Fun Challenges Await the Kids and Kids-at-Heart at Alviera's GoPlay

Summer is not over but if you don't have time to go to the beach, climb a mountain or just commune with nature, you can still have a fun-filled experience at Alviera's newest fun offering GoPlay!

Alviera recently launched GoPlay, a large play area for kids and kids-at-heart in Porac, Pampanga. If you love the fun and games in popular TV shows such as Takeshi's Castle, Wipeout and Gladiator then you will love experiencing the various games patterned after these shows.

GoPlay takes fun to a different level with bouncy inflatables, relay games, mental challenges and other wacky games that families and barkadas will love.

We got a glimpse of these games at the GoPlay Launch held at TGIFridays, Glorietta 3. There was the fun-looking zorb ball that makes it a challenge to stay upright but you'll surely be having fun while you're bouncing around.

We played several games during the launch and seeing how fun all of them were, and challenging too, we can't get enough of the fun that this new addition of activities will have in store for friends and families as well as work colleagues.

Here's a glimpse of what awaits participants.

REGULAR ACTIVITIES

• Wacky Infatable Challenge - Bounce, crawl, climb and conquer the course in less than 2 minutes.
• Breakout Philippine Escape Room Game - The country's premier escape room game! Form a team, find clues and escape before time runs out.
• The Drink Challenge - Slip and slide to get your bottled beverage's content on to a giant mug. Then run and tag your teammates during the relay. Finally, all of you must slip and slide back to your mug and sip the mug empty with straws.
• Binocular Basketball - Try making 3 successful lay-ups in 2 minutes while wearing a binocular helmet.
• Human Foosball - Exactly what it sounds like, with players stuck to a moving pole and tasked with scoring a goal.
• Agawan Base: Zorb Edition - Charge your way to the enemy's base in the ultimate roll-around costume. Roll, bounce and repeat, all while in a zorb ball.
• Explore the Unknown - Collect objects from different containers while blindfolded to win the prize. Nothing icky in there, right? Maybe.
• Dizzy Penalty Kick - Spin around and then make a dizzy attempt to score a penalty kick, with 4 other competitors around you.
• The Gladiator - Face off against an opponent on the pedestal platform while everything but the kitchen sink is thrown at you. First one to do 5 knockdowns wins!
• Sumo Relay - Race against time in sumo suits.
• Photo Mission - Here are 10 pictures for your team to replicate as accurately as possible. Submit them anytime you think you've got them perfect.
• Brain Games - Your team has got to put its head together for some mind exercises to solve puzzles and illusions.
• Communication Game - A team member must direct his mates to correctly arrange items on the floor except they're all blindfolded.
• Caterpillar Run - The team steps inside a circular tarpaulin track and must walk in unison as the track passes through their hands. Sounds simple but you have to do it within 3 minutes.

Getting excited yet? If you are, then you might be ready for more extreme challenges like these two.

EXTREME ACTIVITIES

• Buzzingo - An absurdly fun version of Bingo that will only be played 3 time during the day. It will not require points to participate but players will have to risk their tickets for Bingo cards. Winning will take you 1,000 tickets!
• Extreme Jack & Poy - Risk 5 tickets and try to win 6 consecutive battles in a contest that knows no age, skill, experience or gender. The winner takes all the tickets of the losers.

If you and your friends just want to have some fun while watching competitors going through their challenges then you can head on to several fun facilities.
