Escape rooms — themed, team-based adventures in which players work together to solve puzzles and get out before time expires — mirror workforce dynamics. They’re conceptual, changing, complex, and challenging. There never seems to be enough time to get everything done. And there is no playbook for success.
Escape rooms are known for boosting morale and problem solving, providing fun experiential learning! The problem is: they are expensive, take a lot of time, and play a limited amount of people. Not to mention that your area may not have a retail or pop-up escape room.
That’s why Jessica Stollings-Holder created Will Power™, an escape room in a box that teaches teams to think and act outside the box, driving critical performance outcomes, togetherness… and fun!
Using post cards, tape players, Instagram, and slang, teams take on the roles of the attorneys at Barnes, Barnes, Barnes & Smith to find the key to Hollywood legend Lalanna Valentino’s loot.
Each game unit plays 6-8 people, and Game Masters — provided by Jessica or trained within your company– make the experience just like being in a room (just without the claustrophobia)!
All perspectives are needed to accomplish the mission.
“I experienced Will Power™ first as a participant and then as a Game Master. What we observed in both settings was that success was in direct proportion to the generational perspectives of the players. In other words, the players all needed one another – Boomers, Gen Xers, Millennials, and Gen Z alike – in order to solve the common challenge before them. In addition to pooling their collective remembrances of pop culture, team members also brought unique approaches to problem-solving. Hands down, Will Power™ is a fun tool for engaging folks in a lively discussion of generational differences and point-of-view.”

Will Power™ simulates real world challenges and opportunities, empowering teams to play their way to performance. Built into the experience is reflection time and on-the-job application discussions.
