We all know the importance of team-building in a workplace, but what happens when you work remotely? Your “workplace” can be spread around a number of locations and people’s homes! Enter the virtual escape room, a fun activity that yields a range of benefits for your team.

From enhanced communication and problem-solving skills to a new way to decompress from the pressures of work, a virtual escape room ticks a lot of boxes! We have put together some info for managers looking to boost team morale and cohesiveness, so read on! 

What happens in a virtual escape room?

Your team will work together to find clues and solve a variety of puzzles within a specific time limit to escape from their virtual trap. It is easy to get lost in the mission and world created by the Game Master who is there to guide you, ensure you stick to the rules and offer clues if you get a little stuck. 

Your team will be together, no matter where they are situated in the real world, in an online room from their computers. They will be able to communicate and work together to complete their mission, and above all, have fun!

Virtual escape rooms encourage team building!

By engaging your team in this new and exciting way, individual staff members will have a chance to get to know one another and how they handle unique situations. This differs from their day-to-day interactions at work and encourages creative thinking and a reliance on one another.

Collaboration, communication, decision making, and problem-solving are just some of the skills required to master the virtual escape room. Your team will be under pressure, and the game can be customised with a variety of settings and storylines to suit your event or goals. 

Try a virtual escape room first!

We understand this may be tricky to get your head around because it’s a new idea – but that’s what makes it so fun! Your team will not be expecting this at your next meeting or after-work drinks!
