Washington DC is home to some of the country’s most historic sites as well as the headquarters for many of our intelligence agencies. DC and the DMV area are also home to thousands of companies who support our military and intelligence apparatuses. The defense contractors producing hardware, software, think tanks and biotech companies are all locked in competition vying for the next government contract. With the defense budget making up north of 10% of US spending each year there are hundreds of billions of dollars on the table. If your team is going to beat out your competitors they’re going to have function at the highest level.

Spy Games is one of our most popular games for good reason. It begins with what appears to be a normal meeting and then the employees turn on the television. On the screen is a video message from their boss who’s been kidnapped by a criminal syndicate. Teams are assembled and your staff must work together to walk around DC and gather intel and free their boss. Then, mid-game, the teams are alerted to the presence of a mole. Rooting out the mole while continuing to progress towards the goal is a world class lesson in both strategy and trust.
According to the Harvard Business Review, employees in high-trust organizations have more energy, are more productive and collaborate better with their colleagues. Another recent study uses data to show that employee collaboration and engagement has a positive correlation with organizations innovating. This is why Spy Games is the perfect solution for team building in DC. Who would have thought that in order to increase productivity and win that government contract all you had to do was kidnap your boss?
Companies in every industry are all wildly different but they share a couple of things in common: 1. They require effective, well executed strategy to succeed in such a competitive space and 2. They all have offices. Our Office Escape game is the perfect indoor game for team building activities in any sort of inclement weather. Your teams work hard in your office everyday, but how hard is that office working for you? Why not give them something fun to do that gets them out from behind their desks and also increases productivity? And best of all, you can do while enjoying the finest of modern comforts: heated central air.
In this escape room style game employees are lured into what they believe to be a one hour seminar in a conference room only to learn that they’ve been trapped and must strategize collectively to escape. Once the clock has started the team must work together to solve dozens of puzzles to get themselves out of the conference room. With different puzzles requiring different skills, employees must communicate amongst themselves to learn each other’s strengths and weaknesses. This time-sensitive collaboration is sure to improve interoffice cooperation and increase productivity by revealing the hidden potential of every company’s greatest asset: human capital.
