Houston – NRG

Team Building at Escape The Room

THERE is no “I” in team, but there is in Dinosaur! As in dinosaurs we were trying to escape!

The whole NRG team visited the Escape The Room Jurassic Quest for our quarterly team building excursion. It was an adventure of Jurassic proportions!

Upon arriving a rather pleasant employee explained she would be overseeing our escape and ushered into a room. As the large steal door closed behind us you could hear the screeching of the velociraptors in the nearby cages waiting for their opportunity to have us a mid-day snack.

What was the first thing we noticed in the room? Dino Poo! What was the first thing we did with the dino poo? PICK IT UP AND PASS IT AROUND!!! We were off to a great start…

Puzzles led to puzzles, and clues led to dead ends. As we ventured into three different rooms of challenges. We became versed in laser guns, thermal technology, and DNA scanners. At one point we were at a computer terminal where I am almost positive someone typed “conf t.”

Then we scanned the last egg, adjusted the temperature on the boiling beakers of green bubbles, connected the jumper cables to the tape player, and heard a loud click. The door was ajar. We had escaped.

It was the most memorable team building exercise. Our team members got to shine in ways we don’t always get to at work and see each other’s skills without a tool bag and a Lan-Scaper. If I was ever to be locked in a room full of dinosaurs again, I would want them by my side!
