Despite an improvement in the COVID-19 situation, it is unlikely that leisure travel will resume anytime soon. While we might not be able to “escape” from our little red dot, escape rooms can provide us with a pretty good alternative.
Following MOM’s advisory on the easing of Safe Management Measures from 5 April 2021, up to 8 people from a company can attend recreational or social gatherings such as team bonding sessions.
With a plethora of storylines to choose from, best-suited for small team sizes, and entry fees typically between $20 to $50 per person, escape rooms can be a fun and reasonably affordable alternative to team bonding. Due to the high-pressure, time-constrained environment, escape rooms can also help to reveal the strengths and weaknesses in employees.
Here are 5 escape rooms that you can try out, that allows you to play with 8 team members.
