Why You Should Have Your Next Team Building Event At An Escape Room!

How Does an Escape Room Work for Team Building?

During an escape room experience, a group enters a themed room and works toward a common objective.

Players search for clues, connect information, solve puzzles, and communicate their discoveries with other members of the team.

There is no single skill that determines whether a group succeeds.

One person might notice a hidden detail. Another may recognize a pattern. Someone else might organize the clues the group has already discovered or suggest a completely different approach to a puzzle.

That naturally encourages people to combine their individual strengths.

Escape Rooms Encourage Communication

Communication is one of the most important parts of an escape room.

A clue discovered by one player may be exactly what another player needs to solve a different puzzle. Teams quickly discover that sharing information and listening to each other's ideas is more effective than everyone working independently.

Unlike a traditional team-building exercise, this happens naturally as part of the game.

The team isn't being told to practice communication. They need to communicate because it helps them accomplish the mission.

Everyone Can Contribute

Escape rooms can also reveal strengths that coworkers don't always see in their normal workplace environment.

A quiet employee may notice an important clue everyone else overlooked.

Someone who rarely leads meetings might become excellent at organizing information during the game.

Another person may be particularly good at logic puzzles, recognizing patterns, keeping the group focused, or encouraging teammates when a puzzle becomes difficult.

There is no requirement to be athletic or have previous escape room experience. Players with different personalities and skills can all contribute.

Escape Rooms Build Problem-Solving Skills

Escape room puzzles are designed to make players think differently.

Teams may need to examine objects, identify patterns, interpret information, connect seemingly unrelated clues, or reconsider an idea that isn't working.

Because the challenges are unfamiliar, coworkers have an opportunity to solve problems together outside their usual workplace routines.

And there is an important difference from solving a problem at work:

It's a game.

The experience can be challenging without feeling like another assignment from the office.

A Team-Building Activity Employees Can Actually Enjoy

A successful corporate outing should be useful, but it should also be fun.

For approximately 60 minutes, coworkers can forget about emails, meetings, and deadlines and concentrate on a completely different mission together.

Escape rooms create memorable moments: finding an important clue, finally solving a difficult puzzle, realizing the team has been looking at something the wrong way, or completing the final challenge with only minutes remaining.

Whether the team completes the mission or not, everyone shares the experience afterward.
