It is a nice way to have fun if you are looking for activities with friends. A person who’s celebrating a birthday often can get a discount.
A climbing wall is an artificially built vertical wall with hand holds and grips for feet that are screwed onto the wall. It usually has some curves that increase the difficulty of climbing. Nowadays most of them are made from plywood, but there are also wooden and brick walls (brick were the first ones to appear). For safety, the climbing person should wear a belt with the carbine through which the rope is stretched. The other person on the land has the same belt worn and ensures the support for the climbing one.
There’s Calgary Climbing Centre that is the huge climb park with different kinds of routes for beginners and professionals, for children and for adults.

1. Escape Room Games
When people get inside escape rooms, they feel themselves like heroes of the action movie who have to find their way to the exit through series of quests, puzzles, and challenges. The genres of the “movie” vary widely from the detective stories and explorations of ancient castles to prison breaks and heists in which you could even play the role of a criminal! Time is limited, so it is needed to make quick decisions, and participants should act cooperatively to reach the common goals. It is very fun and can even strengthen the relationship inside the group of friends.• The first real-life escape game was created in Japan in 2007 by Takao Kato who was inspired by the “escape the room” video games and decided to create an analog in real physical locations.
