Heard about the saying “We work so hard for a living, that we forget about how to live”. Being enclosed in the four sides of the office cubicle from 9AM to 5PM not just drain most of our energy, some even burn out from the workload the company is giving them, and the only compensation that the company can provide the employees aside from the salary is a company outing, or what some of us know as “team buildings”. There are many activities that we normally do in a team building, some go to the beach, some even rent a function hall to play games, have raffle draws and the like. Some employees no longer attend team buildings because we all know that the activities that the company presented is much more like the activities played on your previous team building.
So how do we create fun team building ideas for our employees not to burn out and have fun while on the event? There are many team building ideas that are out in the market nowadays, but there is one trending game that the world is talking about now. Breakout games is one of these, this game originated as a virtual game and now came to life. It started in Kyoto, Japan and now invading countries across the globe, it is one fun game because you are only given an hour or less to escape a certain setting of the room, the setting will provide clues and you will need to use all the things you can see in the room to solve puzzles and be able to escape the room in only an hour.
This game is one great idea for a team building, as we all know inside the office, we practice teamwork to have the best results as possible in our daily job, in escape games, we also help build camaraderie to the players. Imagine your employees helping each
other with the pressure because of the time limit. You will be able to see or recognize who among your employees is a great team player and if the employees are exerting effort and help with the team to solve the puzzle in just an hour.
