Which room should I choose?

Tips for running it

  • Groups of 4โ€“6 players work best.
  • Print the clues and spread them around the room; it feels much more real.
  • Afterwards, do a short round: what worked for us as a team?

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.
