On Wednesday 8th February, the apt team headed out on a team building event and there was no better way to focus on team building than an escape room followed by lots of food (...and wine)!
The team chose to experience the brand new Trapped Escape Rooms located on Eastgate Street in Gloucester and their two themed escape rooms. If you’ve not heard of an escape room before, it is a physical adventure game where the players are locked in a room and need to solve puzzles and clues to escape, all while being up against the clock!
Trapped Escape Rooms in Gloucester which only opened on Wednesday 1st February 2017 were absolutely excellent and accommodating to our team building event. Upon arrival, we were given the all important safety briefing and the team was split up into teams of five to go head to head against each other...
So with the team split into Team Haunted Hotel & Team Prison Break we were sent to our rooms to escape. It was made all the more humorous with Team Prison Break having to fashion orange and striped jumpsuits!
Team Prison Break however, had the last laugh. The team managed to escape from their room with 30 minutes still on the clock making it to the top of the leader board completing the room in just 29:31 minutes! Meanwhile Team Haunted Hotel were still trapped, although they managed to escape (with quite a few clues) with one second to spare!
The experience that the teams had in each room were completely different, Team Prison Break were thrown into traditional jail cells while Team Haunted Hotel were stuck in a spooky hotel room. It was almost like having a ‘Big Brother’ in the room with the interactive screens as well as some other interactive surprises in the Haunted Hotel room including loud bangs on the walls...which made Sarah, Jess and Dawn all jump out of their skins!
Trapped Escape Rooms in Gloucester have done a fantastic job at bringing the global phenomenon to the local area and we are really looking forward to watching their business grow.
