Escape Room company outing
An escape room company outing? Time for something more original: an escape room as a company outing! Not only very entertaining, but also surprisingly instructive. Because say it yourself: where better to get to know your colleagues than when you have to escape together from a mysterious room full of riddles? And maybe that one colleague will suddenly turn out to be super competitive and your other colleague a born leader. So what are you waiting for!
Why an escape room works for team building
An escape room is like a crash course in teamwork. You have to communicate, improvise, think logically and make choices under time pressure. And all this in a setting that is more exciting than the average team meeting. Roles are divided, qualities emerge and the team has to function like a well-oiled machine to escape. Perfect exercise for any workplace. It is not only a challenge, but also an opportunity to discover hidden talents. Who unexpectedly turns out to be the logical thinker? Who takes the lead? And who provides the creative angles? You get to know each other from a completely different angle.
Everyone participates
Whether you are a quiet thinker, a creative mind or a born leader: in an escape room, there is a role for everyone. The puzzles are designed so that cooperation is essential and every team member contributes something valuable. We have made the puzzles so that you need different skills to solve them. So shouting the loudest is no use, you have to think about the solution with such alone. Thus, it is not a competition of who is the smartest or has the biggest mouth, but who can work together best.
Laughing together at crazy solutions to that one puzzle, cheering when finding the right code and feeling victorious at the final puzzle. An escape room company outing creates memories that will stay with you for a long time. This shared experience strengthens team spirit and has a long-lasting effect on the workplace. It provides food for conversation at the coffee machine, strengthens mutual trust and lightens the atmosphere.

Tips for a successful escape room company outing
- Choose the right room: Would you rather play against each other in two teams than work together in 1 group? You can! Then book our Mindcrime Battle escape room.
- Divide smartly: Create mixed teams from different departments and functions. That way, you get to know each other even better and a different dynamic emerges.
- Chatting together: Combine playing the escape room with drinks, lunch or dinner. That way you can celebrate the victory together and have a chat about what you experienced together.
- Make sure you have enough time: Allow time not only for the escape room itself, but also for reception, explanations and chat.
- Define the goal in advance: Do you just want a fun day or actually work on collaboration? Then we can think along in the approach.
