Hashtag Escape is quite possibly the ultimate team-building experience for your company. Please get in touch with us to allow us to create for you an unforgettable day out of the office.
Why is this the ultimate team building experience? Besides being great fun and accessible to people of all ages, Hashtag Escape's adventures offer very real benefits when used as corporate team building events. You'll probably be having too much fun to notice, but the time pressure and unknown challenges of our escape rooms compel individuals to work together as a team to escape in time.
Our challenges are specifically designed to be impossible for a single person to complete and multiple challenges can be attempted simultaneously - the players quickly identify the strengths and weaknesses of their fellow escapees to best conquer the numerous and diverse challenges presented in the environment.
The nature of the challenges also ensure that diversity in the team is a huge benefit. It is not uncommon for a player who started out as timid and unsure to solve a puzzle that stumped the rest of the team - the self confidence boost this provides the player is immeasurable and lasts for long after the hour is up.
Logistics Currently our 7 rooms can accommodate 50 players per hour, and our Chambers can accommodate 24 players per hour.
For teams larger than 74 we recommend incorporating a lunch into your event and booking back-to-back slots so that the rest of the team is occupied while the current group makes their escape. This also allows for team discussion afterwards so that the players can identify how they overcame particular challenges.
We recommend adding a Trivia session or Amazing Race for either the team waiting for their slot, or during the lunch to keep the team building experience flowing throughout the day.
We are happy to assist with planning the perfect event, so please get hold of us to discuss your specific requirements.
