Bring your teams together and build cohesion with a corporate escape room

An escape room is a real-life escape challenge, and it’s fast becoming a favourite in corporate team building. This immersive activity gives employees a unique experience built on puzzle-solving, team spirit and strategic thinking. In this article, we look at why escape rooms work so well in a corporate setting and what teams get out of them. Discover how this form of entertainment can support leadership development, employee engagement and learning to collaborate.

Why choose an escape room for your corporate team building?

Escape rooms have plenty going for them as a corporate team building activity. Here are a few reasons to consider one for your teams:

01
Team-building exercises

Escape rooms put teamwork and collaboration centre stage. Participants have to join forces, share what they know and communicate clearly to solve the puzzles and escape in time. It's an activity that strengthens bonds within a team and builds mutual trust.

02
Team cohesion

Working towards a shared goal gives players a real sense of belonging. The immersive experience encourages them to get to know one another, recognise each other's strengths and work together smoothly.

03
Problem-solving

Escape rooms are built on puzzles and complex problems. Participants need creativity, strategic thinking and quick decision-making to find the answers. These skills transfer directly to the workplace, where problem-solving is essential.

04
Employee engagement

An original, entertaining activity naturally drives employee engagement. People throw themselves into the game, which helps them learn and remember the ideas explored along the way. The playful experience also creates a positive, motivating atmosphere within the team.

05
Leadership development

Escape rooms give participants the chance to develop their leadership skills. Depending on the situation, some team members will naturally take the lead and guide the others through the puzzles. It's a great way to grow leadership and reveal talent within the company.

06
Learning to collaborate

Success in an escape room depends on genuine collaboration. The activity trains participants to work together, with a focus on communication, dividing up tasks, managing time and coordinating effort.

Collaborative game experiences and team challenges

Corporate escape rooms come in a wide range of collaborative formats and team challenges. Every session is designed around your company’s objectives and your teams’ needs. Here are a few popular examples:

Group games

Group games are designed for large teams and encourage collaboration on a big scale. Participants are split into several sub-groups who must work together to solve the puzzles and progress through the game. This format encourages groups to share ideas and coordinate with one another.

Teamwork and communication exercises

Some escape rooms focus on teamwork and communication exercises. Participants have to communicate clearly to crack the puzzles and pass on key information. These exercises sharpen communication skills, active listening and the ability to work as a team.

Corporate event facilitation

Escape rooms can be adapted to liven up corporate events such as seminars, conferences or meetings. They offer a playful, stimulating break that entertains participants while strengthening team spirit.

Team building sessions

Escape rooms are ideally suited to team building. They deliver an immersive experience that encourages collaboration, problem-solving and team cohesion. Choose an escape room and you’re guaranteed to give your people a memorable experience.

Gamification

Escape rooms use game mechanics to make the experience more engaging and motivating. Participants step into a fictional world where they complete missions and solve puzzles to move forward. This playful approach supports learning and active participation.

Collaborative corporate escape rooms

Collaborative escape rooms put the emphasis on working together. Players must team up to solve the puzzles and progress through the game. The format encourages the exchange of ideas, collective decision-making and knowledge sharing.

They played along with Arcane

Anne-Catherine P.

In an exceptional setting, the Parador de Sigüenza near Madrid, Arcane immersed us in a game highlighting the importance of security and how HP business PCs protect their users — a unique experience, brilliantly delivered! Thank you to the Arcane team!

Elise A.

We called on Arcane for our end-of-year company offsite. It had been an intense year for our employees and we wanted an activity that would bring them together around the company's values, and show them how genuinely grateful we are for their work. Arcane recommended “The Last Show”, adapted to the venue we had booked. The team really listened and stayed attentive to our needs throughout. Our 150 employees loved the experience and had a genuinely fun time!

Morgan S.

In March 2020, our teams all found themselves working from home and we quickly sensed a weariness about that daily distance. We asked Arcane for an adventure that would treat our employees and rebuild connections — all remotely! We played “Crime et l'Écrivain” online and I have to say the feedback was extremely positive!

Stéphane R.

My team and I played War Game. I have to say I was blown away by how much this game reveals about people's skills! As a manager, I got to (re)discover my team from a whole new angle.
