Fun Activities during Rainy Days

Why let the rainy days stop you from having fun? When there are activities you can still enjoy indoors. Here are some suggestions for group activities you can try:

1. Music Lounge/ Videoke - Filipinos love to sing and eat and have a few drinks with friends and loved ones so this is definitely on top of my list of to dos. Nowadays there are a lot of decent music lounges which offer cheap group packages. Some of them are center stage, music21plaza, red box and a lot more. Just type a quick search in google and you'll surely find one near you. You might want to check on sites which offer vouchers for these places for a good deal.

2. Bar Hopping - If you're not into singing, then maybe you just want to chill out at one of the bars in manila, there are a lot I tell you. My friends and I usually go to Elbow Room at Ortigas or in Nations Grill at Scout Boromeo. Both places are not too crowded, with live bands playing and a reasonably priced menu. Again, google can help you find one that's near you and suits your taste.

3. Bowling - The picture below shows the first time I tried bowling. It's fun but expect some sore muscles the next day. There are also vouchers offered for this activity. You can find bowling alleys at SM North, Fairview and Mall of Asia as well as in Eastwood Libis.

4. Mystery Manila - If you're in for a little adventure you can try and solve mysteries at Mystery Manila. You can read more about this in my blog: http://lakwatserangbulakenya.blogspot.com/2014/07/mystery-manila.html

5. Laser Tag - If you want to get worked out a bit, then you should try Laser Tag with a bunch of friends. Just don't wear anything white or with light color if you don't want to get tagged pretty quickly.

6. Ice Skating - You should definitely try this at least once in your life. It's really intimidating how the kids can glide around effortlessly while you seem to get attached to the wall. But its a fun activity nonetheless.

7. Archery - I haven't got the chance to try this yet but I'd love to try it real soon with my friends. There's one in Mandaluyong and one in Ortigas. It's pretty pricey but I guess you can charge it to experience :)

If none of the activities mentioned above suits you, well just give in and play in the rain. When was the last time you played in the rain? Me? I think last year, I played tag with my sisters. even my grandmother joined us for a while (^_^)V

Mystery Manila

Are you a fan of Sherlock Holmes? Detective crime solving movies and puzzles? Then you should definitely try Mystery Manila.


1 room.. 1 mystery.. 1 hour.. 1 way out.. Can you solve it?

Yeah, no I'm not gonna spoil anything. If you want to enjoy the game.. DON'T CHEAT!!!

Mystery Manila is located at Eastwood, Libis near Acropolis.

There are currently 3 themed rooms (3 mysteries to solve).
1. Justice for Jamila
2. Ticking Time Bomb
3. The Chained Chamber

Minimum of 2 (PHP550) and maximum of 5 (PHP400) can play per session per mystery.

The game lasts for 1 hour at maximum depending on how fast you can solve it.

Basically, you will be trapped inside a room and you have to solve a puzzle in order to get out.

We tried the Chained Chamber and we really enjoyed it. Nope I'm still not telling you anything.

This is us before we entered the room. :)







This is us after. Fooling around a little XD

While the other team tried Justice for Jamila

The Ticking Time Bomb looks promising as well but you'd have to go outside for this mystery which is quite troublesome specially when it's raining.

It feels good to be able to solve the mystery. But it feels even better if you get something out of it. If you solve the mystery within 30minutes you'll get a shirt. If you solve it within 40minutes you'll get a pen. If you solve it within 50minutes you'll get stickers. You'll only get one out of 3 :)

We solved ours in 37minutes so we get to have these pens :)

It was a fun filled experience overall and I hope to try the other rooms in the future as well.

Thank you Mystery Manila for the discount coupons! And thanks to our sponsors for the team building budget as well ;p
