Virtual Escape Room

Virtual Escape Room

Need a fun and interactive way to boost company morale and keep your employees engaged? Look no further than top-rated virtual escape rooms by Elevent! With escapes tailored for large or small groups, our online escape rooms are the perfect challenge for teams of any size.
 
In a virtual escape room team-building activity, all participants can interact with the puzzles, brainstorm ideas, and communicate with the moderator. This creates the ideal environment for teamwork, bonding, and friendly competition. Unlike an in-person escape game, a virtual escape room makes it much easier for all team members to engage and collaborate with their coworkers.
 
Our virtual escape rooms come in two different formats. The first is a purely virtual experience in which the participants engage in fully immersive puzzles and challenges to escape the room together. The second is a moderated version in which the participants direct the game host, who then solves the puzzles on behalf of the team. Both formats encourage communication, team building, and problem-solving – along with a whole lot of fun!

What Are the Team Benefits of a Virtual Escape Game?

Improves Team Building and Bonding

All players will actively participate with their teammates to solve the challenges. Together they will brainstorm, collaborate, and communicate over video, working towards a common goal and escaping the room before the clock runs out.

Boosts Communication and Collaboration

With a virtual escape room team building experience, players will work together by talking through various clues, games, and puzzles. The groups that succeed are the ones that can communicate and collaborate successfully. 

Encourages Friendly Competition

Competition in the form of an online escape room can energize a team and motivate them to work together towards a common goal.

How an Online Escape Room Works and What to Consider

- Meet the host: When your group logs in, you will start by meeting the host. The host will provide an overview of what to expect and ensure everyone’s technology is ready to go.

- Team grouping: Depending on the virtual escape game you choose, your group may be split into smaller teams. Some online escape games will let you assign predetermined  groups, while others do not have this capability.  

- Solve challenges: Now it's time for the real fun to begin! The clock will start ticking, and the group will dive right into tackling challenges, solving puzzles, and uncovering clues.

- Winners announced: At the end, the host will announce the winner(s) and share how long everyone took to solve the virtual escape game. Some online escape rooms include a group photo, which the host will share with everyone after the event. 

Virtual Escape Room Tips

- Come prepared: Each team member should come prepared with a pen and paper. You never know when you might want to write down any clues, notes, or hints. Some virtual escape rooms require individuals to come with additional items. Once you choose an escape room game, you can learn more about other requirements under the "Things You'll Need" section.
- Find a quiet place: Before setting up the video conferencing platform, everyone will need to find a place in their home that's free of distractions or distracting sounds. If you can’t find a space, make sure to wear headphones. This guarantees that you can hear the directions, your team members, and any hints or tips that may arise clearly. (You never know when the host might accidentally drop a clue!)
- Communication is key: If you want to solve the escape room first, you'll need to communicate with your team. Sharing thoughts, comparing notes, and building on each other’s ideas throughout the activity will allow you to maximize efficiency and solve the escape room before your competitors do.
Keep your camera on: If your camera is off, you won't be as engaged in the activity. Encouraging your team to keep their video cameras on ensures everyone is present, engaged in the moment, and free of distractions.
