"You can discover more about a person in an hour of play than in a year of conversation." – Plato

Using Escape Room Experiences as a method of team building may be a relatively new concept, but the foundational principles underlying the idea are anything but new! The Pod Escape Room in Lansing, MI is a great choice. If you haven't already, ask yourself this question: "What would be the ideal environment for my team to grow, both tactically (skills) and socially (as a team)?" A 100% controlled environment? Check. Opportunity to fail with no real risk? Check. Simulated tension & stress? Check. Unexpected problems to stretch minds? Check. Teamwork-oriented tasks? Check. Objectives that force communication? Check. Cost & time effective? Check. A pleasant and even FUN atmosphere? Super check! What we're trying to say is Escape Rooms are perfect for team building! While having fun, you will be challenged, forced to shift your perspective, to communicate openly, to never be afraid to fail or get the wrong answer, to explore your creativity, and to find solutions to problems you weren't prepared for. It is raw creativity & team building at work right here in Lansing, MI.

What can I expect?

Capacity & Price

Three escape rooms, including Timejump in beta. Pricing can vary depending on group size, date, and time of day — team building is $23/person. Timejump beta pricing follows the day you play.

Reservation

You can expect to have our entire area reserved for just your group. No strangers allowed!

Time

It will be a race against time as you and your team will have 60 minutes to attempt your escape! Most groups will use all or close to all of their time. With 15 minutes beforehand for game prep and 15 minutes afterward for debrief, you can expect your entire experience with us to run around 90 minutes.

In the Game

When you first enter the escape game, you'll want to begin by exploring around to get acclimated to your surroundings. Pay attention and you will soon discover clues & puzzles all around you! Think you might get stuck? Most groups do. You will have 3 hints to work with to achieve the best time possible–or to just barely escape!

Guidance

Our awesome Gamemaster(s) will host your entire experience–from the moment you walk in the door to your last goodbye!
