Escape rooms allow teams to work together to solve complicated puzzles with the ultimate goal of unlocking the door and escaping. \u00a0And there\u2019s a one-hour time limit \u2013 no more wondering if that guest speaker is going to let you out in time for your kid\u2019s soccer game.<\/span><\/p>\n<div style=\"clear: both;\"><\/div>\n<h3><span class=\"font-180609\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-55476\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thepuzzleparlour.com\/branson\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Web_IMG_5707-300x200-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" \/>Why it works<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span class=\"font-180609\">Taking your team out of the office to solve a puzzle that\u2019s not at all related to your company puts everyone on the same playing field. \u00a0No one has more experience, no one is better qualified, and this lets all team members \u2013 from the manager to the intern \u2013 have a valuable input to your team\u2019s purpose. \u00a0In addition, your team is on a one-hour time crunch, so not only do team members learn how to work together, but also how to meet deadlines together. And you\u2019ll learn how each member of your team handles stress (i.e., maybe we should leave Bob alone if things don\u2019t go well on a project), and you\u2019ll really see how each others\u2019 brains work.<\/span><\/p>\n<div style=\"clear: both;\"><\/div>\n<p><span class=\"alignnone font-180609\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-55475\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thepuzzleparlour.com\/branson\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/image005-300x225-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" \/>In addition to bolstering teamwork within your group, at The Puzzle Parlour\/The Exit Room, managers and team leaders have the option of seeing just how their team is doing from a high-level. \u00a0We give managers\/team leaders the option to watch your team work through the clues from our control room. You can even be their game master, helping them by giving clues and guidance (this is also a good way to tell if you\u2019re a micromanager\u2026 how long can you let them go without interfering?).<\/span><\/p>\n<div style=\"clear: both;\"><\/div>\n<h3><span class=\"font-180609\"><strong>How to Schedule<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span class=\"font-180609\">If you\u2019re ready to sign your team up for the best team building activity they\u2019ve ever done, email and let us know! \u00a0We\u2019ll get you set up and on your way to building the best team ever!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>The Puzzle Parlour in Branson, MO<br \/>\nbranson@thepuzzleparlour.com<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"We\u2019ve all been there.
