How do our rooms work as a team-building exercise?
Our room escape mirrors a work environment, in that it forces co-workers to communicate, to listen to one another, to think outside the box, to define leaders, and to admit their mistakes, all within the short, 60-minute time frame. Your employees and co-workers will have so much fun that they won’t even realize they are developing key skills needed for a successful work environment, such as:
1. Critical Thinking
All of the puzzles and clues in the room have been designed to incorporate different types of thinkers. Your team must analyze and evaluate the problems at hand, and decide on a course of action in order to escape.
2. Thinking Outside The Box
"Outside the box" thinking is critical. Upon entering the room, your team will notice that things are not as they seem. For example, Larry from Accounting, who can’t figure out if Yankee Doodle is calling the horse or the feather “macaroni”, may be your most crucial player!
3. Time Constraints
You must solve difficult clues and puzzles as a team, within a tight time-constraint, which replicates working under pressure in the real world. For example, Punctual Pete the Tech Guy will keep you on task, and on time!
4. Delegation and Leadership
In the chaos and confusion that awaits you in the room, your group must select a leader who can take charge and delegate certain tasks to the right people, all while managing your time wisely. Take-Charge Nancy, who gets under your skin every now and again, will be your best asset here: you’ll definitely gain a whole new respect for her!
5. A Good Time
People will have a great time, and a great story for the water cooler on Monday: a definite morale booster for all members of your group!
