Abstract: Accurately identifying the factors that affect the evacuation of personnel in escape rooms during emergencies such as fires, and objectively and systematically analyzing the hierarchical relationship and importance of the factors, is crucial for emergency evacuation in escape rooms. Based on the industry norms and current situation of escape rooms, 26 influencing factors were extracted from four dimensions: personnel, building structure, environment, and fire management. A three-level hierarchical structure model of the influencing factors for personnel evacuation in escape rooms was constructed using AISM (Adversarial Explanatory Structure Model) and MICMAC (Cross Influence Matrix Multiplication) methods. The relationship between the factors was comprehensively analyzed, and the corresponding responsibility relationships between the factors and the management, operation, and player levels were analyzed. Then, the weights and rankings of each influencing factor were determined using the ANP (Network Analytic Hierarchy Process) method. The results show that the fundamental factors affecting the evacuation of personnel in escape rooms are mainly the completeness of system and regulations, the type of plot in the room, the form of spatial combination, and the number of nested layers in the space. These factors can be optimized by driving the middle level characteristics such as the operating position of the room, the linkage of door locks, the dimness inside the space, the type and quantity of props, and the evacuation guidance ability of NPC (Non Player Character). Key common factors such as the completeness of fire protection facilities, the preparation of emergency plans, safety education and training can be standardized, ultimately improving the emergency evacuation ability of players.
