AmIT Escape Room Showdown
The importance of problem-solving skills can't be overstated. Every business and employee will face many challenges in their walk through life. The differentiating factor and key to success is the grit utilised to persevere and overcome them. At AmIT we are constantly developing our problem solving abilities from a daily sudoku challenge, to UI5 complications, to a layout change that shifts your entire Adobe form. Today however, we embarked on an exciting Team Bonding challenge at the Hint Hunt escape rooms at the V&A Watershed.
Two teams, two rooms, maximum difficulty. The AmIT Pirates take on their luck against the cursed treasure. To free the gold they must break the curse or be trapped forever. The AmIT Navy take on an enemy submarine. They must arm the torpedoes and secure the perimeter in order to escape to the surface alive. Which team will make it out? Who will be left behind?
...The AmIT Pirates take the win with 7 minutes to spare! They successfully broke the curse and took home the gold. The AmIT Navy unfortunately went down with the ship. Better luck next time.
As with any experience, there are always lessons to be learnt. Below are some key skillsets we used in our escape rooms ranked on importance. This follows Mark Rober's 10 proven tips to beat any escape room - find link below.
