The right mix of a teambuilding programme can be a great experience for company employees. And you guessed right-it only works if you don’t force people into it. Only voluntary fun is fun.

 

As an employer you tried to provide your employees with a developmental activity and at the same time you want to thank them for the work. Teambuilding in an escape room is an ideal firm activity-it doesn’t require a lot of time or travelling, there’s no threat of injuries or physical exercise. Solving problems and riddles has a positive effect on the psyche of the players, especially if they’re successful in the game. After days in a sedentary work position this is a welcome change. What then can a teambuilding game in Questum give?

 

• The employees can get to know each other from a less formal side. You can discover new and surprising traits in your colleagues. New faces will fit in more easily. The usual corporate barriers in relationships will be dissolved.

• Mutual team communication is practiced. Teamwork is important in games as well as in work. During an escape game it often happens that natural leaders step out of the shadows and are more initiative.

• Since you’re pressed by a time limit in the game, you have to work really efficiently. Devide the roles, competences and rights-just as in reality.

• You’ll find out who from your colleagues is more reluctant, who has creative ideas and who is an individualist, who panics easily and who is able to be cool about it.

• You’ll test the abilities and logical thinking of your people.

 

You’ll recognise a successful teambuilding if all of the players are content, they don’t divide into groups or pretend that they’re interested, and everyone participated in the common work. The employees are content and wiser and happier to have completed the experience and they will talk about it for a long time afterwards. And your role is to bring the positive energy back to the office.
