TEENAGERS:
Since teenagers are alot more tricky to keep entertained here are my top three picks:
12) Adventure Rooms Qatar
Adventure Rooms Qatar is an escape room game where a group of participants must solve a series of puzzles and find the final key so they can get their freedom and escape in 60 minutes. Puzzles will enhance logic, critical thinking, time management, ability to work under pressure, communication and team building skills. Adventure Rooms is very thrilling, but not dangerous. It contains no horror elements, requires no physical exertion and one only needs to search for clues and codes by thinking outside the box.
They are affiliated to some discount providers like @Urban Point, @The Entertainergcc and @My Book Qatar.
