Cohesion within your team

During the escape game, participants will be assigned a specific role so that everyone can participate and stay united, in order to achieve the same common goal of escaping from the room as quickly as possible, by finding a maximum of clues and all within a set time.

If a person has difficulty finding their place or does not understand what they should do, then the other members can lend a hand and show solidarity.

Having the same objective will allow everyone to highlight their thinking and skills. They will then be able to compare the different answers and points of view in order to find common ground and be on the same wavelength.

Thanks to this team cohesion, they will see the importance of working together on a common project and will understand the role of each position which is important for a project.

Learn to improve communication

The escape game helps to improve communication between the different members of a company by being away from the office environment. It is also an opportunity to resolve certain conflicts that are still present.

This team building activity is based on a good mental attitude and a good state of mind. Indeed, to succeed in the mission entrusted to them, they will have to: speak calmly while listening to each other, exchange their ideas and share their opinions.

If no one can communicate correctly, then the mission will be lost because they will not have managed to listen to each other. Communication is therefore a very important point for a successful escape game. This also applies to other team buildings.
After this escape game, you will have learned to listen to each other speak and to exchange without shouting at each other. This is a considerable advantage for your company.

Manage your stress management

Stress is a factor that can very quickly arrive and become heavy. It tends to quickly invade employees, which makes their work less effective.
The escape game can become like a release.
Participants will be under pressure because a timer is running and they must manage their stress in certain situations.
It is therefore an excellent way to learn how to manage stress and emotions.

Stimulate creativity

Creativity is an important factor to take into account within your company. A creative team will offer more ideas that will advance the project and improve the company's growth.

Being out of their offices, they will feel freer and more focused to propose new ideas. They will have no choice because if they want to succeed in their mission, they will have to redouble their efforts and ingenuity to escape from the room.

Several escape game themes can be proposed for creativity:
Police theme: This is a classic where you play an excellent private detective to solve an investigation.
Virus theme: Have you always dreamed of destroying a virus? Then it's time to equip yourself with your best suit. This theme is often associated with zombies.
Apocalyptic theme: You will often find this type of escape game where you will be immersed in a mysterious and gloomy universe. Enough to get in the mood quickly.

Creativity is a skill that must follow you everywhere, especially at work.
By proposing new and creative ideas, you will develop the company which will stand out from the competitors.

Break the ice and the tension

There are some tensions between some colleagues which can affect the company's productivity. That's why you have to break the ice by easing the tensions in order to regain a good understanding.
Conflicts will have to be put aside and collaborate hand in hand to succeed in the mission entrusted.
By opting for this activity, it will make it easier to get closer to the person and get to know them better outside the office. This will then make it possible to work better together and in a good mood.
