Tipsy Tales: Where Filipino Folklore meets Alice in Wonderland

I'm a sucker for interactive experiences. I remember being so hooked to mystery games that I'd go almost every week! And when I found out that there's a new place in town that offers similar thrill, I had to know more about it. 

Hello, Tipsy Tales. 

Tipsy Tales is an innovative entertainment house that promises its guests an experience to remember. And it delivers way beyond what one could expect. 

Its fairy tale adventures last for 75 minutes and you don't just get to watch it but actually live in it and decide on how it ends. So be ready to be transported to a whole different world as soon as you step inside Lambana-- a Filipino folklore beautifully crafted by Tipsy Tales.

Archery 101: Arrowland by Gandiva

One thing I do not like about Manila is the lack of fun activities one can do in the city. Unlike other places like New York, Seoul and the like, we do not have parks, easily accessible mountains, or even spacious and well maintained zoos to spice things up and avoid mundane activities such as shopping and watching movies. Don’t get me wrong, I also enjoy shopping and catching the latest blockbuster but there are times when I crave for adventure or simply do something different. And I found the solution when I stumbled upon Gandiva in Ortigas. I had a blast firing arrow after arrow but I didn’t like the heavy price I had to pay for an hour of fun. Thankfully, Gandiva heard my prayers and created Arrowland.

Hello, Arrowland by Gandiva. 

I’m sure you’re wondering what makes this different from Gandiva. It’s also an archery place with pretty much the same set up as Gandiva which just happens to be located inside the always busy and packed SM Megamall. 

The venue alone already serves as a clue on what differentiates Arrowland from Gandiva. It made archery a lot more affordable and accessible to everyone interested to try being Katniss or Hawkeye by offering this action-packed activity in sachet-like packages.

[Activity Alert] The Zombie Room: Breakout @ Trinoma

I get super excited when I get to do or see something different. This is the reason why I was so hyper when I discovered Mystery Manila. I got so hooked after trying (to solve) Justice for Jamilla. I wanted more. I felt like I was possessed by Detective Conan. I just want to keep on solving mysteries! But it was hard to pull people to join me with my “quest” for justice and answers. (Okay, I have to calm down now.) It has been four months since my last staged adventure. I am not sure if it was fate or what but I saw something that made me so excited again.

Breakout Manila @ Trinoma!!!

I’m a big fan of the series, The Walking Dead and I sometimes imagine what I’ll do when a zombie apocalypse happens. Yes, you read my mind… I will get all the food I could get. Hunger scares me more than zombies. Okay, going back to the activity…

Breakout Manila, the other Saw-like company that made people so frustrated to escape the rooms they designed, is determined to make hearts go wild again this February 20 to March 22, 2015.

If you happen to hang out a lot in Trinoma, you might want to keep the blood pumping by being Rick, Daryl, Glenn, Maggie, Michonne, or Carol for 30 minutes.

The story is as follows:

It’s dark. You’ve been popping in and out of consciousness not knowing where you are… Then you discovered you are in a cage.

At least you’re alive… for now. [Then] You hear a growl. A sound you only hear in nightmares. You discover a zombie across the room.

You and your friends have 30 minutes to escape from not only the room but the flesh eating zombies as well. Can you breakout or will you become zombie bait?

Exciting right? This is one interesting activity to do with family, friends or your special someone!

See you there!
