Whether you’re trying to improve the quality of communication among members of your work team or within your own marriage, you may be tired of the trite-sounding tips you’ll find in many self-help books. While focusing on “I” statements or trying the “compliment sandwich” approach can moderate any unpleasant news you may need to deliver to your spouse or coworkers, doing so can sometimes feel insincere.
Instead, going outside the box to test your communication skills in a real-world environment can often help you ferret out the areas in which these skills are most in need of improvement. Doing so in an “escape room” can be an even more fun and unique way to combine work and play.
Learn more about how booking one of EscapeWork’s varied and customized problem-solving rooms could help hone your interpersonal communication skills while providing you with an afternoon or evening of entertainment.
Working as a cohesive team is crucial to office success; coworkers who avoid collaboration or carefully guard information can create a toxic work environment, while coworkers who share information freely can maximize efficiency in the workplace.
Exit games are a great way to improve collaboration among coworkers because they’re strategically designed to help the game’s participants interact with one another. Whether you’re operating in a team of 3 or the per-room maximum of 12, you’ll need to practice sharing and receiving information in order to gain exit from the room within 60 minutes.
The diverse mix of room themes available at EscapeWorks Denver will ensure you can find something to appeal to just about any and every interest. From the Outbreak room that requires you and your teammates to create a vaccine following a worldwide pandemic, to the Egyptian Tomb room that will lead you to retrace an archaeologist’s steps after he mysteriously went missing, you and your teammates will need to unravel a series of interwoven clues to ensure you’ll be able to escape within the hour and retain bragging rights. Your coworkers can carry these lessons back to the workplace, helping them rediscover their commitment to the team.
Family Relationships
Often, maintaining open lines of communication with your parents, spouse, or children can be a challenge in today’s fast-paced lifestyle. By putting the smartphones and tablets aside and spending a full hour exchanging information about potential Mafia bosses in Beyond the Flower Shop or cracking nuclear codes to save the world in War Games, you and up to 11 of your family members can reconnect and enjoy each other’s company while solving a mystery together.
Regardless the composition of your group, EscapeWorks Denver can help you enhance your interpersonal communication skills while flexing your mental muscles and even providing some comic relief at times. The 60 minutes (or hopefully less) you and your group will spend inside the escape room can be an invaluable investment in future family or workplace harmony.
