From backyard barbeques to days at the beach and nights out partying, people across the country have had to put on hold or alter many favourite summer rituals this year amid the ongoing pandemic.

Many of us have also exhausted our arsenal of safe fun activities, and adults as well as kids are getting bored to say the least. To make matters worse, the threat of Covid-19 is still lurking around and has made our usual entertainment options sparse.

But we think there still might be one option that can take away all the gloominess and get your adrenaline pumping! All you have to do is head to Jumble; the UAE’s ultimate indoor adventure park is back open. The activities offered here are mentally and physically stimulating for youth and adults; as well as teens and tweens. And most importantly, it follows exceptional standards of health and safety to ensure you can have fun without any worry.

Your experience is safe

We like risks only in games; and Jumble understands that very well. Unlike theme parks, at Jumble you play within your team; which would be your friends or family only. That takes away a big chunk of the social distancing from other non-related guests. In addition to that there are separate entry and exit points for customers. To check if you are perfectly fit to play in a team you will be screened for fever. Wristbands, kiosks, lockers, and other rooms and other touch points are sanitised unfailingly throughout the day. Even each Jumble room is sanitised before you can use it. All you have to do is wear your mask and keep your distance from other teams - helpful stickers on the floor will keep reminding you of this.

The games feel very real

Think you have to solve just one challenge? No, Jumble has a wide selection of tests in one session. Behind each door, there are two to six rooms with astonishing challenges. You and your team will have to crack them using both mental and physical abilities. If by chance the challenge is too difficult or not as exciting, you can choose another room and try something completely different. There is hours and hours of fun challenges, one visit is never going to be enough!

Expect the unexpected here

It is like you are inside a video game; but everything is real! We are sure at some point in your life you have fantasised walking through sinister tunnels, calling the fire station to rescue you, or facing a sudden encounter with zombies. You can experience it all here. It will get you shrieking – not just for the shudders in the zombie room, but because you will be having the best time of your life. If horror is not something you fancy; there are enough mind-bending puzzles for the sherlocks as well. And don’t forget, it's all about your team effort.

You get your body working
