On 19 September 2017, RSM, the sixth largest independent audit, tax and consulting network celebrated its sixth annual RSM World Day.

RSM World Day allows us to increase awareness of our international strength both within our teams and among our clients, prospects and communities.

The theme of RSM World Day 2017 is ‘Innovation Through Collaboration’.  RSM Malaysia organized a 1-day team-building session for its staff at the Escape Room.  Staff were split into teams and were required to go through various team-building challenges.  The most challenging activity of the day  is for the respective teams to make an escape from the locked room within a time frame.

Escape Room is a form of a puzzle simulation game where participants will be locked within a room with a specific scenario according to the respective themes i.e The Haunted House, The Cage, The Vampire, Alice in the Wonderland, etc. Together with their teammates, participants have to solve a series of puzzles and riddles using the elements found inside the room to attempt and escape within the given 45 minute time limit. This is an adventure that requires the participants to be innovative, creative and ‘think out of the box’ while having great fun.  Collaboration and communication among teammates are increased in order to work together to accomplish common goals.

The top five teams are required to show off their talent e.g. dancing, singing, cat walk, etc as a form of competition in order to defeat or surpass the rivals to emerge as the winning team.
