For many corporate groups, they don\u2019t have the time to leave their meeting space and transport their team to an off-site location.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This was the case for an operations team of 20 employees from Coca-Cola located in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.outbackteambuilding.com\/\/locations\/memphis-tn\/\">Memphis, Tennessee<\/a>. The group was planning their quarterly summit, and wanted a fun <a href=\"https:\/\/www.outbackteambuilding.com\/\/team-building\/indoor\/\">indoor activity<\/a> to kick off their day of meetings that would also give them a chance to bond with their fellow team members.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The only catch?

What had once been a plain conference space with simple chairs and folding tables had become their very own &#8220;escape room&#8221; experience. Maps, puzzles, and locked boxes were displayed throughout the room, with scattered clues hidden about.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The group was thrilled. All this excitement, and they didn&#8217;t even have to leave the building!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Their goal was to find all the clues in the room, solve the puzzles, and recover the stolen jewels within two hours, before time ran out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the end, the group managed to crack the final code and &#8220;escape&#8221; with 33 minutes to spare, proving they could collaborate and communicate, even in a time-pressure situation!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Highlights from the activity include:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The 20 Coca-Cola employees all worked together and collaborated as one big group.<br><br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>They only needed two of their three hints, making good use of their resource management.<br><br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Employees had the opportunity to bond and get to know each other better in a fun and energetic environment.<br><br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The team also practiced effective time management skills, always keeping an eye on the clock.<br><br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Different employees stepped up to solve different puzzles in the room, and the group was very effective at listening and communicating to solve them quickly.<br><br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Everyone ended up having a great time \u2013 and they never even had to leave the conference room!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"\/team-building\/corporate-escape-rooms\">LEARN ABOUT ESCAPE ROOM: JEWEL HEIST&nbsp;<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\" \/>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"the-results-this-made-us-a-better-team\">THE RESULTS \u2013 \u201cThis made us a better team.\u201d<\/h3>\n\n\n<p>The event organizers were impressed with their portable &#8220;escape room&#8221; experience, and said there were tangible benefits they could take back and use in their day-to-day roles at the company.&nbsp; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Escape Room: Jewel Heist - Video Testimonial Outback Team Building &amp; Training\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/txRfXwXzsZk?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c<em>Escape Room: Jewel Heist was such a fun event.
