Client Overview
Client: AstraZeneca
Business Type: Pharmaceutical Manufacturer
Location: Alderley Park Conference Centre
Group Size: 13 Participants
Event Type: Escape Room Puzzle Board Challenge & Bank Heist Table Top Escape Game
AstraZeneca approached us looking for a team reward activity that was fun, engaging and different from traditional corporate sessions. The experience needed to take place entirely indoors, fit within a tight time window, and offer something memorable for a small group who wanted to reconnect, laugh, and enjoy a shared challenge.
Event Requirements & Objectives:
The client wanted an activity that would:
-
Engage a small team fully and equally
-
Encourage collaboration, communication and problem-solving
-
Run smoothly within meeting-room facilities
-
Feel energising and different from typical corporate sessions
-
Bring teams together in a positive, playful environment
Our mobile escape room activities were an ideal match, combining hands-on puzzles with a relaxed, social atmosphere that supports morale and team bonding.
What We Delivered:
To create the perfect mix of challenge and fun, we delivered a two-part escape room experience:
-
8 Mobile Escape Room Puzzle Board Stations
Set up inside the conference centre, these puzzle boards required teamwork, attention to detail and logical thinking. Each station offered unique challenges designed to encourage communication and shared problem-solving.
-
3 Portable Table Top Escape Room Flight Cases
Set up in a dedicated meeting room, these immersive tabletop cases formed the Bank Heist Escape Game. Teams worked against the clock to crack codes, analyse clues and unlock the mission.
-
Multi-Team Competitive Format
Three teams competed head-to-head across both activities, creating a lively and engaging atmosphere. Teams rotated through stations, solving puzzles as they went.
-
Fully Facilitated Experience
Our event crew handled everything from setup, facilitation, timekeeping, and teardown, ensuring a seamless, professional experience from start to finish.
Event Atmosphere & Engagement:
The session created an energetic, collaborative atmosphere where every participant became actively involved. With the puzzles designed for small group interaction, no one was left waiting or sidelined. The competitive element added excitement, while the variety of puzzles kept the teams thinking creatively and working closely together.
This combination of challenge and camaraderie is why mobile escape room events are so effective for boosting morale and strengthening team relationships.
