Virtual Escape Room

How do you play an escape room virtually?

Escape rooms have become one of the most popular forms of entertainment, but because they are traditionally done in person, you likely haven’t thought of using an escape room as a bonding exercise for remote employees. That’s where we come in. Our virtual escape rooms offer all the fun, challenge, and excitement of traditional ones, but everything can be done online.

Here’s how it works: your team members log in to the game. From there, one of our game masters walks them through the scenario and provides them the tools they need to solve puzzles, work out clues, and escape. Along the way, your team learns how to work together in a collaborative environment, developing the skills they need to problem solve as a team in the real world. If you’re looking for a way of bringing your work-from-home team members together, there’s nothing quite like a virtual escape room for team building.

How do I host a virtual escape room?

When you book your event with BreakoutIQ, hosting a virtual escape room for your team is simple because we handle everything. All you have to do is contact us to arrange the online escape room for your team and make certain everyone knows when the event is and how to join.

Looking to plan a team building activity for big teams, or multiple groups? Our online escape rooms are ideal for large groups, so whether your group is 20, 100, or 600, our virtual escape room will provide a great experience for everyone. Since we handle everything, everyone at your company can participate, even you! Upon booking, you’ll receive a video conference link to share with your colleagues, along with simple sign on instructions and the game theme. There’s nothing else you need to do, so you can sit back, relax, and join in the fun on event day!

Are escape rooms good for team building?

Virtual escape rooms can be an ideal event for team building, especially since your team can participate no matter where they’re located, so no more worrying about coordinating those carpool groups. There’s also no need to worry about the physical rooms being booked up. Beyond the benefits of why a virtual version of the escape room may be ideal for you, here are some of the ways an online escape room helps your team:

• Your team members learn each other’s strengths and weaknesses.
• Everyone learns how each other communicates and can take this knowledge back to meetings and brainstorming sessions.
• Working together builds trust and teaches your employees to rely on each other.
• Your team gets to know each other in a setting other than the office. They’re likely to talk more about themselves or reveal aspects of their personality they may feel like they can’t share at work.
