Let’s be honest, no one really enjoys planning for outings. Chances are, you might have already looked through countless recommendations and reviews online, and you are probably immensely bored of the classic buffets or barbecue suggestions.
For those poor souls who are appointed to plan their next company’s or class’s gathering, we feel you. Here are some suggestions to, hopefully, make your life a little easier and satisfy the restless bunch while providing ample opportunities to break the ice and foster stronger bonds.
1. Trampoline Park
Trampoline Parks have been around Singapore for quite some time, and they are still very well-received. Known for increasing metabolism, relieving stress and other health benefits, a visit to one of these parks in town will result in a day of fun and laughter (and body aches too).
Did you know that an hour of jumping on a trampoline is almost equivalent to a three-hour run? Now, you know where to ‘boing’ off the fats from all the feasting.

2. Outdoor Laser Tag
Male or female, you are never too old to enjoy a game of laser tag. But there’s always spatial constraints and physical limitations with indoor arenas. And, because we are millennials who constantly have our eyes glued to electronic devices, we could really make do with some sun.
So, nothing quite screams thrill, fun and a right dose of sunshine with a game of outdoor laser tag.

3. Combat Archery Tag

It’s amazing how there are so many variations of tag games in Singapore. If you are tired of the aforementioned laser tag games, why not up the difficulty and summon your inner Katniss Everdeen (or Legolas Greenleaf) in a unique game of combat archery tag?
With special foam-tipped arrows, Combat Archery Tag combines different elements from various shooting games (paintball, dodgeball and archery), so if you enjoy any of those, you might want to check it out.

4. Dragon Boating

Combining challenge, leisure and fun — dragon boating is most certainly one of the best sports that fosters team bonding. Team coordination and communication are crucial elements to ensure victory. Old school it may seem, nothing beats the satisfaction of winning the race. Time to work those arm muscles!
