Fun Team Building Activities for all ages in Wellington City Centre
The whole is greater than the sum of its parts.
Aristotle
Thats a great quote that is very relevant to planning your team building event in Wellington. But how do you go about getting your team to achieve that ?
How are you going to get your team to over perform rather than under perform ?
Good team building is what helps to shape the teams that end up being greater than the sum of their parts.
Why choose Escape Rooms for Team Building in Wellington ?
First you probably have to look at why you are putting together a team building event in the first place. Most businesses realise the benefits of having their workforce working together as a team. That might not be as straightforward as it seems.
Your employees will all have been recruited as individuals with relevant qualifications and skills that should make them useful additions to your team. That doesn’t necessarily guarantee that they will all be great team players.
You just have to look at any great sporting teams. The most successful teams arent necessarily the teams that are loaded with all the best players.
So how do you go about creating a winning team?
Many of your team can be great at their individual jobs without having to connect too much with other members of your team. That often means that they dont appreciate the value the work of other members of the team. They can very easily end up being very good at their jobs without seeing the bigger picture of what you are trying to achieve as an organisation.
How can escape Rooms Wellington help make your Wellington Team Building Event a success?
The first thing that we are going to do is take your team out of their office or workplace and put them into unfamiliar territory. We will split them into teams and give each team a task to perform that none of them have ever done before.
No previous knowledge will help them. Everything they need will be in their room. Google won’t help them nor will a zillion masters degrees in astro physics, chemistry or advanced computer engineering.
Common sense, logic and the ability to think outside of the box are all that are the most useful qualities in our team building activities.
What will help them will be good communication, good observational skills and great team work.
The task will be fun, challenging and involve them working as a team to achieve their goal.
Success will only be achvieved by completing a whole series of mini challenges . One thing that we are sure of is that no one individual will solve everything by themselves. The end goal will involve team work and without completing every link in the chain of events, the team will fail.
That means that every link in the chain is equally important. You can be sure that at the end of the escape game, everyone will have contributed something that was critical to the teams success.
The key lesson learned from a great team building event can often be that everything hinged everyone noticing some very small details. When everyone goes out realising that every contribution, no matter how small , led to the eventual success of the team , then that’s been a good day out of the office.

4 THINGS THAT MAKE OUR
WELLINGTON TEAM BUILDING EVENTS
EXTRA SPECIAL
1. We have run escape rooms in the UK for the last 7 years in Edinburgh and Belfast. We were one of the first escape room companies to open up in the UK and we have received over 850 “5 star” reviews between our 2 different venues on Tripadvisor.
You can be sure that , because we have plenty of experience , we realise how important it is to you to have successful team building Wellington days .
Although we are new to Wellington, we are extremely experienced at team building events, so you can count on us to get it just right.
2. We have a duplicate of our Operation Beehive room so 2 teams can go “head to head”.
Our “TEAM CHALLENGES” are legendary. This can add a bit of spice to any team building event. It also gives opposing teams plenty to chat about before and after the event. That can be as much a part of a team building experience as the event itself.
Check out our Operation Beehive room for team challenges. This would be suitable for 14ppl. If you have 15ppl or more , then we would split you into 3 or 4 groups and some other people could do either The Diamond Heist or our newest escape room , Quest for The Magic Wand.
3. Team Building events are easy to book at Escape Rooms Wellington.. We make it easy for you to book with us so we can simply pencil your group in without a deposit. You can confirm your numbers approximately 2 weeks in advance and pay in full around about a week before.
We realise that when you are organising things , it can be hard to get exact numbers in advance, so you will find us flexible and easy to work with.
4. The most common adjective in our Tripadvisor and Google reviews is the word “FUN”. We aim to make sure that your group has an enjoyable and memorable experience, so we promise to make your team building event fun and inclusive for everyone, whether they be 16 or 66..

Escape Rooms Wellington Team Building Experience .
hopefully it goes a bit like this
We came here last night as part of team building for work. The guy taking it was great! . The whole experience was excellent for conversation among the group afterwards - and of course the winning team will be exercising bragging rights for weeks to come.
We did 'Diamond Heist'. It was terrific fun - very cleverly thought through & totally absorbing. And you're not left floundering - you get clues to help you if you're stuck or going off in the wrong direction. A great team-building event for work colleagues, it would also be excellent for teenage birthday parties.
Had a brilliant time at escape rooms. 2 teams can go head to head solving the same escape!. Very good for team building. Went with work, great fun
I had seen a few of these types of games about Belfast previously and they seemed more of a 6th form project set up in a school. But the Escape Rooms are excellently put together and laid out. The rooms themselves are set up and decorated to great detail almost Crystal Maze level of detail. And the clues and puzzles set out are great fun and really make you think. You genuinely end up with a sense you accomplished something lol. Already planning our next team trip early next year.
We booked Escape Rooms Belfast for a staff day out. We split into two teams and competed against each other to see which team could escape first. Only one member of staff had any experience of Escape Rooms but all left on a high and said they would love to do it again. The room was challenging but with the odd helpful hint from the owner you will find the key and Escape. Great chance for staff to work as a team outside the office while having a bit of fun. We will definitely try to get another group visit when the new rooms are ready. Though some staff haven't even waited that long and have since booked visits with their families. Would happily recommend to anyone.
Had great fun with the office colleagues. Visited this as part of team building activity . Very unique concept . The room and the clues were all interconnected . Don't worry if you are stuck somewhere there are hints provided to get you through . Look up to every nook and corner of the room and you shall reach the final key to open the door . Enjoyed a lot !!

Absolutely fantastic and original, I would highly recommend to others!!! My team managed to escape before the 1hr time limit. It was great fun and we hope to book the escape rooms again as a Christmas treat for the office.
We went to the Escape Rooms as part of a Social event/team building exercise and we could not recommend highly enough. The rooms were well designed, with great puzzles and good clues. Everyone involved had such a laugh, and it brought our team closer. Would recommend if you are looking for something different and challenging or to just have a bit of fun. (However I would say it can be harder than you think)! Would definitely go back
Organised a night out with my work colleagues to the Escape Rooms and had a great time. We were met by Kylie and Steve who immediately set the scene for the 'Major Plot's Revenge' challenge we were about to undertake (along with our expert disguises we'd brought to get in the mood)! The Escape Room had a good mixture of simple and more complicated clues (along with hints and tips where needed) and we managed to escape with one minute to spare! Highly recommended.
An excellent hours entertainment, getting into the mind of a spy!! The staff are very friendly and gave a few helpful hints along the way. We are looking forward to a return visit for the Diamond Heist, maybe hire 2 rooms the next time to get a friendly competition going. Highly recommend this activity great for team building!!!
We took all 4 rooms as a team building session and we weren't exactly sure what to expect... Kylie was very welcoming, friendly and funny and had us all primed for a competitive afternoon! A mixture of frustration and elation, the satisfaction at completing each task was great. Definitely a worthwhile activity..
Espionage cold war spoof puzzle game for teams. Went with work colleagues and had great time. Good team building exercise or fun for family members. Highly recommended. Crystal maze meets John le Carre
Just returned from an amazing night at Escape Rooms. Group of 12 of us went for a work team building night and had the best time. It was 100 times better than what I thought. I would recommend this to everyone. Definitely going to book again with friends.
We came over for our friends hen weekend. I had done one game before in Paris. This was much much better. The game wasn't over complicated and there were some really funny moments. And we escaped!!! We had done our previous game for work team building. This game could be used for that , but really for any group looking for a bit of light Entertainment really. Its right beside all the best bars in Belfast too.
