Teams are given instructions and rules, and the scene is set. The teams are then led handcuffed into the actual 1800s jail cells that are filled with furnishings. The door is locked and teams have an hour to unlock the door by uncovering clues. Games like these emphasize working together, communicating effectively, delegating tasks, and thinking creatively.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” overlay_strength=”0.3″][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ width=”1/2″ tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default”][vc_column_text]Baxter Group, Inc. is constantly developing and strengthening a positive culture of working together as a team.

BGI Radon Project Manager, Amanda Yeager, said “It was a great addition to our out of the office activities.”[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ width=”1/2″ tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default”][image_with_animation image_url=”4944″ alignment=”center” animation=”Fade In” box_shadow=”none” max_width=”100%”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” overlay_strength=”0.3″][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ width=”1/2″ tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default”][image_with_animation image_url=”4943″ alignment=”center” animation=”Fade In” box_shadow=”none” max_width=”100%”][divider line_type=”No Line”][image_with_animation image_url=”4945″ alignment=”center” animation=”Fade In” box_shadow=”none” max_width=”100%”][/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ width=”1/2″ tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default”][vc_column_text]They were split into teams. While one team was attempting to escape the jail, the other team ate pizza, and went on a tour of the jail that covered the history, taking them to the dungeon and gallows. Unfortunately, both BGI teams missed the cutoff time by mere minutes. One team missed it by only 3 minutes! Baxter Group Indoor Environmental Consultant, Jason Young, said “I got to see the other sides of my coworkers.” Darlene Wenger, the Baxter Group Office Assistant, said she would have never been able to do it herself, and BGI Office Manager, Miriam Vason, stated “It was a great team enhancing experience. I wouldn’t say building because we have a really good team already.”
They highly recommend going to the escape room. It’s perfect for team building, team enhancing, and just plain fun.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
