Planning a team bonding activity can feel like trying to book a vacation for 20 people—with different comfort levels, attention spans, and tolerance for cheesy icebreakers. The good news? You don’t need trust falls or awkward roleplay games to get your team aligned.
For a fresh take on team bonding in Singapore, look no further than INMERS escape room—a horror-themed immersive experience unlike anything you’ve tried. With three venues across Singapore, live actors, 5D effects, and cinematic sets, INMERS doesn’t just bring your team together—it drags them into a story where they have to collaborate, think fast, and stay cool under pressure.
Here’s your full planning guide to a successful, memorable, and dare we say, fun team bonding session!
Why INMERS Is Perfect for Team Bonding
Let’s be honest. Most corporate team-building sessions feel like they were put together to check a box. But escape room team building at INMERS is different.
Instead of splitting into groups for trust circles or sitting through yet another team-building workshop, your group is dropped into an eerie, dimly lit room… with puzzles to solve, secrets to uncover, and very real-looking NPCs lurking nearby.
- Live actors (yes, they interact)
- Multi-sensory effects, from lights to moving walls
- Puzzle sequences that require real cooperation
- Storylines you’ll talk about for weeks after
Whether you’re a group of five or a department of 30, INMERS offers a uniquely interactive way to break silos, test teamwork, and inject some actual fun into team building.

Planning Your Team Event Step-by-Step
Here’s everything you need to know—no guesswork, no vague advice.
Step 1: Reach Out to INMERS Directly
There’s no automated booking system for this on the website. For corporate groups, the best (and only) way to reserve your spot is to contact INMERS directly. We respond quickly via email or social media, and we’re used to handling custom group requests.
Let us know:
- Your preferred location
- Number of participants
- Possible dates and times
- Whether you’d like rooms to run in parallel or back-to-back
This helps us recommend the right format for your team.
Step 2: Know Your Group Size
Each room typically supports 4 to 8 players. If your team is larger, INMERS can run multiple rooms side-by-side. For example:
- 15 players? Split across 2 rooms.
- 30 players? 3 rooms in parallel or staggered sessions.
- Up to 50? That’s possible too, depending on location and schedule.
Many teams prefer to mix departments so colleagues get to work with someone new. If you’re unsure how to divide everyone, we can help with suggestions.
Step 3: Choose the Right Game Style
Not everyone loves jump scares. Some prefer psychological tension or eerie mystery over loud frights.
Ask the team at INMERS for room options based on:
- Scare level (mild to intense)
- Puzzle difficulty
- Duration (usually around 90 minutes)
You’ll want something that fits your group’s vibe. And don’t worry, there are always staff nearby in case anyone feels too overwhelmed.
The Ideal Day Plan (With Wiggle Room)
Most teams build a 2-hour window for the whole session. Here’s a rough schedule:
1. Arrival and Briefing (10–15 mins)
Staff introduce the experience and explain safety rules.
2. Escape Game Begins (90 mins)
The door closes. Lights shift. It’s go time.
3. Group Debrief or Photos (10–15 mins)
Snap some team pics, laugh over your performance, and—if someone panicked in the corner—you’ll never let them forget it.
4. Optional Meal or Drinks
All locations are near eateries or cafes. You can keep the momentum going afterwards with food and drinks.
Prep Tips for Organisers
To keep things smooth and stress-free, share these tips ahead of time:
- Dress casually. Heels, tight skirts, and bulky bags don’t work here.
- Be early. Nothing kills the vibe like being rushed.
- Mix the teams. Don’t let cliques form. Random groupings = better bonding.
- Assign a few low-key roles. Someone to lead, someone to spot details, someone to handle time. It happens naturally, but a heads-up helps.
What Makes It Work So Well?
INMERS works because it forces people to rely on each other in real time. Unlike bowling or a buffet, it’s impossible to zone out.
Whether it’s problem-solving, communication, or keeping calm under pressure, your team will need to use actual skills that translate back to the workplace.
But here’s the bonus: it’s disguised as pure fun. No awkward pauses. No lectures. Just adrenaline and teamwork.
