Ditch the awkward holiday party this year. Here are 6 reasons why an escape room makes the perfect venue for your company celebration.

6 Reasons to Host Your Office Holiday Party at an Escape Room

The holiday season is fast approaching, and that means one thing for office managers and HR teams everywhere: planning the annual holiday party. But this year, why not skip the same old routine and give your team an experience they'll actually remember?

Holiday Office Party at Escape Experience

Here are 6 reasons why Escape Experience is the perfect venue for your office holiday gathering:

1. Virtual & Remote Options for Everyone

Virtual escape room options

Got team members working from home? No problem! Our virtual escape room experiences let your distributed team participate from anywhere in the world. Everyone can join the fun, whether they're in the office, at home, or across the country. It's the perfect solution for hybrid and fully remote teams.

2. Create Memorable "Water Cooler" Stories

Water cooler stories

Forget small talk about the weather. After an escape room adventure, your team will have epic tales to share for months. "Remember when Sarah cracked that impossible code?" or "I can't believe we escaped with only 30 seconds left!" These shared memories become the stories your team tells again and again.

3. Natural Social Mixing Across Departments

Social mixing at escape rooms

In an escape room, job titles don't matter. The CEO works alongside the new intern. Marketing collaborates with Engineering. The immersive environment naturally breaks down workplace hierarchies and silos, creating authentic connections between people who might never interact otherwise.

4. Ice-Breaking Without the Awkwardness

No awkward moments

Let's be honest: traditional office parties can be awkward. Standing around making small talk while holding a paper plate isn't exactly thrilling. In an escape room, there's no time for awkwardness! The high-stakes scenario and shared mission give everyone a natural purpose and keep conversations flowing organically.

5. Professional Photos & Lasting Memories

Making memories

We capture team photos during gameplay and take group victory pictures after your adventure. These photos make great additions to the office wall, company newsletters, or social media. Your team leaves with tangible reminders of the fun they had together.

6. Truly Inclusive Entertainment

Inclusive entertainment

Unlike bowling, laser tag, or bar outings, escape rooms work for everyone. You don't need to be athletic, outgoing, or have any special knowledge. All ages and fitness levels can participate equally. Every person brings unique problem-solving skills to the team, making everyone feel valued and included.
