rules & safety of the game, and time for a waiver signed by each
guest that decides to play the game. This process takes 10-15 minutes including story introduction to explain
their objectives for the game they are about to play. Once the reservation ends, 5-10 minutes is spent with the
group to go over questions, take pictures and say goodbye. Game is re -set, cleaned and ready for next group.
Reservations are staggered to avoid overlap and make for easy traffic flow.
The back room (156 Sq. Ft) is the main office for Lost Temple Traders which is currently only 2 employees who
largely work offsite and are only in the office a few hours a week. Lost Temple Traders is an online retail store
that specializes in custom Tiki mugs.
Parking:
This subject tenant space is located on the 1st floor retail space within Parking Structure No. 4 on Center
Street Promenade which contains 777 parking spaces that are available for various uses within City Center. It is
anticipated that an average of 4-6 customers, 2 employees per hour would occupy this tenant space at any
one time. Thereby peak parking demand would 8 (6 customers and 2 employees) parking spaces if each
customer and/or employee arrived in an individual vehicle. It is anticipated that customers would generally
come in groups and not individual vehicles or walk, which would reduce parking demand.
