Escape Room Workshop for IPO Student Ambassadors
An exciting escape room workshop were held on 12 June 2021 for IPO Student Ambassadors to build up their team spirit and communication skills. An escape room is a physical adventure game in which players are locked inside a pre-set scenario room and limited to use elements of the game to solve a series of puzzles and find clues to escape the room within a time limit.
All 17 participants were divided into groups of three to four for two rounds of games, followed by a sharing and debriefing session. There were a total of 5 scenario rooms with different themes that required participants to work together efficiently through communication and problem solving to get out as fast as possible.
All teams were able to find the clues together and escaped successfully in the end. Students found the workshop very fun and engaging to figure out solutions together. The atmosphere was positive in raising team spirit and stimulating critical thinking. We look forward to hosting more team building and gathering events in the future to strengthen the bonding of IPO Student Ambassadors.
