Albion's women's team players took part in a team building event.

Four teams of Albion players and staff competed against each other by tackling four different escape rooms: Pavilion Perplex, Modrophenia, Raver Quest and Loot the Lanes.

The Loot the Lanes team claimed first prize in a time of 54 minutes 32 seconds, needing only six clues to complete the task.

Captain Dani Bowman said, “It was a good laugh, but very challenging at the same time.

“It helped us to develop our communication and listening skills, which we can use in football. It really tests your brain power, and it’s something which I would highly recommend to anyone.

“Personally, I was disappointed not to win as we got the suspect wrong! But it was great to have all the girls working together, as we all see things differently.”

The winning team.

Venue manager Rory Taylor, added, “It was fantastic to have a group of people join us who were already entrenched together as a team.

“Teamwork is something that’s really central to what we do at Pier Pressure, but we also wanted to give them fun and entertainment at the same time.

“Escape rooms like this can bring the team together, get them communicating better and relying on each other more. Hopefully they can put that in practice on the pitch.”
