Why is this the ultimate team building experience?

Besides being great fun and accessible to people of all ages, Hashtag Escape's adventures offer very real benefits when used as corporate team building events.
You'll probably be having too much fun to notice, but the time pressure and unknown challenges of our escape rooms compel individuals to work together as a team to escape in time.
Our challenges are specifically designed to be impossible for a single person to complete and multiple challenges can be attempted simultaneously - the players quickly identify the strengths and weaknesses of their fellow escapees to best conquer the numerous and diverse challenges presented in the environment.
The nature of the challenges also ensure that diversity in the team is a huge benefit. It is not uncommon for a player who started out as timid and unsure to solve a puzzle that stumped the rest of the team - the self confidence boost this provides the player is immeasurable and lasts for long after the hour is up.

Logistics

Currently our 4 rooms can accommodate 26 players per hour, and our Chambers can accommodate 24 players per hour.
For teams larger than 50 we recommend incorporating a lunch into your event and booking back to back slots so that the rest of the team is occupied while the current group makes their escape. This also allows for team discussion aftwerwards so that the players can identify how they overcame particular challenges. We recommend adding a trivia session for either the team waiting for their slot, or during the lunch to keep the team building experience flowing throughout the day.
We are happy to assist with planning the perfect event, so please get hold of us to discuss your specific requirements.

Stuff you need to know before booking and arriving!

  • Our premises are located at Bedford Square Shopping Centre, Van Der Linde Road, Bedfordview, Johannesburg.
  • The 4 game rooms have different themes and stories and accommodate 3-7 people each. The game is challenging and a larger team has a better chance of a successful escape!
  • If you have a group of more than 50 people we recommend booking multiple consecutive time slots. There are great restaurants, coffee shops and bars within walking distance so feel free to take a break while your friends make their escape.
  • The game lasts 1 hour exactly.
  • Please ensure you arrive about 10-15 minutes early as there is a short briefing and setup process. If you arrive late unfortunately your game time will need to be shortened so that next team can start on time – sorry!
  • Try not to arrive more than 30 minutes before as we will be busy with the previous groups.
  • Try wear comfortable clothing, you’ll just have more fun if you can move around freely.
  • The game is perfectly suitable for people of all ages although we recommend a minimum age of 7 years. Kids under the age of 12 must be accompanied by an adult.
  • Please note that once your booking is confirmed your game cannot be cancelled or refunded. A game may only be rescheduled provided notice is given at least 72 hours in advance and subject to an alternative timeslot being available.
