A mind-boggling, brain-twisting live team escape game that delights the mental muscles and makes for a brilliant Mother City memory.

The escape game is a fun and unique game designed for a small group of 3-5 people – which is groundbreaking as a team building activity. The team must work together for 60 minutes to solve a mountain of puzzle and mysteries in a tiny room, that will ultimately lead to escape.

However, they also cater to a different audience – from first-time kids to experienced outdoor climbers and everyone in between.

Play golf in a cave

Cave gold is an indoor 18-hole putt-putt course inside a man-made cave, with an assortment of tricky angles, uneven surfaces, steep hills and awkward obstacles. However, it shares its space with the Kids Scratch Patch Kids play area in the V&A Waterfront.

Visit the Labia
