At a basic level, these rooms encourage cooperation. It’s a rare room that can actually be solved by a single person, and even then, he or she is likely need some help. If you put your team in an escape room, they’ll be forced to overcome any lingering communication issues in order to solve the room’s puzzles. This will teach every team member a great deal about the benefits of communication in an organic way that won’t be ignored.

Of course, communication isn’t the only thing that an escape room can teach. These rooms also teach the value of thinking outside of the box. If you have a team that’s bound too tightly to corporate traditions or outmoded ways of thinking, a good escape room can be a pleasant way of shaking things up. The object lesson of most of these rooms if that you have to approach some problems from new angles in order to solve them, something that’s extremely relevant in the world of business. If you’re willing to put your team in an escape room, you’ll be able to see the new ways of thinking they come up with during the game.

These rooms also encourage building up team spirit. Having a challenge for the group to come together and solve is a good way to build ties of friendship and teamwork, even if they get their start in an artificial setting. Once a team goes through one of these rooms, they’ll have a single unifying experience to look back on. For a moment, things like seniority or position will fall away and everyone present will see themselves as a single team. This can be a great way to help new groups of employee’s gel more quickly and establish a rapport.

Escape rooms are a perfect tool for corporate team building. Whether you need to work on teamwork, communication, or problem-solving, these rooms have everything you need. Virtual escape rooms will also inform business management of the natural leaders and potential candidates for promotion with your organisation.  This can also save a lot of time, effort and costs in recruiting externally.

Next time you want to shake up how your team perceives its own strengths and practices, don’t book a speaker – book a virtual escape room for corporate team building exercises instead. 

I recently attended a virtual escape room which was one of the best events I have been at in quite while during these trying times. I would highly recommend Manubu Learning https://www.manabulearning.com/ Great fun for your employees wellbeing and informative for your business.
