Team Escapes
End-of-year parties

Office Christmas parties in an escape room

Swap the long lunch for an hour of teamwork, then carry the stories on to dinner.

In short: An Escape This escape room works as an office Christmas party on its own or as the first stop of the night: up to 60 people in matched rooms, or up to 100 with the whole venue, in Perth, Sydney and Melbourne.

Why it works

A Christmas party people actually talk about

An escape room gives the end-of-year party a shared story before anyone has had a drink: the team that cracked the vault, the manager who missed the obvious clue, the intern who saved everyone. It also gives quieter staff something to do other than stand at a bar.

Every Escape This venue sits in a city entertainment district, so the room makes a natural first stop before dinner, drinks or a roaming party.

Planning

Book December early, or go off-peak

Escape This describes the festive season as its busiest time for event bookings, so lock in December dates as early as you can. Monday-to-Thursday dates are off-peak, with 20% off multi-room bookings and big savings on full venue hire.

Allow around 90 minutes from arrival to debrief. Big groups can be split across rooms with matched start times, or take over a whole venue with its own decorations and catering options.

FAQ

Christmas party questions

Is team building cheaper Monday to Thursday?

Yes. Monday to Thursday is off-peak at Escape This: multi-room bookings are 20% off, and hiring a whole venue off-peak saves up to $4,000 compared with the rest of the week.

Can the team have a few drinks before the game?

Save them for afterwards. Escape This's safety rules say anyone under the influence will not be allowed to play, so schedule the room first and the bar second — which also gives the evening its first round of stories.

Can Escape This cater our team event?

Catering options are available when you hire a whole Escape This venue. For multi-room bookings, Escape This partners with nearby restaurants and bars for food and drinks before or after the game — ask the bookings team for details when you enquire.

Is an escape room a good idea for the office Christmas party?

Yes — it gives the party a shared story early in the night and something for everyone to do, not just the people who enjoy a bar. Escape This can run matched rooms for up to 60 or open a whole venue for up to 100, and every venue is surrounded by places to carry on afterwards.

When should we book an Escape This Christmas party?

As early as possible. Escape This describes the end-of-year season as its busiest for event bookings, and Friday and Saturday dates in December go first. A Monday-to-Thursday date is easier to secure and attracts off-peak savings.
