Someone at your work informs you that you’ll be engaging in a team building experience in an escape room. You may be hoping that you won’t be having to complete another ropes course or role-play uncomfortable work scenarios. You’re in luck! Escape room team-building is done in a fun, comfortable environment and you don’t even need to be physically fit to play!
You may be concerned about whether you’ll be good at the puzzles or if you’ll be embarrassed in front of your co-workers because you’re not good at puzzles. You can expect a variety of puzzles to solve. You will be able to shine and show how you are an asset to your team by helping to solve the types of puzzles at which you are good. There may be one or two that stump you, but that’s why you have a team! In those instances where you struggle, you will have a chance to showcase your collaborative skills, by involving other team members. So, no matter what types of puzzles you encounter, you can make this a win-win!
You’re probably wondering if this is going to be the kind of thing you do and then forget all about, with no lasting impact on the team. Most people who play escape rooms can’t wait to talk about and reflect upon what happened in the room. A facilitator is available at The Valcarol Missions to build upon this natural inclination to talk about the experience. Time and space can be provided to facilitate a team building discussion and suggest how to use this experience to impact future teamwork.
Lastly, you can expect an interactive experience that engages you in many different ways. There are detailed scenes at which to look. There are stories that will hook. There are opportunities for collaboration and reasons for celebration!
