The Case for Team Building and Escape Rooms

Escape rooms are a popular team building activity in Melbourne. They are a fun and engaging way to strengthen the bonds among team members. In an escape room like Trapt, participants are locked in a themed room and must solve puzzles and riddles to escape before time runs out. This activity requires teamwork, communication, problem-solving, and creativity. All of which are essential skills for any team to succeed.

 

Fun & Immersive

One of the main benefits of escape rooms for team building is that they provide a fun and immersive experience that can help team members to bond and build trust. When team members are working together to solve puzzles and escape the room, they are forced to rely on each other and communicate effectively in order to succeed. This can help to build strong relationships among team members and foster a sense of teamwork and camaraderie.

Develop Problem-Solving and Communication Skills

Escape rooms can also help to improve problem-solving and communication skills. Participants must think creatively and work together to come up with solutions to the puzzles and challenges that they face. This can help to improve communication and collaboration among team members and encourage them to think outside the box.

Teamwork

In addition to improving teamwork and communication, escape rooms can also be an excellent way to boost morale and boost motivation among team members. The sense of accomplishment and achievement that comes from successfully escaping an escape room can be a powerful motivator, and it can help to foster a positive and productive team dynamic.

Celebrate

On top of all this, at Trapt, your team can celebrate their successes and discuss all the magical moments of their experience in our bar where a range of drinks, alcoholic and non-alcoholic, so there’s something for your whole team!

The Wrap Up

Overall, escape rooms can be a fun and effective way to build teamwork and improve communication and problem-solving skills among team members. Whether you are looking to boost morale or simply want to have a fun and engaging activity to do with your team, escape rooms can be a great choice.

If you’re looking for fun dates ideas in Melbourne, we’ve got you sorted! Whether you meet through Tinder, Bumble, Hinge or at your local coffee shop or meet-cute, Melbourne has so much to offer for your next special date! From Date Nights or Day Trips, this list gives you the best chance of having a good time, or at least having a good story for Bad Dates of Melbourne.

 

Cinema

It’s a classic option but it’s a classic for a reason.  With all types of movies to suit all types of people, it’s easy to find something to fit a date in any stage of the relationship.  To make it even more interesting though Melbourne has such a great selection of interesting Cinemas to choose from with food and drink options and great atmospheres, places like Cinema Nova in Carlton, Westgarth Cinema Northcote and the Astor in St Kilda. If it’s summer there is always the ever-delightful Moonlight Cinema in the Botanic Gardens or Lido’s Rooftop Cinema in Hawthorn.

 

Escape Room

We love an escape room and what a great date they can make! Spend 50 minutes to an hour with just you and your date finding the solution to some great problem and (hopefully) gaining the thrill of victory! There are so many great options in Melbourne no matter what type of room you are looking for. From some super scary rooms like Its Nightmare or hackSAW at Rush to classic escapes like Gaol Break at Adventure Rooms Melbourne.  Our favourite option though would have to be Trapt Bar & Escape Rooms not only do we have a great selection of rooms such as The Wayward Wizard, Under the Big Top and Cave In but they also have a fully stocked cocktail bar with cocktails themed to the rooms to help calm the pre-date jitters and celebrate your victories!

Dinner

Does it get any more classic than taking your date out to dinner?  Melbourne is the food capital of Australia and has an amazing collection of restaurants from affordable Chinese restaurants in Chinatown to much more extravagant options such as Vue de Monde or something more intimate like Bistrot D’Orsay. There is something for every date in every stage of the relationship from the first time you have dinner together to the moment you propose.

 

Mini Golf

Super fun and super simple, something that you don’t need to be good at to enjoy.  Years ago it was the game you only played on the beachside family holiday when you were sick of the sand but it has recently taken off again with some super fun adult venues such as Holey Moley and Glowgolf popping up for your romantic evening needs.

 

Walk along the Yarra

If you’re looking for a budget date idea you could do a lot worse than a stroll on a spring day down the banks of the mighty Yarra.  It has some truly beautiful stretches many of which are included as part of the Captial City Trail and meander from the CBD down through Richmond, Hawthorn, Kew and Clifton Hill.

 

Luna Park

A classic carnival has always been a great date option and Luna Park has been delivering that for Melbourne since 1912. Luna Park has always had a great selection of rides and attractions for all types of people from the famous Scenic Railway to adrenaline-pumping thrill rides to sideshow attractions where you can win your date a gigantic stuffed toy there is something for every date.

 

Rollerblade along Marine Parade

When the weather is warm why wouldn’t you head along Marine Pde and if you want to make it a bit more exciting why not hire rollerblades?  With a collection of places that will hire out rollerblades and protective gear to you it makes for an entertaining afternoon whether you are just learning and can barely keep your feet or if you are zipping along backwards and jumping over park benches.

 

Mount Dandenong Observatory

It’s a bit of a drive but heading up to the lookouts on Mount Dandenong, particularly after the sun has gone down provides absolutely spectacular views.  With Melbourne and its vast array of lights lit up like a carpet below you there are few things quite as romantic.  On the way back you have a great opportunity to talk as well.

 

Grab a cocktail

Melbourne loves a cocktail and we have so many great venues to treat you to.  Check out our list of some of our favourites here.  Some of them have such romantic environments and wild cocktail lists there is something on it to provide the perfect date for any couple.

 

Coffee

If you are just starting out on your (potential) romantic adventure the best option would have to be to meet for a coffee.  Its quick but can be extended if you want and there are so many options that it is easy to find something that is close enough to both of you to make it very practical.  If you want a great coffee for you date, we have you covered as well, find some of our favourite places here.

 

Whatever you decide to do on your dates we wish you the best of luck in your future relationships, or you could simply take yourself.  Having a date with yourself can be an absolutely fantastic time, why should people looking for love have all the fun?
