Core offering

Great Escape designs and delivers corporate team-building experiences and escape room events for Italian businesses. Originally a leisure escape room operator founded in 2015, the company pivoted to B2B in 2020 and now offers a structured three-level methodology (Exploration, Connection, Coaching) developed in partnership with HURACT, ranging from pure entertainment to analytical team coaching.

Product overview

Great Escape is a B2B team building and corporate events company that evolved from a network of 9 escape room locations (opened 2015-2017) to a specialized corporate events provider. The core offering consists of escape room experiences and customizable team building programs, supported by a partnership with HURACT (Swiss-based organizational psychology firm) that adds three levels of analytical depth: Level 0 (pure engagement), Level 1 (observation with guided reflection), and Level 2 (evolutionary coaching pathways). The product portfolio also includes specialized offerings for religious communities (Team Building Ecclesiastico), full corporate event organization, and corporate party services. All experiences are customized to client needs with gamification elements, and the company operates primarily in Northern Italy.
