The ERGOutreachResearch crawler

If you found ERGOutreachResearch/1.0 in your server logs, it came from Escape Room Geeks. We make printable escape room games and license them to businesses that run games for paying players, such as escape rooms, party venues and board-game cafés.

What it does

• It reads a few public pages of a business website (the home page and at most four more) to see whether a game license could fit that business.
• It reads public pages only. It never logs in, submits forms or reads anything behind a password.
• It follows your robots.txt, which it re-reads at least once a day.
• It spaces out its requests to each site and stops after a few minutes at most.

How to opt out

Add this to your robots.txt, and the crawler will not read your site:

User-agent: ERGOutreachResearch
Disallow: /

If you received an email from us and would rather not hear from us again, reply "stop" to it. We will not contact you again.
