Questions and answers
Is a printable escape room good for team building?
Yes. The rooms make everyone share information and test ideas together. Office Team Building was written for exactly that, with a debrief question at the end.
How many people can play one room?
Four to six per team is ideal. With more people, print a kit for each team and race on the clock.
