Watch: our very own e-file emergency escape room

Sep 04, 2018

Payworks

Payworks created a new initiative this year to raise additional funds for our United Way Winnipeg Plane Pull Team. Director, Quality, Willie Malcolm, and Vice President, Development, Andrew Stevens, conjured Payworks’ very own E-File Emergency Escape Room. They extended the participation to the entire office for $50 team donations. Not only was this idea popular among the staff in Winnipeg, raising $700, but the idea took off as a United Way fundraising initiative. Other companies got wind of this super creative concept and they copied it!

In the end there were two teams that reigned supreme. The winner, winner of a Penman, Barb, and JP dinner were ‘Grandpa Pete and His Grandsons’ as well as Team Chloe.

To see footage from the teams in action, attempting to figure out the Escape Room, visit the Payworks YouTube Channel.
