In a way, an escape room contains the raw essence of an office job: multiple people working together to meet a shared goal. By solving puzzles together, you can certainly find yourself getting along better with your co workers afterwards. 

Get the brain running

Are you feeling burnt out from repetitive daily tasks? Channel your brain power into something new and constructive. With challenging puzzles that you’ll solve with colleagues, an escape room can give your brain a break from an office-based worldview and help it see things from a new perspective.  

A feeling of success

In an escape room, you are given a clear, concise goal, one that, with ingenuity and teamwork, you can reach with ease. Like a novel that pulls you in, an escape room challenge delivers you from a hectic outside world into a simpler, more concrete universe that has a clear beginning and end, and like a novel, you are left with a satisfying experience that you can carry with you in the real world.
