The Floor is Lava
Teambuilding that respects your intelligence.
There are a lot of options that you can consider for doing something fun and/or vaguely work-related in order to let your group blow off some steam while appeasing corporate. I’m sure that you have looked at go-karts or trampoline places, or perhaps that indoor skydiving place that’s in Fashion Valley, and perhaps you can go visit them at some point; but there are three things that make The Puzzalarium the perfect choice to appease both your desire for something fun, and corporate’s desire for you to at least pretend that you’re spending their money in the name of boosting productivity:
You’re smart. Your team is smart. Right? Riiiiight? Nothing tests your wits harder than one of our immersions. Whether you’re trying to deduce the alliances of your friends in The Floor is Lava, or trying to solve an especially difficult puzzle in The Parlour, nothing else will work out your brain as much as your body as The Puzzalarium.
Go-karts is fun. It’s undeniable. Laser tag is thrilling. It definitely is. But when you get right down to it, they and pretty much everything else are all solo activities that you play alongside others, but not with others. Your success does not depend on your strong communication with the other 2-5 members of your team. It does not depend on you taking an idea from a friend, shaping it, and then returning it so you can all collaborate towards an answer. Both of our games are like that. The Parlour is impossible if you don’t do that. Every game of The Floor is Lava is effectively a lesson in what happens when you don’t listen to your teammates. Usually shouting is involved.
If you’ve done your research, you know there are other escape rooms in San Diego. There are tens of thousands in the US and millions worldwide. But we were the first escape rooms in SD and we are not part of a large chain. We care about what we do and we custom-build all of our games. The Floor is Lava is a San Diego exclusive because we are the ones who built it: no game even remotely similar to it is available anywhere else worldwide. Come experience the next step in real-world gaming. You cannot do so anywhere else.
