Video | Five indoor party rooms to get Hongkongers up, moving and having fun in any weather
Jenga, VR games, KerPlunk, alternative versions of pool, soccer and table tennis – with large indoor spaces offering this much fun, there’s no excuse not to get out of your flat
If you’d rather get your next dose of exercise indoors, you should check out some of the city’s party rooms, where you can get moving while having fun, working up a sweat and maybe even an appetite. Whether you have a handful of fun seekers or an entire class, these venues have space for parties of all sizes. We scope out five of the best.
1. Ball Room
Ball Room has three venues across the city and one in Macau. Each is equipped with different game facilities such as four-way air hockey, pool soccer, shuffleboard and pool (pocket billiards).
The 3,000 sq ft space in Kwun Tong’s Camel Paint Building can host up to 120 guests and has a designated area for curling – a sport where players slide stones across the floor towards the goal. It also has a set-up for rolling Jenga, where the block-stacking, stack-crashing game is played on a rotating floor.
Why stressed Hongkongers should take a hike, not a pill, and let nature heal them
Our favourite is the electric rod, essentially a wire loop game. Running the rod through the circuit without touching the metal and setting off a buzzer requires steady hands and a level head. It is so challenging that completing the mission within the time limit of 150 seconds feels close to impossible, but, according to staff members, at least one Japanese guest has succeeded.
