Irinah House Night 2014

How the time flies. It’s the beginning of a new year, and that means it’s also the start of a new term. This term, we had our annual house night at eCurve where we played a challenging game called The Escape Room. For those of you who have never heard of the game before, it’s actually a good way of making a person think more and get closer to your friends. Since we had school on that particular Saturday, we only got to leave the house around 2pm and reached there by 3.30pm.

Before playing the game, we were already assigned into our own groups of 6 or 7 people. Therefore, there were 12 groups in total. Since The Escape Room can only accommodate 6 groups at a time, some of us had to wait while doing some quizzes. My group was given the “Prison Break” room. We were actually handcuffed together and blindfolded while making our way into the room itself. In the room, we had to unlock the handcuffs, find the key to the prison cell AND the key to unlock the door. Trust me, it was so complicated to get a single key because of all the locked boxes that was meant to stall for time. Did I mention, that we only get 45 minutes to escape the room?

By 7pm, everyone had already completed the game but not all the groups manage to find their way out. Once out of the ‘room’ we get to take pictures with either the winner’s crown or the loser’s sign.

After that, the girls were free to do their own shopping as well as have dinner at the Curve. Finally, something other than KTJ food >.< It was a day well spent together with all the Irinians as we bonded and shared as a family.

      Sadly, we had to leave the Curve at 9.30pm. I’m sure that all the girls would agree that the time spent together would forever be a sweet memory. Can’t wait for the next House Night!
