At Holmes & Davidson, we believe that teamwork is at the heart of our success. To celebrate our hard work and strengthen our bonds, we decided to put our teamwork to the ultimate test back in October with an adventurous evening at Exit Strategy, one of the most thrilling escape room experiences. The mission: break out of a high-security prison within the given time frame. The reward: not just bragging rights, but a well-earned feast at Just Pizza & Pasta.
The Challenge: Breaking Out of Prison
As we stepped into the escape room, the scene could rival that of a blockbuster movie: steel bars, flickering lights, and the distant echo of alarms. Two of our team members found themselves handcuffed to the cell, unable to move more than a step until they were set free, adding an immediate layer of urgency to our mission. The rest of us exchanged nervous but excited glances, ready to channel our problem-solving skills into breaking out of this fictitious prison.
The clues were challenging, and the puzzles demanded every ounce of collaboration. From decoding hidden messages to solving intricate mechanical challenges, the escape room tested our communication and creativity to the limit. Laughter, shouts of triumph, and moments of intense concentration filled the room as we worked against the clock to release our handcuffed teammates and press forward. In the final minutes, with tension high and adrenaline pumping, we solved the last clue and made our daring escape.
Result? A successful breakout with only 8 minutes to spare! The room erupted in cheers, high-fives, and relieved smiles. It was an exhilarating feeling to know that we conquered the challenge together, each member contributing their unique strengths to the victory.
The Reward: Pizza at Just Pizza Pasta
With our mission accomplished, it was time to reward ourselves. We headed over to Just Pizza & Pasta, a local favorite known for its warm atmosphere and mouth watering food. The team eagerly gathered around a table filled with an array of pizzas, each more tempting than the last. Between bites of cheesy, perfectly baked slices and sips of refreshing drinks, stories of the escape room were relived and laughter rolled on.
It was more than just a meal; it was a celebration of camaraderie. From discussing the trickiest clues to sharing the funniest moments of the night, the experience left everyone in high spirits.
Reflecting on the Night
The outing was more than just an exercise in team-building; it was a reminder of why we work so well together. The Holmes & Davidson team isn’t just a group of colleagues; we’re a unit that supports and grows with each other, whether tackling a business challenge or escaping from a make-believe prison.
We returned to work with stronger bonds, energized spirits, and a shared story that will undoubtedly make its way into conversations for weeks to come.
