Anyone who has planned a company outing knows the problem. One activity rarely suits everyone. The puzzle people love one thing, the loud competitors love another, and the people who just want to hang out don’t want to be put on the spot.
The fix is to plan the event in rounds.
Round one: small teams, one mission
An escape room is a great way to break a big group into small teams that have to rely on each other. At Mind Busting Escape Rooms, every game is private. A room holds up to 10 players (Cartel holds up to 6), and a large group plays several rooms at the same time. We host groups of 11 to 80 players.
Every team plays the same 60 minutes, so when everyone comes back out, you have something the whole company can compare: who escaped, who used the fewest clues, who got the closest.
Large-group pricing is per person and drops as the group grows: $30 for 11 to 15 players, down to $26 for 41 to 50. See our team building page for the full details.
Round two: everyone in one room
After small-team play, bring the whole group back together for something everyone watches and plays at once. The Game Show Challenge runs host-led game shows with buzzers and a live studio feel, and scales from small departments to groups of 100 or more. It gives the loud competitors a stage and the quieter people a team to cheer for.
Why the combination works
- Two different skills. The escape room rewards quiet cooperation. The game show rewards quick answers and big energy. Everyone gets a turn to shine.
- Natural mixing. Assign escape room teams across departments, then let those same teams compete in the game show.
- A built-in story. The team that escaped the Alaska research facility with seconds to spare will be talking about it for weeks.
