In the bottom left of the image is a circular photo of a young woman with shoulder-length hair, wearing a VR headset and behind. She is standing in the same dark room as the men. The selfie is framed by a dark blue circular border. We’d tested ourselves physically (Tees Barrage Air Trail); we’d tested ourselves mentally (Cluedini Hex Escape Room); so this time, we, the PASS Marketing team, decided to take on a more sedate team-building challenge. That’s why on the 26th June we headed to Gaming Hideaway in Thornaby for two hours of video and virtual-reality games. What could go wrong? Continue reading →

At the bottom left of the orange text is a black, cartoon witch flying on a broomstick. Having tackled the Marketing Team’s collective acrophobia, we decided that confronting our claustrophobia during peak cold and flu (and presumably Covid) season was the way to go with our second team-building experience. That’s why, before Christmas, we chose to take on Cluedini’s Hex escape room. We had just sixty minutes to solve the clues, crack padlocks, and find the crystals and spells needed to prevent a local witch from unleashing her curse on Yarm as revenge for her great-grandmother’s unlawful killing. The stakes were high! Continue reading →

Here’s what happened when Calibration went team-building. Continue reading →
