Team Building
An Escape Room (Desk Edition) brings the thrill of puzzle-solving right to your meeting room. It promotes intense collaboration, lateral thinking, and time management. Teams must communicate findings, delegate tasks, and piece together clues under pressure. It's an incredibly engaging way to reveal how your team handles challenges and works together in high-stress (but fun) situations.
How to run it
- 1.Set up the escape room boxes or envelopes on tables in a meeting room.
- 2.Divide the group into teams of 4-6.
- 3.Read the introductory story and explain the ultimate goal (e.g., 'Find the code to stop the hack').
- 4.Start the 60-minute timer and let them open their first clue.
- 5.Debrief afterward, discussing which puzzles were hardest and how they communicated.
Pro Tips
- Use a pre-made kit if you don't have time to design puzzles yourself.
- Have a designated 'Game Master' to provide hints if a team is completely stuck.
- Set the mood with a countdown timer on a screen and some tense background music.
