(Newswire.net — April 23, 2019) — The first thing to think about when you’re leaving work or school is what you are going to do with your time. An escape room is a real-life adventure game where participants assemble in a themed room. In the game, the participants are expected to accomplish a given mission and then escape the room within a specific time frame. Here we will cover some escape room benefits, and why escape rooms are perfect for corporate team building, family vacations and having fun with friends.
Escape Room Benefits
Being in an escape room requires creativity, patience, teamwork, and speed. Every puzzle solved has got some impacts on the brain. Escape rooms have many benefits, so here are some of the key benefits and reasons for participating in an escape room.
Increase Communication and Social Skills
Communication is the key to success when working as a team. Due to personal differences, you may not be able to communicate with your partner freely. When put in a high-pressure situation we’re forced to communicate and interact with those close to us. Escape rooms revitalize the inner urge to discuss solutions to overcome challenges as a team.
Increase Memory Capacity and Ability
As we grow old, we lose the ability to remember things. Some escape rooms require the participants to acquire and retain some information to use it later in the game. Such practices increase our memory capacity and ability to recall something.
Relieve Stress
Unmanaged stress causes various health problems such as stomach ulcers, heart disease, asthma, and stroke. With little time to relax, work stress keeps on building up day in day out. Participating in escape room games help forget stressing thoughts. When playing these games the level of adrenaline (the hormone responsible for happiness) increases, on accomplishing a mission. Escape room games increase the level of satisfaction and happiness.
Increase Social Bonds
Spending quality time family and friends make us feel connected to them. Going out to catch a movie doesn’t require much socialization as there isn’t much talking during a movie. Doing something different from the usual will enrich the time spent together. Playing an escape room room gives you memorable experiences outside of your regular routine.
Time Management Skills
In escape room games, you’re given a limited time (usually one hour) to accomplish a mission such as completing a puzzle. You have to manage the available limited time well to avoid spending much of your time on the unnecessary. To cover more ground, you have to split your team. In this case, you get the team and use your time management skills. These managerial skills are beneficial to everyone including lawyers, students, soldiers, and nurses.
In Conclusion
As you can see, there are many escape room benefits to experience. Escape rooms provide a social experiences to improve your communication and problem solving skills. Also, escape rooms allow you to relieve stress and enjoy an evening with friends and/or fellow coworkers.
