Like most businesses, our weekly rota emails at The Great Escape Game tend to carry quite a bit of detail. Updates, notes, changes, reminders - it’s all in there. Useful, but not always the easiest thing to digest. So, as a bit of a test (and partly just to make sure people are actually reading them), we added a line at the end: “Reply with a picture of your pet.” Safe to say - it worked. We’ve had everything from dogs and cats to some slightly more unexpected additions. A few of our favourites are in the screenshot below. (Not pictured: Bentley’s tarantula.😅) It’s a small thing, but moments like this say a lot about a team. You can send all the information in the world - but it’s how people engage with it (and each other) that really makes the difference.
