City Rooms

Skyping your friends can be a lot of fun, but if you’re doing it every single day surely you might run out of things to talk about. You can only talk about the 20 steps you took to the kitchen and back a few times before your friends will have an exact mental map of the layout of your home. So that being said, we’ve got some ideas for some fun time wasters, and you might l;earn something about your friends too. There’s loads of games that you can download apps for or needs your notes but these are all word games and mind games so you don’t need anything but your friends and the endless amount of time together.  You can start with the game ‘Two Truths, One Lie’. In this game you list three different things, one of them being a lie whilst the other two are truthful. The goal is for your friend to work out which one the lie was. Try to plan them out before you start listing them because it can get pretty obvious when all your brain could think of was that you broke your arm mee...

If the weather isn’t too bad you can go to Hampstead Heath to The Spaniard Inn, an iconic London pub dating back to the 1500’s. They have a walled beer garden,...

We all need to brush off the stress of work sometimes and relax, but sometimes that relaxation can become pretty competitive when you go out for a game and drinks with friends. A casual game of golf or football can quickly bring out the most competitive side of you and the people you're with, especially when the fight talk comes out, that’s when you start placing the bets on who’s getting the rounds in after. As much as it can get super competitive, you’ll always go back because it’s just too much fun. So here’s a few places you can go to win a few rounds in, if you’re feeling confident in yourself. Maybe pick one you know you're good at. Starting off with a classic, right from the decks of cruise ships in the early 20th century, we have shuffleboarding.

It’s not often that your plans are to be locked in a room with said family and friends for the evening. Escape Rooms are ideal for anyone who wants to have a thrilling evening, one that may even bond you just a little bit, as long as you keep your sanity. Escape the room games started off as a Japanese craze, but since then they have really spread far and wide, making its way to London!
