2. Book an Escape Room
If you’re looking to work on team building then visiting one of the many escape room venues in countries all over the world is a good way to go. The experience of solving puzzles to escape the room will help with collaboration, problem-solving, decision-making, and above all, communication. It is estimated that there are around 50,000 escape room venues around the world, so there will likely be one in your local major city. Venues have different rooms depending on the size of the group and it is common to have teams pitted against each other to see who can exit their room first.

There are a plethora of options to choose from, be it a yacht or a charter boat and all different sizes are available depending on the number of people you have. Many boat companies can specifically set up the boat for your function and even hire DJs and organise food and beverages. Not only is a boat charter an impressive display for potential clients, but the experience also offers a different perspective with great views, a refreshing environment, and a relaxed atmosphere.
