People in Bacolod and travelers going to this city for Masskara will have a grander time this festival season because Funatix, the first Edutainment company in Iloilo, has come to our shores to bring fun, education and entertainment to greater heights.
Recently opened in SM City Bacolod, Funatix offers programs that create an interactive environment that allows each player immersed in the world of virtual reality. Its Laser Tag, Laser Maze and Escape Room will challenge your mental and physical ability through various events and modes as well as test your tactical configurations to achieve your goals.
I’ve always wanted to try airsoft or paintball. I even tried out for the Rifle Pistol Team when I was in college. (I made it in the first round but I deferred in pursuing the initiation process.)
We tried the Laser Tag game wherein we had to navigate around an indoor arena and we earn points per team color by tagging targets and opponents with a Phaser Gun. It was a thrilling game that involves executing the best techniques and strategies in both offense and defense. It was like stepping inside a computer game, with real people and real action! Right after the game, scores are generated live via an online server.
Players are briefed inside a small room before playing. The number of people who can play is limited to the number of vests available. If you have bags or stuff with you, you can leave them at the dressing area where you will be wearing your vests. Please note that climbing and running is prohibited inside the game area. Wear sturdy shoes so you don’t slip and don dark clothes so you can hide well.
It’s wonderful for team building and family bonding. At Php180, you get 20 minutes of fun laser tagging your opponents. So if you want to have some adventure indoors, head over to SM City Bacolod North Wing because Funatix is available in Bacolod from September to November 2016 only . If the reception among patrons is good, we hope that Funatix will be here to stay in the City of Smile.
