Last Wednesday, Holmbury swapped spreadsheets for cryptic codes, emails for puzzles, and deadlines for locks, as we embarked on a team-building adventure at an escape room.
Almost immediately, our teams were thrown into a series of challenging puzzles. Each puzzle required different skills—some needed logic, others observation, while some relied on quick thinking and creativity. It was interesting for us all to see our colleague’s step into new roles outside of work, revealing hidden strengths.
As you can imagine, we quickly learned that the only way out was through teamwork. Shouting out discoveries, sharing ideas, and making sure no one got stuck on a single task were essential to our escape. We learned to rely on each other’s strengths, delegate tasks naturally, and communicate effectively—even under the pressure of a ticking clock!
Thankfully we all escaped! And it’s safe to say, team work really does make the dream work!
After the escape, we all agreed how much fun it was and how it brought out new sides of everyone. The experience not only left us with great memories but also strengthened our bond as colleagues, reminding us of the importance of collaboration, trust, and a shared sense of achievement.
Completing the escape room as a team was an absolute blast—and an experience we would all recommend to any team looking to strengthen relationships and blow off some steam! If you’re looking for a fun, challenging, and highly rewarding team-building activity, escape rooms should be at the top of your list!
Now, who’s ready for round two?
