Why Shaky Grounds Cafe?
Shaky Grounds Cafe is a mobile escape room that offers more than just entertainment- it is an educational journey that equips your group with valuable lessons on emergency preparedness. Set one week after a major earthquake has impacted the Portland area, your team finds themselves in a race against time, scavenging through an abandoned cafe for the most precious preparedness item of all: coffee!
A variety of puzzles and challenges will teach your team practical insights on disaster readiness, such as using a fire extinguisher, shutting off a natural gas leak and how to store and treat water and so much more! These puzzles will enhance your team’s collaborative problem-solving skills, communication and team cohesion.
Invest in Your Employees’ Preparedness and Well-being
By choosing Shaky Grounds Cafe for your next meeting or event, you're not only providing an exciting experience but also investing in your team's preparedness and welfare. In times of crisis, employees who are well-prepared can return sooner to support the company's recovery efforts. Additionally, companies that prioritize their employees' personal welfare demonstrate social responsibility, which, in turn, boosts morale, trust, and retention. This commitment to your team's well-being also attracts like-minded professionals who value caring and supportive workplace culture.
