Win rate target works against a curve that surprises new owners. The best-reviewed rooms are not the ones everybody escapes. They sit around 40 to 65%. Above 90% nothing is at stake and the puzzles read as a tutorial. Below 30% groups feel cheated and say so in reviews. The target does move with the audience: family rooms want 70 to 85%, because a birthday group that fails leaves unhappy no matter how elegant the design was.
Team size is built on puzzle tracks rather than floor space alone. A fully linear room supports 3 or 4 players, since everyone is waiting on one thread. Non-linear rooms run three or four independent tracks and carry 6 to 8. Adding players to a linear room does not make it faster, it adds spectators.
Hint budget and throughput both feed the revenue page, so settle those before setting a price.
