VIRTUAL ESCAPE ROOMS — ARE THEY WORTH TRYING? The Scoop on a Hot Trend In Virtual Team Building
Virtual escape rooms also promote creativity and help your group bond while working toward a shared purpose. This closeness is a huge benefit whether you’re meeting up with old friends or building cohesion on a remote team. Plus, it’s much harder to pass up a quest than a meeting. Virtual escape rooms can come at a high cost and include time limits, but we think the pros outweigh the cons. Sure, your family might not want to pay $1,500 for TeamBonding’s Sherlock Holmes Murder Mystery Escape Room, but because it can accommodate 20-1,000 people, it might be ideal for a company party. Smaller groups have other options, like Secret City Adventures’ rooms, starting at just $15 per person. To find the right quest for you, check out the companies mentioned along with Wildly Different, The Escape Game, Teambonders, and Interactive Entertainment Group.
Standard Zoom calls are the height of boring — but what if you could turn your next meeting or happy hour into a bank heist, hostage rescue mission, or Sherlock Holmes
mystery? That’s exactly the promise of virtual escape rooms, one of the hottest trends for remote workers.
According to The Guardian, the real-life escape room craze of 2018 and 2019 was rooted in Dungeon & Dragons, British TV shows, and lo-fi Japanese video games — in other words: our collective love of puzzles, challenges, and nostalgia. Now, virtual escape rooms are riding that same wave to popularity. Virtual escape rooms have plenty of perks. For one thing, they give your virtual meeting a sense of place. You may not be at your favorite bar or around the table of a conference room, but you are somewhere rather than floating in Zoomland.
