ESCAPE Penang

One of the itinerary during the recent company trip was a team building program at ESCAPE park.
This park is located quite nearby our hotel, just 5 minutes drive away.
We arrived quite early before it opens at 10.
After a short briefing by the program organiser, we headed in by checking-in using these facial recognition turnstile. Paperless and swift process.
As we were the first group of visitors (of the day), the place was quite empty, neat and clean.
while waiting for the place to officially open at 10, some people went to get ready with their sports attire, meanwhile yours truly loitered around the souvenir shop and snapped some pictures.
We were given option to either join the team building activities or free-and-easy. I choose the latter, coz the team building activities are too strenuous for my physical body....old liao... 
I would say many of those activities here are super 'challenging'....as in jumping from 5th floor to the ground....although with strings attached (to slow down the motion) it still looks scary to me once at the top. I somehow don't trust the strings.
The park has dry area and wet area (water activities/pools). The wet area only opens at noon.
Here's me and a colleague comparing our shoes...play matchy matchy coz the shoes were bought from the same shop!
After tried some 'challenges' (flying fox, balancing on rope etc etc), i was exhausted and looking forward to the lunch!
It was provided by the organiser FOC. In case these foods are not enuff, we can still buy from the A&W kiosk located in the park. There is only one miserable food option in this park....nothing else besides A&W.
i had Coney dog, fried chicken and a plain bottled water...
Can't eat much coz later at noon i wanted to go for the longest water slide in the world, hence tried to avoid bloated stomach.
the chili for the coney dog
Just like a kid, i look forward to play water...but not these kind of slides....this is too steep for me....
but instead i had 3 rounds of world's longest slide - The 'Guinness World Record-setting slide', measuring 1,111 meters (3,645 feet). It wasn't scary coz the waterslide doesn't go fast. Instead, it was a cooling and windy 'ride'!
The water park has a huge pool with swings and slides too...very much like a kids playground...yea...it is for kids but adults can enjoy it too...the bucket at the top will pour gallons of water once full.
Enjoyable time at ESCAPE despite some bruises here & there due to the activities.

Wow! So fun! I would enjoy the longest water ride too. A&w is tasty so ok for me that it has only A&w there.

Wow!! I like the water slide, definitely will go in it. I also will prefer the leisure than team building. Can enjoy the place and at own pace. Hehe.

You seem to have chosen a light and long-lasting fun ride. Some people take on difficulties and do what they can't only to show off their guts and mess up instead of enjoying what they can. I'm glad you liked it. Excellent place

It has been years since my last company team-building. I'd been thinking that it's now too risky for me to crawl, scramble, jump etc. Wonder if this will be a good reason to sit out activities like that!
