Fairfax, Virginia – March 15, 2019 – Room Escape Fairfax, a Fairfax escape room venue, recently released a blog explaining how escape rooms can be used to increase productivity and cohesiveness within corporate teams. Escape rooms are one of the many Northern Virginia team building activities that can provide a welcome break from the office and teach valuable professional skills in the process.
Classic team building activities, like ropes courses or in-office games, can get tired. People participating in an activity that doesn’t pique their interest are less likely to put in the energy and mental effort necessary to truly learn from the experience. Groups that forgo team building altogether may be missing out on the opportunity to gain important professional, interpersonal, and social skills that can propel them and their companies to the next level.
When your team books an escape room experience for its team building activity, it will have just one hour to solve riddles, crack puzzles, and find the key that unlocks the room. Participants will have to work together to find their way out, making good communication skills essential. They’ll also need to understand how to cooperate with each other, relying on individuals’ skill sets and both leading and following to succeed. Escape rooms help develop both creative and critical thinking skills as well. While rational thought will be necessary, the stress of the clock and the unique environment encourage participants to try more unique ideas to find success. Finally, escape rooms help create a sense of camaraderie and responsibility for each other. With the ice broken, coworkers will be more likely to call on each other for support and to give it in return for the good of the team.
