A: We have 4 different rooms and they run concurrently so we will split your group amongst the three rooms.

A: The game has been tested on people of all ages and they all loved it just as much!

Q: What if I can’t solve the puzzles? 
A: Your team will be monitored on a camera during the game and you will receive clues and hints to help you out if you struggle so don’t stress!

A: We have secure lockers for all your valuables to ensure you can focus on having a great time.

Q: I’m physically challenged – vision, hearing, mobility etc. Can I still do this? 
A: The game contains many challenges that rely on audio and vision so we advise that at least one of your players should not have hearing or visual difficulties. Space is somewhat confined and our premises are up a flight of stairs so people who rely on assistive devices such as wheelchairs may have difficulties. However, we would love to make a plan to make sure you have a great time so please email us or give us a call to discuss your specific needs.

Why is this the ultimate team builing 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.
Hashtag Escape is situated on Grant Avenue in Norwood and is a great area for lunch/dinner/drinks.
For teams larger than 26 we recommend incorporating we recommend adding a quiz session for either the team waiting for their slot, or during lunch to keep the team building experience flowing throughout the day. This also allows for team discussion aftwerwards so that the players can identify how they overcame particular challenges.
We are happy to assist with planning the perfect event, so please get hold of us to discuss your specific requirements.
