A Team-Building Adventure Like No Other
Escape rooms are increasingly used as team-performance research tools in universities and corporate training programmes. A 2020 study in the International Journal of Hospitality Management found that escape room participation produced measurable gains in team cohesion after a single session (Zhang et al., 2020). Separate research at Purdue University showed that successful and unsuccessful teams displayed distinctly different communication behaviours within the first 20 minutes, with high-performing teams delegating earlier and sharing information more openly (Detwiler et al., 2022).
Whether it’s a corporate team-building activity, a kids’ birthday party, or a family-friendly outing, Rush Escape Game offers more than just fun – it’s an experience in critical thinking, teamwork, and collaboration. Escape rooms foster creativity, sharpen focus, and encourage communication, making them the ideal choice for school excursions, birthday gifts, or a memorable day out with friends.
The skills that surface during a session, including delegation, decision-making under pressure, and clear communication, map directly to the competencies most workplace team building programmes are designed to develop. The difference is that your team is having fun while they do it. We have been hosting corporate team building events at Rush since 2016, working with teams from KPMG, Coles, Apple, Mercedes-Benz, and hundreds of Melbourne businesses.
