A good team building exercise will have the following qualities:

It creates appreciation for different employee strengths

Employees will recognize their own strengths are and how they relate to others

Communication between employees is improved

The experience is engaging and entertaining

Escape rooms require everyone in the team to work together to complete a mission. Every player in an escape room team possesses unique strengths and talents that play together to move the team forward. Escape rooms include puzzles of logic, tasks to complete, linguistic riddles and games, and communication.

In addition, employees can really see how important their talents are. Figuring out a puzzle or riddle that had top performers stumped can make the underdog feel valuable and needed. It can improve their level of self-efficacy and confidence in a novel way.

Communication is key in escape rooms, and many puzzles cannot be completed without multiple players involved. Escape rooms make communication fun and exciting and force players to “think outside the box” when trying to communicate a thought or idea.

Lastly, escape rooms are exciting and fun! The immersive experience allows your team to take a much-needed break from reality and enter a whole new world. The diversion from the day to day workplace stressors will be the self-care your staff desperately needs.
