Our story
Working together, creativity, closeness to nature
The story of Nature Escape started in 2016, when a group of physical education instructor students started their studies at Vierumäki. The studies started with a project, in which the group was challenged to innovate and create new activities for Vierumäki. The group was mentored by students of third year studies. During the project the group innovated many of the activities found today in Nature Escape's selection; The nature escape game, floating and Human Foosball. Later during the studies our company's first manager Jesse Myllylä assembled a group of students that were interested in entrepeneurship, and in Spring 2018 we officially founded Nature Escape with five shareholders. Our business was the first limited company to be founded in Vierumäki during studies, which is an achievement we are very proud of.
After founding the company we continued the business alongside of our studies and started working together with Vierumäki to organize events for Vierumäki's business clients. During the first year we also started building the first escape room, and the game was opened for business in 2019. During this time we learned a lot about entrepeneurship and we were involved in many wonderful events in Vierumäki, such as DNA-days, Haaga-Helia's recreation days and PE-teachers' seminar. Most of us did school projects to further develop the company.
After graduating in December 2019, three of us shareholders started working full time with the company. However, the global pandemic struck and we had to adapt to an unexpected situation. During the quiet months, we focused on developing company guidelines and services while waiting for better times, and we ended up spending a lot of time building new nature escape games. In a sense we were quite lucky, since the lockdown did not last long, and soon we started organizing events for small groups. In 2020 we started working together with many of our wonderful partners, including Pajulahti, Varala and Vaihmalan Hovi. With the help from our partners we were able to expand our operations and organize events for more people. During this time the events were organized by the original founders, and we also got help from a few additional instructors.
2022 was a year of development and big changes. Through the continued partnerships we got to organize events in a completely different ways. We were joined by six wonderful new instructors, which means our capable team holds a total of 12 instructors. During 2022 the major role of a manager was granted to a new owner, Iida Keisu, who is one of the original founders.
For the year 2023 we aim for high quality service and marketing, continuing of partnerships and new experiences and events. We will continue to work on the quality and quantity of our services for both our clients and partners.
We want to thank each and every one of our partners and clients for allowing us to organize memorable experiences. Thank you, dear reader, for also being a part of our story. We hope you join us in the next nature experience!

Vastaan Nature Escapen operatiivisesta toiminnasta ja ohjaan elämyksiä erityisesti Pirkanmaalla. Minusta on mukavaa tavata monenlaisia ihmisiä ja nautin ulkoilmassa työskentelystä! Pidän myös käsitöistä, joten vastaan pääasiassa uusien pakopelien rakentamisesta.
