Epic Team Building Experiences

Orlando has plenty of awesome entertainment and fun activity options. From amusement parks and roller coasters to tours and shows, there are endless opportunities for excitement. But for a truly effective team building event, you need something special. The Escape Game Orlando is a terrific option! By playing in an escape room your team will learn and develop the necessary skills for a successful team and positive company culture, all while having a blast! 

Why Team Build at The Escape Game?

What makes The Escape Game so epic for team building? Why bring your team to an escape room over other locations within Orlando?

It’s Immersive. 

To be considered an immerse, experiential entertainment option in Orlando, the event needs to be top-notch. We have in-house designers, creators, prop specialists, and game developers who pay attention to each and every detail of our set designs. From the decorations and robotics, to the intricate puzzles and storylines, nothing is there by chance.

When your team steps into one of our worlds, they’ll truly feel like they’ve been transported to another place and time. Whether it be a special agent on a top secret mission or a 5th grader trying to make it to summer, you’ll feel completely part of the story.

You Can Assess Your Team’s Strengths and Weaknesses.

Being a good team leader is knowing how to help your team members reach their potential. When working their way through an escape room, you’ll see things in your team members that you probably won’t see in an office setting.

There is Potential to Enhance Communication Skills and Collaboration.

Communication and collaboration on a team can be difficult to navigate, especially depending on the various personalities on your team. With so many people working remotely, and team meetings happening on a screen, it can be difficult for individuals to connect and work seamlessly together. While the digital age can connect us by distance, there’s something to be said about the team bonding that happens within face-to-face communication.

In an escape room, communication and collaboration are absolutely essential to an escape. You have to be able to work together as you each uncover different clues and work to solve puzzles. You can’t escape alone. Your team will need each other in order to beat the clock!

Creativity and Team Building

Creativity is more important in the workspace than people often realize. When your team feels comfortable taking risks by adding creativity to their everyday work, you’ll discover a team that operates on a higher level than they ever did before.

Unfortunately, according to a Gallup survey, only 18% of employees strongly agree that they can take risks at work that could lead to important new products, services, or solutions. You could solve this problem in your workplace by investing in team building activities that encourage creative thinking—like The Escape Game Orlando!

Team Building Importance

Why is team building so important? Because a more connected team means a more effective, efficient, and production team. When people love being a part of the group they’re on, they naturally do better. Even more so, when people feel like a valuable and essential part of something, they’re more likely to take pride in their work and try harder on the group’s common goals.

Personalities Within an Escape Room

Whether it’s a large group or a small, we find that people in an escape game usually fit into one of the following categories:

• The Brain: The Brain has a mind for analytics and is adept at discovering patterns, solving challenges, and cracking codes. When others get stuck, their teammates look to them for help.Every team needs this person—the one who is always there when the problem seems unsolvable. Don’t be afraid to throw hard assignments at The Brain. They’re always up for the challenge! 
• The Communicator: A great listener, The Communicator can quickly assimilate new information and relay it back to their teams. They are great at making sure everyone is working together towards the same goal and that no one is getting stuck.This person is a great team player. They’ll do what’s needed to get the job done. This team member would also be a really solid assistant, willing to put others’ needs above their own.
• The Spotter: This person comes in fast and leaves no stone unturned. They are great at noticing the details and collecting clues needed to solve the puzzle. In the workplace, this team member gets the ball rolling in brainstorming sessions.There are few people who can keep up with the fast-paced nature of The Spotter’s brain. They see little goals that the team needs to accomplish on the way to the bigger goal. They’re great at getting ideas started when the team is struggling to find that next creative outlet.
• The Orchestrator: The Orchestrator keeps lots of complex information in their head. They hold tabs on the team’s progress and contextualize it all within the larger story. They see the tasks and delegate them like a champ.They don’t like when multiple people are too focused on one thing. They want everyone to spread out and get the job done quicker. This person would make a great project manager at your workplace. Their ability to keep complex information sorted and plates spinning is a true gift.
• The Tinkerer: Naturally curious, they have the patience and perspective to view a challenge from different angles until they arrive at that “aha” moment. While others might get frustrated, the tinkerer doesn’t get discouraged. They’ll keep fiddling until they figure it out.While your team member may become quiet for some time, don’t mistake this for resignation or frustration. Just let their mind keep working on the problem until they come up with a solution.

What Others Have to Say

People are loving The Escape Game Orlando, but don’t take our word for it. Take a look at what they have to say about us:

“My first experience at an Escape Room place. I loved it. We did the level 7 Gold Rush 2. We finished with less than 2 minutes left and got help about 3 times.

It was a great team building activity and super fun. The puzzles were very creative and more difficult than I was expecting. I thought I was a pretty smart person, but I overlooked many clues. I only made it out because we worked together as a team.

If you’ve never done this, give it a try. Afterward, they offered us a 40% discount to try another escape right away, but we declined.

Super fun evening!”

“Took our corporate team here for some fun team building time and they did not disappoint. Staff was great and the rooms were leagues above others I’ve done in Orlando. Really immersive and really well thought out. Highly recommend it.”

“We went here for our team outing from work! And it was a great experience on top of a great teamwork opportunity. We had opted to go into “The Heist” escape room.

This was my first time and it was thrilling. We got out in the nick of time with 4 minutes left on the clock and the whole thing was amazing. Scavenging for clues to solve various puzzles and figure out one mystery after another while working with your coworkers was very fun.

I highly recommend workplaces take their employees here for a team building opportunity! I know my team had a blast!”
