Perfect for team building away days and strengthening communication and trust between colleagues
‘Boxed In – Think In’ is the unique and breathtaking new escape room concept that has just launched at Abu Dhabi Mall. Designed to test your brain cells in a whole new range of wonderful and imaginative ways, teams must seamlessly work together and cooperate to be in with a chance of beating all 80 slick and clever puzzles and challenges.
For this reason, it is the ideal team building adventure for every kind of business, and ‘Boxed In – Think in’ wants to welcome workforces from corporations of all sizes to visit and experience its quirky puzzles and testing challenges.
At first, this one-of-a-kind experience simply looks like 12 tightly locked black boxes. Colleagues or teammates are then implored to look a little closer to find the subtle hidden riddle or clever mechanism that will help them unlock the first padlock, and reveal the fantastic labyrinth of puzzles that lies within each one.
Containing between four to six different puzzles in each box, all team members, whether they are skilled with numbers, thinking logically, seeing the wider picture or being creative, will play a key part in completing this enrapturing journey. Indeed, this is not a task for one individual. Such is the range of different brain-twisting challenges, it requires the skill sets and minds of every team member in order for it to be completed successfully.
For instance, the answer to two questions about mountains will unlock one padlock, while another hidden code will be revealed only by arranging a series of mirrors in the correct order. Teams will rely on each other’s feedback and ideas as they move through each testing and totally engaging with each box, while the triumphant feeling of unlocking each lock together is totally unforgettable.
Proven to be a great way of helping employees to bond, communicate, relax, unwind, have fun and appreciate one another’s skills, workforces are welcome to come and enjoy this ground-breaking concept at Abu Dhabi Mall on any day of the week.
Alternatively, one or several of the boxes can also be hired and delivered straight to any office or workplace across the UAE. This makes it quick and easy for teams to try the puzzles at a time that suits them throughout the working day. Suitable for up to 10 teams of two to five colleagues, participants must channel all their concentration and skills to race against each other and complete as many tricky boxes as possible in one hour. Or, for a more comprehensive experience, teams can enjoy unlimited time to attempt all 12 boxes.
Marwan Shazali, CEO of Boxed-In Abu Dhabi, said: “With ‘Boxed In – Think In’ we challenge colleagues to ‘think inside the box’ for a change and come together to view things from a new and unexpected perspective. Boxed-In really is the most perfect team building activity. It’s exciting, innovative and most importantly it encourages colleagues to talk and create special memories together. After all, teamwork is the backbone of any company, and our new activity fits directly with the UAE government’s ambitions of keeping the working community happy and engaged.
“In fact, team building has been proven to bring countless benefits to businesses. This includes increased productivity levels, enhanced communication skills and improved morale. It can also help individuals gain more confidence, discover their strengths and weaknesses, and develop leadership skills, while teams as a whole will be inspired to think more creatively, trust each other and collaborate. We can’t wait to welcome businesses from every kind of industry to come and have a go at ‘Boxed In – Think In’ or take it away with them to attempt in their own environments.”
