Thanks to Dextrophobia\u2019s creativity, Chaos, A1, and HPE had a unique online team-building event and Teach For Bulgaria added a charitable cause to the virtual bonding experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Over 70 employees of the three big tech companies participated in Dextrophobia\u2019s latest game &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/dextrophobiarooms.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong><em>Escape From Planet Earth<\/em><\/strong><\/a>. The virtual game presents a space quest in search of a new inhabitable planet (a new Earth) and a race against time with the bad guy &#8211; a rogue AI called the Hive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><strong>Check out the trailer here:<\/strong><\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube aligncenter wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Escape From Planet Earth - Team Building Game\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Qa0z5MuLTPI?feature=oembed&#038;enablejsapi=1&#038;origin=https:\/\/zaednovchas.bg\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p><em><em>\u201cThe game is a fun alternative to standard escape rooms.

The participants were divided into several teams and had the chance to unwind, solve interesting puzzles, and even though they didn\u2019t manage to beat the game, they raised over 3500 BGN for Teach For Bulgaria\u2019s mission and in support of Bulgarian education.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p><em><em>\u201cI have been to different escape rooms, including VR escape rooms, and now I can say that I\u2019ve been in an online one as well. Judging from my experience, I can say that every escape room brings something new.
