Our in-person team building activities are part escape room and part Amazing Race. We mix competition, problem-solving, and teamwork into an incredible event that brings employees together to connect and have a blast! Participants work together in small teams to locate checkpoints, complete challenge stations, and solve puzzles and clues.
The challenges teams encounter throughout the race are varied so that everyone is able to contribute, lead, and follow at different times. At the end, all teams reconvene to complete one final challenge together, which unites the entire group. Then, we announce the winners!
Our team-building games in person are scalable to any group size. This makes them a great fit for everything from small company retreats to company-wide annual conferences. They’re great team-building activities for large groups because the larger the event, the more teams there are racing against one another. We can build out the event at any venue of your choosing, whether that be a resort where you are holding a team-building retreat, a conference venue, a downtown area, or your office headquarters.
Whether you are looking for outdoor team building games or indoor team building activities, our amazing escape races can meet your needs. Our incredible event coordinators will arrange all checkpoint locations and take care of every detail so that you can relax and enjoy the team-building game.
The challenges in our in-person team building activities are varied so that every participant has something to offer. Each attendee will have a chance to lead and to learn throughout the event. From logic puzzles to trivia to physical challenges, teams will draw on the unique skill sets of each individual. And all of the challenges are united by one thing: fun!
Energetic live staff guides participants through the entire race from start to finish. First, an emcee distributes race packets and gets everyone excited and ready to play. Each checkpoint is staffed with dynamic game guides who run the challenges and dedicated moderators help the teams through all of the puzzles and clues.
Race packets filled with physical puzzles and clues are distributed to each team. As teams work through them, they discover the locations of checkpoints and challenge stations along the racecourse.
Teams encounter puzzles and challenges that call upon everyone's unique skill set. Our varied challenges utilize problem-solving skills, creativity, intellectual capabilities, and physical pursuits. There's something for everyone!
Teams race to be the first to arrive at the final checkpoint. Once there, all teams work together to solve one final challenge as a cohesive group. This unites the larger organization while still allowing participants to form deeper connections on the small teams.
Our team building games in person are specifically designed to foster teamwork, communication, and bonding. The puzzles and challenges get everyone working together and thinking on their feet. The friendly competition gives everyone something to talk about at the wrap party!

Escapely took care of every detail for us.
Escapely did such a great job organizing our attorney retreat! Escapely coordinated directly with the resort to determine what was needed and took care of every detail for us. We have a very competitive group and we all had so much fun playing this lively game! We really look forward to future opportunities.

Escapely’s team building games in person offer a variety of benefits to coworkers and their companies. We divide participants into small teams which allows everyone to have a voice. Teams communicate and problem solve together as they make their way through a series of puzzles, clues, and challenges. The race structure adds an element of competition that helps teams take the challenges even more seriously and forges deeper connections. When employees bond together outside of the office, their workplace relationships are strengthened as well. Coworkers talk about our group team building games and compare stats long after the event is over!
Our corporate team building activities are specifically designed to involve a wide variety of strengths and skills. To be successful, team-building ideas must get employees out of their normal office hierarchy so they can work together and view each other in new ways. Our team building games in person foster an environment in which everyone will shine and struggle at different times. The leader of one challenge will be a learner and follower on the next challenge. This allows someone who is not typically in a leadership role to develop those skills by guiding their team through a challenge. It also reminds those in leadership positions that every employee has something to learn from every other team member. This makes our events excellent leadership team building activities.
Escapely escape races and other team building games in person are so much fun that they’re usually the highlight of the conference. We can set up around the conference venue or operate the team building game at a unique location to give participants a chance to get offsite. It’s one of the best team building exercises for large groups because no matter what the size of the overall group, attendees still play the game in small teams that are able to bond and connect. Of course, at the wrap party, there is always some friendly trash-talking between the teams. It’s a team building event your team will never forget!

An infamous art thief known only by the nickname Le Papillon has pulled off another heist! The masterpiece “The Cloisters” was taken from the Met in broad daylight. She left her trademark butterfly on the scene and the job was so skillful authorities have ruled out a copycat theft.
Le Papillon has evaded capture for a long time and it seems that she has become overconfident and careless. She left behind an uncharacteristic number of clues and pieces of evidence. Sources tell us she is hiding out nearby and we think that with your help, we might finally be able to nab her!

To catch her before she escapes for good, we must work quickly. Investigators have struggled to piece together the evidence and we need your help. Can you follow the trail of puzzles and clues to help us cut off her escape route, find the painting, and arrive at the final checkpoint first?
Our team building games in person are an escape from technology. Participants collaborate to work real-life puzzles that they can manipulate, scribble on, and pass around. These physical challenges require everyone on the team to strategize and communicate and result in satisfying "aha" moments when they figure out the solutions! We do use technology as appropriate to check answers and make sure everyone has the hints and help they need.
Our team building services cover every aspect of your team building event so you and your group won't need to do anything other than show up. Our friendly staff will coordinate the challenge stations, take care of every detail, and seamlessly execute the perfect event for your needs. On game day, our enthusiastic and professional hosts guide participants every step of the way so that no one is ever left wondering what to do next.
Participants collaborate, lead, and listen to complete each stage of the race. The competition element sparks teamwork whether the participants work together frequently or are just getting to know each other - it's the perfect ice breaker. At the end, all teams work together to complete the final challenge so the entire in-person team building activity ends on a unified note.
The puzzles, clues, and challenges players encounter along our race course are specifically designed to involve every player's skill set. It is important to team building that everyone has opportunities to lead and to learn, no matter what their typical roles are in the office. One employee might shine by helping the team complete a spatial challenge while another employee leads the team through a logic puzzle or a trivia challenge.
From the time you inquire about your team building activity to the announcement of the winning teams, we are with you every step of the way. Our incredible event coordinators will work with you to determine the perfect team building event for your needs. Depending on whether you prefer outdoor team building or indoor team building, we will organize the location of each checkpoint.
On game day, one of our energetic emcees will greet your group and start the excitement! Your emcee will divide teams, distribute race packets, and get everyone ready to race. Throughout the event, teams will encounter checkpoints and challenge stations operated by our fun and professional hosts and our staff will provide as many hints as the teams need to get them through the challenges. At the end, teams complete one final challenge together as a whole and then we announce the winners!

Escapely team building games in person are the most exciting games available in the IRL team building genre - take it from our clients! Our amazing escape race is a grand event for companies looking for a “wow” factor at their conference, company retreat, or sales kickoff. Smaller-scale team building activities often involve simple games or even just coworkers talking to each other. Our in-person team-building activities take it to the next level. Our puzzles, games, and challenges are specifically designed to encourage communication and collaboration amongst teams, but the participants will be having too much fun to notice! Throughout the race, teams will encounter a wide variety of challenges and the competition keeps everyone completely engaged from start to finish.
Because our events are all custom, we come to you and run the game wherever you would like. This often means the venue is more special and gets coworkers out of their daily routine. We are often part of a special trip or retreat. We can hold our team-building activities outdoors or indoors depending on client preferences. Lately, we have been getting a lot of requests for outdoor team building activities because employees are so eager to get outside! In this case, the checkpoints would be positioned around a resort or an outdoor city area. We can also host an indoor team-building game around a conference center, office headquarters, or a retreat hotel. Our event coordinators set everything up - all you need to do is let us know your preferences and we take it from there.
Our team building for large groups of professionals is really unmatched. The game is scalable to any sized group and the larger events become a production filled with energy and excitement. However, because everyone plays broken out into small teams, it also works wonderfully with small groups. We just recommend having at least 2-3 teams to get a competition going. Smaller companies can even join forces with other companies you have a good relationship with for a friendly competition!
