Why choose an escape game for your next Team Building ?

You are already familiar with the many benefits of organizing a Team Building activity. Among the wide range of team cohesion activities, the Escape Game has been standing out for several years. This activity enhances participants’ engagement through both intrinsic and extrinsic motivation, as well as through collaboration within group work. So, why not choose an Escape Game for your next Team Building ? In this era of gamification, there’s nothing better to boost your team’s skills! Let us explain.

What is a Team Building Escape Game ?

Originally from Japan, the Team Building Escape Game, also called Escape Room, is a life-size escape game. The goal of the activity: escape from a room within a set time limit thanks to the dynamic created by collaborative teamwork.

In practice, your employees are divided into teams that compete to be the first to get out and win the Escape Game! A universe is created around a theme or storyline, in which each participant takes on a role for the duration of the game.

The Team Building Escape Game is an effective gamification-based learning tool, organized around:

  • solving problems, puzzles, and riddles ;
  • completing challenges ;
  • exploring their environment (the room) to find useful clues to progress !

The perfect recipe to make your next corporate event a true success and a great opportunity to strengthen team cohesion.

Why organise an Escape game in the workplace ?

Like any Team Building activity, the Escape Game fosters group cohesion. To complete the mission, participants must communicate and collaborate to succeed as a team.

It is therefore a playful and unique way of putting collaborative work into practice with a common goal. In this sense, the Team Building Escape Game is a valuable tool to, among other things:

  • strengthen team cohesion ;
  • discover colleagues differently—their strengths, weaknesses, and personalities ;
  • improve communication and teamwork ;
  • work on stress management (timing/competition).

Moreover, choosing an Escape Game as your next Team Building allows you to define teams based on departments, ongoing projects, or any other criteria specific to your organization.

What are the benefits of organizing an Esacpe Game within a team ?

When organizing your Team Building Escape Game, you are free to choose among different scenarios based on your objectives and your team’s profile. But regardless of the theme chosen, you provide your employees with the opportunity to showcase many skills, abilities, and human qualities, such as :

  • critical thinking and observation skills ;
  • insightfulness ;
  • creativity ;
  • patience ;
  • mutual support ;
  • pooling of resources ;
  • stress management ; etc.

It is essential for a team to have the chance to come together around a common goal. Informal and playful moments offered by Team Building activities help strengthen existing bonds or create new ones, while also encouraging intelligent collaboration toward collective success.

Organizing an Escape Game for your next Team Building is therefore the ideal opportunity to reinforce communication, recognize each person’s qualities, and highlight the importance of everyone in achieving success—not only in the game but also in broader professional objective s!
