Team building activities are an important part of any business or organization. They can help to improve communication, collaboration, and problem-solving skills among team members, as well as help to strengthen relationships between coworkers. One of the most popular and engaging team-building activities is an escape room experience. In this blog article, we’ll explore what an escape room is, the benefits of an experience, how to choose the right escape room, tips for maximizing the benefits of an experience, team building activities, and planning and hosting your event.
An escape room is a live-action game in which teams of players are placed in a themed room and must use their problem-solving skills to solve puzzles, find clues, and complete tasks to “escape” within a set time limit. Escape rooms can range in theme from horror or science fiction to detective mysteries and even historical recreations. The goal of the game is to work together as a team to find the answers and complete the tasks within the allotted time.
The appeal of escape rooms lies in the fact that they require players to think outside the box and use their problem-solving skills to work together and complete the tasks. The puzzles and tasks can range from simple to complex and can be tailored to the team’s skill level. Additionally, escape rooms can be used in a variety of settings, from corporate team building to birthday parties and even educational experiences for school groups.
Escape rooms offer a unique and engaging way to foster team-building and problem-solving skills. The experience of working together to solve puzzles and complete tasks can help to improve communication, collaboration, and trust among team members. It also encourages creativity, as players must think outside the box to find solutions. Additionally, escape rooms can be used to help hone problem-solving and critical thinking skills, as well as help to increase productivity among team members.
The experience of an escape game is also a great way to break up the monotony of everyday office life. By taking a break from the same old routine and engaging in a new, exciting activity, team members can come back to the office feeling energized and motivated. The sense of accomplishment that comes from completing the tasks in a team building event help to boost morale and team spirit.
Finally, a game experience can be a great way to build relationships between your entire team. By working together to solve puzzles and complete tasks, players can get to know each other in a fun and engaging way. This can help to create a sense of camaraderie and trust that can carry over into the entire group.
When choosing a game for your team building event, there are a few things to consider. First, it’s important to choose a theme that will be interesting and engaging for the team. You’ll also want to consider the size of the team and the skill level of the players. Some escape rooms are designed for smaller teams, while others can accommodate larger groups. Additionally, some escape rooms are more difficult than others, so it’s important to choose one that is appropriate for the skill level of the players.
It’s also important to consider the cost of the escape room. Some escape rooms can be quite expensive, so it’s important to find one that is within your budget. Finally, it’s important to make sure that the escape room is safe and secure. You’ll want to make sure that it meets all safety regulations and is staffed with experienced, knowledgeable personnel.
Once you’ve chosen the right escape room, there are a few things you can do to maximize the benefits of the experience. First, make sure that everyone is on the same page. Establish a set of ground rules and expectations for the team, and make sure that everyone is aware of them.
Second, make sure to allow enough time for the experience. Many escape rooms require players to complete tasks within a certain amount of time, so it’s important to make sure that you allow enough time for the team to complete the tasks. Additionally, it’s a good idea to plan ahead and give the team a few practice runs beforehand so that they can get familiar with the puzzles and tasks.
Finally, make sure to debrief after the experience. Ask questions about the experience and allow team members to share their thoughts and feelings. This can help to ensure that everyone had a positive experience and that everyone learned something from the experience.

CES and Number One Escape Room Pass Deal!
Yay! CES is back! The Number One Escape Room in Las Vegas is offering CES attendees 50% off and a free souvenir Vegas Escape room T-shirt (very high quality material).
CES VIP escape room packages start Thursday, January 5th thru Sunday, January 8th. CES INDUSTRY attendees will receive their VIP Package deal when showing their deluxe conference pass or exhibit plus pass or by using the booking code CES2023.
Number One Escape Room is listed as FIVE STARS across the board on sites such as YELP, Google, and Trip Advisor because of the unique and extravagant set designs. They have two locations with seven unusual games in total; The Cabin, The Shed, Witch House, Suzy’s Cell, and Red Riding Hood (a twisted bizarre take on the old time fairy tale) and The Third Gate Hotel (an eerie experience with a live actor). From the moment the doors open until you complete the room it’s immersive; and the level of technology is impressive! If you’ve never played an escape game you were in for a real treat. Brush off those brain cobwebs and get ready to immerse yourself in the game. Working together as a team is important but looking for hidden keys and clues alone is also part of the game. As soon as you enter the room, gather up everything in the room that you think is part of the puzzle. Make sure to tell and show your teammates what you have found. (There is nothing more annoying than looking for a key and your teammate has it in their pocket). If you get stumped on a game, the gamemaster (who is always watching you) will give you a clue to help you escape.
Just so you know you are not “locked” in a room. Exit access is as simple as opening the door and leaving. At Number One Escape Room the rooms are like walking onto a Hollywood set. In witch House, for example, you are truly in a Witches House that has exploded with spells and has a hocus-pocus magical feeling. The games are incredibly imaginative and once you figure out a game it leads to the next game. There are secret passages and hidden surprises that will take you away from hectic busy lifestyle and into a magical world of laughter and fun. When you and your friends are finished with a game, guaranteed you all will want to play another game. Escape Rooms are addictive.
Once you’ve played one, you’ll want to play more. Playing an immersive escape room can give you a real rush of adrenaline, and before you know it you’ll crave that feeling again, which is why booking multiple escape rooms on the same day is a great idea! But before you rush off to book your next adventure, there are a few things you should consider. Here’s everything you need to know to plan the ultimate day full of escape room fun!
Back-to-Back discount
First of all, did you know we offer a Back-to-Back discount? It’s a great way to get your escape room fix and save. The more games you play the less you pay. But we’re a pretty busy place, and our schedule tends to fill up quickly, especially on weekends, so you’ll have to plan ahead if you want to take advantage of the discount.
If you’re thinking about booking multiple escape rooms, then timing is everything. Not just with respect to our game schedule, but your own as well. Consider the time of day you’re coming: if you might be hungry or tired and need a break between games, consider how you might feel after your first game and whether or not you’ll need a breather. If you’re planning to play a horror-themed game, it may take some time for your heart rate to return to normal. Or maybe you want to ride the high and bounce from game to game. Either way, the time in between games and how you want to use it is definitely something you should consider when you’re booking multiple escape rooms.
Maximize your experience
One thing else to consider is what order you’ll play your games to maximize your experience. Some people prefer to start with an easier game and work their way up to a more challenging one. Some people like to ease into an adventure game before braving something horror-themed. Either way, choosing the sequence of your games is important to make sure that you are having the best time possible.
