Introduction
Texas Panic Room offers a unique form of entertainment, featuring an escape room with clues to decipher. Teams of around 5 participants are locked in a room for an hour and are given hints to successfully escape. An operator facilitates the game and delivers hints over an intercom.
This report will primarily address the inconsistency between corporate expectations and the actual day-to-day operations of Panic Room’s Austin location. Overall, there is insufficient training for managers and a lack of written guidelines for game operators to follow.
Research and Findings
We gathered all of our data through interviews with the CEO, Robert Ma, and an on-site manager, Stefan Tsai. Tsai is currently responsible for running payroll, scheduling operators each week, communicating with the CFO, dealing with employee bonuses and customer complaints, polishing the game rooms, and keeping supplies stocked.
Through our interviews, we found that the greatest management-related issue at the Austin Panic Room is a misalignment between corporate

Ma informed us that miscommunication and misdirection has been a problem. When running a game, the operators are responsible for giving the participants their clues in any way they see fit, leading to inconsistencies in the game experience for each different group visiting the Austin Panic Room.
Recommendations
We recommend having written guidelines for operators to follow, scripts for administering clues, and direction on how to interact with customers. With that in place, operators can be expected to adhere to protocol, rather than Tsai’s direction. Additionally, on-site managers need more training, more specific job descriptions, and clarification of job responsibilities. We recognize that operators are client-facing and are most essential for day to day operations, so operators must feel well-supported, motivated, and confident in their
Fear a powerful emotion, once it is born it is merely impossible for it to perish. Fear corrupts, tortures, and haunts all. Humans have a horror encrypted into their core.

Patrick Lencioni is an American writer, who focuses on writing books particularly in relation to business and team management. He is best known for ‘The Five Dysfunctions of a Team’, an allegory following the journey of DecisionTech’s new CEO, Katheryn Peterson. In this tale, Lencioni revels the basics of teamwork by creating a fictional business, in which is struggling to grow as a company, due to lack of commitment by its employees. The company fails to accept responsibilities and to come to any agreements, ultimately, resulting a plummeting disposition. Furthermore, throughout the fable, the five dysfunctions of a team become more evident, in which are, absence of trust, fear of conflict, lack of commitment avoidance of accountability and
Other than this, we didn't really have any problems with the game or with our group members.

Mass hysteria is a phenomenon that transmits collective allusions of threats through a population in society as a result of rumors and fear. The Crucible by Arthur Miller accurately portrays mass hysteria that took place during the Salem witch trials of 1692. People were accused based on revenge or other malicious motives and to make the situation worse, nothing about the trials was logical. After a few people were accused, fear set into the town and everyone was viewed as a witch until proven innocent. Mass hysteria not only happened during the Salem witch trials, but right after the Twin Towers fell on September 11, 2001 as well. Mass hysteria ties into both the accusations made in The Crucible and the islamophobia that set in after 9/11.
The story begins abruptly, as we find our mock heroes out in the desert en route to the savvy resort of Las Vegas. The author uses a tense hitchhiker as a mode, or an excuse, for a flashback that exposes the plot.

“The worm of paranoia begins to eat into even the hardest adversary” said once by David Ignatius, a famous novelist (“Paranoia”). According to David, fear spreads into even the most calm and stable people in certain situations. Paranoia takes over the town of Salem in the 1600s, due to the rumor that witchcraft has infected their community. In The Crucible, written by Arthur Miller, the characters face a struggle against their own morals and also the greed of others, resulting in false accusations, death, and selfishness.

Moral Panic Moral panic is a widely used and often misinterpreted concept in social sciences. The term was invented by the British sociologist Stanley Cohen the late sixties. Cohen defined moral panic as a form of collective behaviour during which: "A condition, episode, person or group emerges to become defined as a threat to societal values and interests; its nature is presented in a stylised and stereotypical fashion by the mass media; the moral barricades are manned by editors, bishops, politicians and other right thinking people; socially accredited experts pronounce their diagnosis and solutions; ways of coping are evolved or (more often) resorted to; the condition then disappears,
Culture of Fear, by Frank Furedi, is a book that looks at how widespread fear impacts Western cultures like the United States and Great Britain. Frank Furedi believed that society tends to panic too much, as we actually enjoy "an unprecedented level of safety." I admit that Frank Furedi's novel is based upon a novel concept, and an interesting one at that. However, Frank Furedi comes off to me as little more than a fear monger and an intellectual elitist. His book, to me, seems redundant more often than not. But sometimes part of college is learning about points of view that you may not agree with, so I tried to maintain that perspective when I read the book.
