    VIRTUAL ESCAPE ROOMS:

    Key unlocking door

    Get ready to put teamwork to the test like never before in a race against time! Virtual escape rooms are the perfect opportunity to collaborate under pressure. This online team building activity involves social communication, problem-solving skills, and teamwork. Teams must work together to solve puzzles and overcome challenges to escape the room. Coworkers brainstorm together via video chat, honing their leadership and communication skills as they work collaboratively to make it out in time.

    Our premium virtual escape rooms are fully hosted events with moderators who work one-on-one with each small team. The game kicks off with the entire group before breaking into smaller teams (don’t worry, we handle the logistics) that race against each other to escape.

    Here’s what to expect:

    • Dedicated moderators guide the teams through the virtual team building activity so they don’t have to download attachments or open any files.
    • Diverse puzzles and themes ensure that every participant can contribute their unique perspective to the escape.
    • The ultimate team-building thrill when teams get the “aha” moment of figuring out a code together, and our moderators make sure all teams get the satisfaction of finishing the game!
    • To wrap it up, we all reconvene to announce the victorious team.

    Sign your team up for this immersive experience where teamwork and problem-solving take center stage! 🚀

    VIRTUAL MURDER MYSTERIES:

    Murder mystery crime scene

    Get into character and channel your inner investigator as you try to crack the case! Escapely virtual murder mysteries are immersive and interactive virtual team games in which participants aim to crack a crime by engaging with live suspects in character. Just like a regular murder mystery game, virtual murder mysteries involve unraveling a mystery using clues and teamwork. It’s also hilarious as teams try to guess what the suspects are going to say next.

    You might be amazed at how seriously your team embraces this virtual team-building challenge! Coworkers love the opportunity to play investigator and it’s a surefire way to get those competitive juices flowing.

    Here’s what to expect:

    • No need to worry about memorizing roles – our actors have that covered! Channel your inner investigator and grill suspects to gather evidence and clues.
    • Large groups are seamlessly divided into small teams that take turns interacting with each suspect. Collaborate to ask the right questions and piece together all the facts.
    • To win, a team must accumulate the most points by accurately deducing motives, alibis, lies, and, of course, identifying the killer!

    Give your team a virtual murder mystery – a thrilling experience that adds a dash of suspense to your team-building adventure – your team will thank you! 🕵️‍♂️🔍

    VIRTUAL TRIVIA:

    Virtual trivia

    Get ready to test your knowledge and have fun with your colleagues. You might be surprised to find the hidden knowledge your coworkers are hiding! Virtual trivia is a great way to learn more about your colleagues, gauge your team’s knowledge, and even help team members discover new things!

    Teams have a blast competing in a friendly way to answer as many rapid-fire questions as they can. Facing a tough question? Teams decide together whether to pass, adding a collaborative twist to the game. It’s not uncommon to hear teammates applauding each other or laughing at loud at the guesses and answers.

    Here’s what to expect for this remote team building activity:

    • A lively emcee will lick off the excitement as the entire group gets ready to spark the competition.
    • After breaking into smaller teams, dedicated quizmasters ask the teams a rapid-fire barrage of questions. They work together to answer as many as they can before time’s up!
    • After each round, everyone regroups for lively score updates, adding an extra dash of fun to the event.
    • Choose six themed rounds from our array of choices to give employees a chance to showcase the diverse knowledge they’ve accumulated over the years.

    Immerse your team in the joy of trivia, where camaraderie meets friendly competition, and everyone gets a chance to shine! 🏆🧠

      The ideal team size varies depending on the virtual team building activity. For optimal engagement in the virtual escape rooms, we recommend 7-10 members per team. For virtual murder mysteries, players can work in small groups of 4-12 members. We take great pride in the quality of our virtual team building activities and each group will be split into the optimal team size for the specific activity. If you wish, your team can even do team building ice breakers in the small groups before beginning the game!

      For companies looking for a little more than a virtual team building game, we can turn the event into a virtual happy hour with these add-on kit options:

      • Chocolate tasting
      • Wine tasting
      • Cocktail mixers
      • These can be done before the team building games for remote workers begin. They make a great warmup to a virtual team game, or work well on their own as a stand-alone bonding activity.
        If you’re looking for something shorter, we can add a quick virtual ice breaker to the team building exercise.

      Our moderators are tasked with providing a fully guided game from entry to exit. An energetic emcee kicks off the team building activity and each team has a dedicated moderator in case there are any questions or concerns throughout the event.

      Our virtual activities are built for large groups, accommodating up to 600 participants per session. For even larger groups, we’re delighted to craft custom packages. This may involve hiring and training additional staff, ensuring a seamless and enjoyable experience. Rest assured, we’re committed to creating the perfect virtual team building game for your team, regardless of size. Your satisfaction is our priority!

      The event duration usually fits into a typical workday depending on the activities curated for your team:

      • Virtual escape rooms: 1 hour.
      • Murder mysteries: 90 minutes.
      • Virtual trivia: 30-60 minutes.
      • You can consider adding a virtual happy hour with our add-on services for a longer experience.

      Absolutely! Escapely offers amazing in-person team building activities including city-wide adventures in certain markets and experiences that come to you, wherever you are. We also create small-group adventures perfect for virtual holiday parties, bringing friends, families, and coworkers together.
      Check out our in-person Amazing Escape Race. It is extremely popular with teams in all industries!

      All of our scenarios are wonderful and have a great puzzle variety – you can’t go wrong! Groups that have played them all usually have a different favorite. Puzzles are varied so that each scenario will have something for everyone. You can view a trailer of each one and choose the scenario that best first your company’s culture. All of our scenarios are completely suitable for work and do not contain anything scary or gory.

      Zoom is our preferred platform for virtual team building games, offering interactive features like screen annotation. While it’s optimal, we seamlessly adapt to your chosen platform—Webex, Teams, Google Meet, and more.

      For Zoom, participants can log into their virtual team building game through the app or join via the web without logging in. Other platforms may not require logins at all. Once in the video conference, no further logins or downloads are needed.

      We recommend a computer or tablet for optimal visibility. Keep a smartphone handy for internet searches.
      While the real teamwork happens verbally, having scratch paper is a handy addition.

      The bonding doesn’t stop! After the game, participants can continue socializing in our online game room.
      Discuss puzzles, share hints, and celebrate victories. We leave time after each activity for your team to chat and enjoy the camaraderie.

      Absolutely! Remote bonding is here to stay. Our virtual escape games and murder mysteries have proven so enjoyable that companies express a desire to continue even post-pandemic. The transition from social distancing to enduring virtual team building is happening!

      Virtually or in-person, the goal remains the same: foster lasting bonds through games and camaraderie.
      Our virtual team building activities, like escape games and murder mysteries, make the virtual environment fade away. Participants focus on connecting and collaborating, forgetting they’re not in the same room.

      Our most popular virtual team games include escape games, murder mysteries, and team trivia. They’re competitive and versatile, catering to groups of all sizes.

      Virtual team building is crucial for maintaining a strong company culture. Without traditional office interactions, teams can feel disconnected. Escapely’s virtual team building activities bring remote coworkers together, promoting collaboration and problem-solving.

      It varies based on group size. For small groups, we can turn around same-day events. Ideally, we prefer 1-2 weeks for groups under 100 and 2-4 weeks for groups of 100-300.
      Larger events or conferences with thousands require as much advance notice as possible to ensure a seamlessly coordinated virtual team building activity.
