Created in Japan, the escape games are designed to bring people together in a riddled room. In order to get out of there within the set time (usually 60 minutes), you have to solve all the puzzles.
With themes related to murders, horror scenes, among others, the escape games started attracting groups of friends interested in a different form of fun.
For some years now, this kind of activity has caught the attention of corporate groups, who have started using these scenarios to develop professional skills that can be brought into the workplace.
In addition to being part of the selection process of some companies, the escape games attract professionals who already make up the staff, who are invited to play to review postures at work and look for ways to improve them, for the sake of the climate organizational and business results.
Know the Benefits of Business Escape Games
To fulfill the mission of escape games, the first thing is to know how to work under pressure. This is because there is a certain time for the group to solve all the puzzles and leave the room. Communication is another point that is very much worked on in escape games.
Members need to talk about what the riddle says to find the best answer. This time also comes the teamwork, because it is the consensus that will always count on the time to follow up the game.
Creativity and disruptive thinking are other professional skills that the escape game develops. To interpret the clues, it is not always worth the obvious. Seeking new ways to solve problems will help the group unravel the mystery that keeps them trapped in the room.
An important differential of the escape game is the possibility of self-knowledge. One member will find that he or she has the ability to make decisions and convince the group to move in a particular direction. Another will find that they can hear each other and see new faces of a problem. And so on.
And what to do after the escape game is over?
After the game is over, it is important that professionals seek to identify the professional skills that have been discovered and developed and how they can be applied on a day to day basis. This analysis will result in more skilled professionals, more united teams and more creative projects.
