Corporate event at EscapeTartu

As time goes on, more and more companies have come to realise that their greatest asset is their employees. That’s why more and more activities are being organised for employees that develop them, motivate them and make them value their employer more. A very popular place to hold a corporate event like this is the EscapeTartu escape rooms.

There are several reasons for that……

1. Practising teamwork at corporate events

The key to getting out of an escape room is very good teamwork between the escapees. Many of the puzzles used in the rooms are designed precisely so that they have to be solved by several people working together. If everyone in the group just does their own thing, so to speak, you won’t get very far with the puzzles. That’s why a corporate event in the EscapeTartu escape rooms is ideal, for example, for small teams whose day-to-day work depends on communicating and cooperating with one another.

2. Practising leadership skills

Escape rooms are also a very good place to practise and observe leadership skills. Since you have to get out of an escape room within a certain time, the whole team is put under pressure. In a situation like that, someone always has to take on the role of leader and get the team working productively. Often the people who manage it are those who don’t play a leading role in their everyday working life.

3. Team building, getting to know each other and “breaking the ice” at corporate events

Companies have often used escape rooms to help new people who have recently joined the team bond better and to “break the ice” in how they communicate with each other. The same practice has also been used, for example, between employees of different offices: say, when one office is in Tallinn and the other in Tartu. After escaping from an escape room at a corporate event, the ice between the group members has melted and from then on they communicate much more freely. That in turn helps later on in working life and helps to raise employees’ productivity.

4. An engaging and fun activity

When a company’s employees are told “let’s go and do something together as a team”, the last thing they want to do is some very boring, dry activity. An escape room is the exact opposite – it’s fun and engaging. Laughter, positive emotions and a good mood are guaranteed in escape rooms. Often players are so absorbed in the game that afterwards they tell us they wouldn’t have believed how quickly 1 hour and 15 minutes can fly by.

5. Flexible

EscapeTartu is always very flexible when it comes to organising events. We’re flexible about the number of people, the times, the catering and so on. Our aim is always to offer friendly, good service and not to be rigid. Our seminar room can also be used for running training sessions. You are also always welcome to bring and enjoy your own food and drinks. On top of that, we’re open to all sorts of crazy ideas.

As you can see, there are plenty of reasons to visit EscapeTartu with your team, and companies have recognised how useful escape rooms are. Our clients have included Estonia’s largest IT companies, banks, industrial companies, government agencies and so on. Since a great many of the companies that have visited us have kept coming back again and again, we believe we’ve managed to offer them a very good, high-quality service that they were happy with. If you’d like to do something useful and cool with your colleagues, or you’re looking for a place to hold a corporate event, we’d love to see you at EscapeTartu 🙂
