Organizing an escape room for a large group is not always easy, as many locations have limited space. The Box Company offers escape experiences that are specially designed for large groups. Ideal for collaboration, excitement, and team building. In this blog, you will learn why an escape room is perfect for larger teams and how you can easily organize a successful group outing.

Why an escape room is perfect for groups of 10 or more

From about 10 participants onwards, a different dynamic emerges in a team. An escape room fits perfectly with this. During an escape room, participants must:

• Communicate under time pressure

• Trust each other

• Combine knowledge and talents

• Work together strategically

The Escape Room Experience from The Box Company is specially designed for this.

Teams of 5 to 7 people solve about 10 challenging tasks together to open 5 locks. With multiple teams at the same time, a combination of fun, competition, and intense collaboration arises. Exactly what a group outing or team building moment needs.

The activity is often used for groups of 10 people or more, but is also suitable for 20, 30, or even 100+ participants. Groups of up to 800 have done this, making it one of the most scalable escape experiences in the Netherlands.

The best escape rooms for 12, 20, or even 30 people

Many companies specifically look for an escape room for 10, 12, 15, 20, 30, or even larger groups. The Box Company offers just the solution for that.

Escape room for 10–12 people

Ideal for smaller teams that want to collaborate intensively. The Escape Room Experience works with teams of 5–7, so two teams play perfectly alongside each other.

Escape room for 15–20 people

In larger groups, you play with multiple boxes at the same time. Everyone participates, no one stands still, and teams become competitive automatically: who opens the locks the fastest?

Escape room for 25–30 people

With enough boxes, you play with three or four teams at the same time. The tasks are the same for everyone, which ensures a fair competition and a shared experience.

Escape room for large groups (50–800 people)

This is where The Box Company truly excels: scalability. Thanks to the modular game concept, the same experience can be played by dozens, hundreds, or even hundreds of participants at the same time.

Perfect for corporate outings, onboarding events, team days, conferences, or team building days.

Mobile escape rooms: excitement on location

Do you want to do an escape room but prefer not to go to an external location? Then a mobile escape room is the perfect solution. 

The Escape Room Experience can be played entirely on location and offers the same intensity and excitement as a physical escape room. This way, you do not have to travel with the whole group and create an activity that perfectly fits your event.

Tips for organizing a group outing with an escape element

Organizing an escape room for large groups is easier than you think, especially if you follow these tips:

1. Determine the goal of the outing: Is it a fun moment, team building, onboarding, or a combination of all three?

2. Choose an escape room that is truly suitable for large groups: Not every provider can accommodate 20 or 30 people at the same time. The Box Company can scale up to hundreds of participants.

3. Consider an escape room on location: Mobile escape rooms save travel time and ensure that everyone gathers in a logical place.

4. Plan in advance: For larger groups, it is smart to book early, especially during busy periods.

5. Form teams in advance or let the guides do it: With teams of 5–7 people, the Escape Room Experience works best.
