Boosting Morale

How does The Escape Game Minneapolis inspire your team and boost morale? First, the opportunity to just get out of the office and have exciting experiences together already puts your team in a great mood. It shows your team you care about them as individuals and you want to do your part to make the company an awesome one to work for. Whether you’re a small or a large group, your members will also be able to gain skills in communication, collaboration, and leadership.
Available Escape Rooms
The Escape Game escape rooms will keep your team on their toes guessing until the very last second! During their mad rush to escape in a 60 minute time limit, their ability to communicate will be tested, their willingness to collaborate will be essential, and ultimately, they’ll either win or lose together as a team. Let’s take a look at the stories you can choose from at The Escape Game Minneapolis!
Gold Rush: The 1800s California gold rush was a time when just about anyone could get lucky with a fortune. No one knew this better than your recently deceased relative, Clyde Hamilton. Though he’s since passed, the prospector left behind quite a pretty penny in gold. As his surviving next of kin, he’s offered you a chance to claim the gold fortune as an inheritance for yourself…if you can find it! You’ve only got 60 minutes to get into Clyde’s cabin and take the gold stash before news of the fortune reaches other greedy ears in town…
Mission: Mars: You’ve just landed on the red planet for an exploratory mission, but your spacecraft experienced some major damage on the descent. Unfortunately, there is a larger problem at hand: a large fatal amount of cosmic radiation is heading towards Mars, which will cause serious damage to the control systems, making it impossible to get back home. You have exactly 60 minutes to repair your ship and launch if you ever want to see Earth again.
The Heist: Your world-class espionage outfit has landed you inside a prestigious art museum. A recently stolen masterpiece is presumed hidden within the office of the museum’s egotistical curator, Vincent Hahn. With the help of your intelligence agent on the outside, you have one hour to find your way into Hahn’s office, recover the painting, and slip away before Hahn returns.
Prison Break: The year is 1955. You’ve been wrongfully accused of a crime, and sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole. Your new “home” is a cell that once belonged to an inmate who disappeared without a trace…or did he? Some claim he escaped. Others swear he was murdered by the infamously cruel warden. But no one actually knows… Can you escape before you suffer the same fate?
Special Ops: Mysterious Market: You and your fellow field agents were sent to investigate the area’s local market. It’s late, it’s quiet…but something isn’t quite right. Just as you are about to wrap up your inspection, you encounter a twist you never expected. Should you have seen this coming?
