Choose an Escape Room for your Corporate Event!

Corporate events are an essential aspect of any business as they allow employees to connect, build relationships, and foster a positive work environment. However, planning a corporate event that is both engaging and interactive can be challenging. One activity that has gained popularity in recent years is escape rooms. Escape rooms offer a unique and exciting experience for corporate events, which can benefit businesses in many ways. In our newest Lock Chicago blog post we’ll explore why escape rooms are great for corporate events and those participating.

This phrase gets used most commonly as reasoning for any event but we certainly have to start with Team Building. One of the primary reasons why escape rooms are great for corporate events is that they promote team building. Escape rooms require players to work together and communicate effectively to solve puzzles and escape the room. This teamwork can improve relationships among coworkers and build trust. It also allows employees to develop their problem-solving and critical thinking skills, which are valuable in the workplace.

Stress relief: Corporate events can be stressful for employees as they may feel pressure to socialize and network with colleagues. Escape rooms offer a fun and immersive experience that can help alleviate this stress. It provides an opportunity for employees to unwind and have fun while still building relationships and engaging in team-building activities.

Improves communication: Communication is a vital skill in any workplace. Escape rooms require participants to communicate effectively to solve puzzles and escape the room. By participating in an escape room, employees can develop their communication skills, which can improve their overall performance at work. It also allows coworkers to get to know each other better and learn how to communicate effectively with each other.

Boosts morale: A positive work environment is crucial for employee satisfaction and productivity. Escape rooms provide a fun and exciting experience that can boost morale and create a positive work environment. By participating in an escape room, employees can feel valued and appreciated by their employer, which can lead to increased job satisfaction.

Encourages creativity: Escape rooms require participants to think creatively and outside the box to solve puzzles and escape the room. This type of thinking can be beneficial in the workplace, where creativity and innovation are highly valued. By participating in an escape room, employees can develop their creativity skills and apply them to their work.

Promotes healthy competition: Escape rooms can also promote healthy competition among employees. By working together to solve puzzles and escape the room, employees can feel a sense of accomplishment and healthy competition. This competition can motivate employees to work harder and achieve their goals in the workplace.

In conclusion, escape rooms are an excellent activity for corporate events. They promote team building, communication, creativity, and healthy competition, while also providing stress relief and boosting morale.

Roamli, Scavenger Hunts, and Hidden Gems! Things to Discover in Chicago!

For this blog post we thought we’d take some time away from the pure Escape Room talk and chat about some of our favorite things in Chicago. We’ve been in Evanston for the past 8 years and being close proximity to Chicago we’ve been able to discover some amazing sights and places to explore. We’ve taken our love of escape room discovery and tied it into the travel app, Roamli.

Roamli helps companies build interactive walking tours and scavenger hunts so we thought they would be a perfect partner in finding amazing things to discover around Chicago! Redfin also reached out to us to get our thoughts on some of our favorite sights in Chicago and you can view that article here including some great contributions by other local Chicagoans.

We created two unique Scavenger Hunts, the “Chicago Scavenger Hunt”, and “Evanston Scavenger Hunt” that highlight some of the most unique and hidden gems around the city. Participants can download the event and play through the Roamli App along with discovering amazing sights throughout the world. We’ve included murals, architectural gems, statues, monuments, and more!

Roamli is a unique travel and scavenger hunt app that combines the thrill of exploring new places with the excitement of solving puzzles and riddles. The app is designed to help users discover new locations and landmarks in their own city or while traveling to a new destination.

One of the main features of Roamli is its scavenger hunt game mode. In this mode, users are presented with a series of clues and riddles that lead them to different locations in their chosen city. Users must solve each clue in order to unlock the next one, and ultimately complete the scavenger hunt. This game mode is perfect for users who want to explore new areas of a city, or who want to add a fun and challenging activity to their travel itinerary.

Roamli also offers a more relaxed "tour" mode, which allows users to explore a city at their own pace. In this mode, users can choose from a variety of tours created by Roamli, or they can create their own custom tour. Each tour includes information about different locations and landmarks, as well as suggestions for places to eat and drink along the way.

One of the most unique aspects of Roamli is its focus on community. Users can connect with other Roamli users in their city or in a destination they're traveling to. This allows users to share tips and recommendations with each other, as well as compete in scavenger hunt challenges.

So all-in-all whether you’re looking to get your thrills at an escape room or try your hand with an outdoor Scavenger Hunt we’ve got you covered with Lock Chicago or Roamli. Go discover something amazing today!
