What escape rooms taught me about product-market fit
Recently, I had the life-changing experience of being locked in an escape room for 60 minutes, and let me tell you, it was a masterclass in product-market fit. As I navigated the labyrinth of cryptic clues and questionable team dynamics, I realized that just like finding the right audience for a product, one must first identify the key pain points (or in this case, the hidden keys). The adrenaline rush of working under pressure mirrors the hustle of a startup trying to pivot while the clock ticks down! By the end, we not only escaped but also emerged with invaluable insights—like how teamwork can be both a blessing and a curse, much like a poorly aligned product roadmap!
This experience has elevated my perspective on business strategy to a new level. I mean, who needs formal education when you can solve puzzles with a group of strangers while sweating profusely? I can confidently say that my “team leadership skills” (a.k.a. yelling “check behind the bookshelf!”) have reached new heights. As I move forward in my career, I’ll carry these lessons with me, reminding myself that agility and adaptability are not just buzzwords—they're the keys to unlocking success in any market!
