Out of the office and into adventure: our team day at ELORIA

Last week at Winweb, it was time to close our laptops and head to Bottrop! Around 40 colleagues visited the ELORIA Erlebnisfabrik, an event venue on the site of a former coal mine in the Ruhr region. It is home to EXPLORIA, Europe’s largest escape room. However, it has little in common with a traditional escape room: Instead of a single room, visitors can expect an entire world in the style of the 1920s.

In randomly assembled small groups, we competed against one another. The shared goal: to collect as many Reichsmarks as possible. Teamwork, creativity and, from time to time, a little ambition were called for. Because the groups were a diverse mix, colleagues who rarely interact in their day-to-day work suddenly found themselves on the same team. It was a great opportunity to get to know one another in a different way. And there were one or two surprising talents to discover.

We won’t reveal exactly what happened in the rooms. Photos weren’t allowed there anyway, and we don’t want to spoil the fun for anyone. After the competition, we rounded off the evening with a delicious buffet.

And who collected the most Reichsmarks in the end? We honored the winning teams today at our monthly Pizza Day: They received certificates, with a small prize for the team in first place. Congratulations!

A thoroughly successful team day with lots of fun and new groupings. That is exactly what makes great teamwork at Winweb.
