Escape room: many themes to choose from

For your Escape Room, you can choose from several different themes. The absolute most popular ones are the horror and mystery theme, such as an Escape Room about Saw or about a mysterious hacker threatening humanity.

But not only that, in addition to these two genres, we also offer the possibility of doing an Escape Room on the divinatory arts, such as astrology, or on esotericism, with numerology. Numerology refers to that branch of esotericism that ascribes to numbers not only a purely quantitative and mathematical value, but also, above all, a quality, relating them to aspects of nature and human beings.

There will be mazes, puzzles, games and riddles to solve, all within a limited time. Will the team be able to get out alive and solve the Escape Room?

How to choose an escape room theme for your team?

When you need to choose the right theme for your team:

• Consider the interests of all team members.
• Don’t just consider the themes that interest you, but also think about the goals you prefer.
• Try something new: If you have already completed a mystery-themed escape room, it may be time to change and try a horror or numerology room.

Whatever theme you choose, the team is sure to have fun and get to know each other in a different way than usual.

Escape Room: what are the goals?

The goal of this activity is to stimulate the mind, intuition and logic. It is also an important activity in terms of team building, team building.

In fact, collaboration among all participants is an indispensable factor in solving puzzles and successfully completing the game.

One factor that plays a relevant role is time. Therefore, communication, leadership, and time management are crucial for successful completion of the activity. Necessary to be able to observe and keep track of everything that happens, so that nothing is left to chance.

And what skills can be learned?

• Communication: in order to get out of the room as winners participants need to find a solution. Through communication, it will be possible to exchange opinions and hypotheses, up to the final decision. It is obvious to specify the importance of this ability also within the company as it is fundamental to achieve a good communication level, to grow and improve.
• Leadership: it means the ability to take control and guide the various elements of a team. In every company it is essential to find the right person to fill this role. The Escape Room allows the Team to do it naturally and spontaneously, without injustices of any kind.
• Lateral Thinking: thinking outside the box is sometimes seen as a quality to be hidden rather than highlighted. Within a team, however, it is right to consider all the hypotheses before arriving at a solution. In the Escape Room there are many puzzles for which you will need to evaluate any suggestions. Even the strangest one could prove to be reliable, so why not learn and adopt this system even within the company?
• Listening skills: all participants and team members have a voice. Not listening to even one of them (perhaps the one with the right solution) could decree failure. And even if everyone is wrong, the attempt is still appreciable. A good leader and a good team can listen and evaluate accordingly.
• Diversity and Inclusion: with each trap revealed, the team celebrates in a symbolic virtual hug, increasing their sense of participation and supporting one another. Even at a distance, this friendly environment helps to consolidate a solid corporate team.
