West (Waterloo) Company takes ‘Virtual’ to a new level

Last Monday West Company were the first in Dorset ACF to run a Virtual Escape Room night.

Cadets were put into teams and were given a scenario and software to find clues and solve problems in order to find out which character had stolen secret information in the Virtual game.

it has proved so popular with cadets and adults alike that they will be running another in the near future.

Company 2IC Capt Wheatley said: “Keeping the training fresh and exciting is a challenge but one we relish. Thinking of innovative ways to keep the Cadets involved, we came up with a different take on team working and it proved to be a real hit.”
