Do escape rooms work well as team events?

Solve puzzles and escape the room together as a team
An escape room is a fun and challenging adventure, and it works well as a team event. In an escape game, players are locked in a room full of puzzles, and the only way out is to complete every task in time. You may also hear it called an exit game or exit room, but the idea is always the same!
Follow the clues and put your powers of deduction to the test
An escape game always starts the same way: a group of two to eight people steps into a mysterious room and the door is locked behind them. For the next 60 minutes, everyone has to work together to get out. The exit is locked and can only be opened with the right key or code. To solve the puzzle, you’ll need to find clues around the room and complete tasks that bring you closer to escaping. Smaller teams often struggle to solve the exit game in the time allowed. The more players take part, the more group dynamics come into play, which is why an escape game can make a gripping team event.
Companies are turning to the escape room as a team event, too
An escape game often shows who is suited to leading a team and who works well with others as a team member. That’s why this kind of team event has become more and more popular in recent years. It’s all about using intelligence, powers of deduction and logical thinking to overcome some tough challenges in very little time. An exit game or exit room suits small groups, but also works as part of a company or Christmas party, as it combines nicely with party activities and food and drink.
For whole departments and large teams, however, this type of event has its limitations, as the number of participants is usually capped at 8 people. When planning your event, you’ll also need to bear in mind that the activity takes place at a fixed venue, so additional transport may be needed. Teamio Event GmbH has a Live Escape Game, which also works with large teams and can even be set up in your conference hotel or right on your premises. A real advantage, wouldn’t you say?
