Locked Case Escape
Solve the puzzles, crack the combinations and open the chest before the clock hits zero.
About
Locked Case Escape is a team building challenge built around escape room puzzles. Teams work against a limited time frame to unlock a series of cases hidden inside a locked metal chest.
It all begins with a mysterious video message in which a strange voice challenges the participants to a game. Each team is faced with its own metal chest, and inside is a series of locked cases, each holding a mystery to be unravelled. The atmosphere builds quickly as every team realises it is racing the same clock.
With the clock counting down, teams solve problems, crack combinations and unravel mysteries to move from one case to the next.
In the end, they must decipher a code and enter it into an electronic combination lock before time runs out. Can your team open the chest in time?
Learning outcomes
In Locked Case Escape, teamwork and a collaborative mindset are essential for success. Participants combine their different skills to solve problems and develop creative solutions.
The pressure is intense, and at times teams will doubt that they can succeed. A cool head, a logical approach and self-belief make all the difference.
Throughout the activity, teams learn to work efficiently and effectively within tight time limits, sharing out tasks and keeping track of every clue.
It is a truly collaborative exercise, because in the final stages teams must cooperate across the room, joining their clues together to uncover the correct code. That shared breakthrough shows how much more can be achieved when teams stop working in isolation and start pooling what they know.
