A fast-paced VR and tactile escape room challenge to test team communication, problem-solving, and decision-making under pressure.

About this event

Looking for a high-energy away day for your team, or a hands-on way to preview an immersive team-building platform for your organisation or student cohorts?

The Train Challenge by Teams Glued is a 2-hour experiential event designed to test and develop real-world team dynamics. Whether you're bringing a small team for an out-of-office challenge or attending as an HR or curriculum lead looking to test-drive the format, you’ll experience how live pressure reveals communication habits, builds trust, and drives collaboration.

What is The Train Challenge?

It is a multi-layered, interactive escape challenge where teams of 3 to 4 work together against the clock:

Virtual Reality immersion: One team member steps into VR to navigate virtual train carriages, operate interactive control panels, and report visual clues to the room.

Tactile physical clues: The rest of the team remains in the real world, decoding physical blueprints, route maps, departure timetables, and ticket data.

High-Pressure Collaboration: Neither side has the full picture. Success depends entirely on clear verbal communication, active listening, and rapid strategy adjustments.

What you will get out of the event

Real-world team dynamics: Experience how your team actually communicates, delegates, and solves complex problems when the clock is ticking.

Sharper communication: Identify communication bottlenecks and assumptions that slow down execution in day-to-day work.

Friendly competition & prizes: Compete against other teams for the top spot– the winning team takes home a bottle of fizz or chocolates each!

Low-pressure networking: Attending solo or as a duo? We’ll pair you up into teams of 3–4 with other local business professionals.

Hands-on technologyexperience: See how Virtual Reality can be seamlessly combined with physical problem-solving to create memorable, engaging team events.
