Panic Room Harlow – Return to the Tomb

This year is the year of Escape Rooms, as each year our children pick something that they want to explore more of. As with most things that start at the start of the year, we have gone all in using the winter days to explore new escape rooms. Previously, we have done the Sherlock Holmes Room at Panic Room Harlow, but we do want to try out their other rooms this year, so went with the Return to the Tomb.

The Return to the Tomb had been re-done, but we didn’t see the last version, so aren’t sure how different it is! At first, we were warned that there would be crawling and some darkness, before our host switched into acting mode and told us all about our exciting adventure. His friend had sent some information to him about a lost tomb, but he is unable to go check it out and his friend has been seemingly missing. We are being sent in to see if we can solve the mysteries of the tomb and find his friend – or at least make it out alive. The escape room does look extremely small at first, and you are given some knee and elbow pads if you want them, before being shut into a room that we all barely fit into.

Triyit Box – Cat Food and Drinks

[Ad- gifted product] We’ve done a few Triyit Boxes in the past, as they are such a fun way to try out some samples (in exchange for filling out a survey)! When we qualified for this box, we were pretty excited, as we weren’t sure at all what was coming. It turns out, there should have been one other item, but it was missing! This was something we only discovered when filling in the survey, as it asked for information about an item we didn’t have, so that was a bit of a surprise.

Seeing Historical Ships at Museumhaven Amsterdam

While exploring around the NEMO Museum in Amsterdam, if you walk towards the back like Dann and I did, you will come across a bunch of different historical ships. This is actually Museumhaven Amsterdam – which is a museum harbor of the Amsterdam Museum Harbor Association. There are over 20 historical vessels there, covering a bunch of different boat types, all moored for people to have a look at.

Birdy Call – A Loud Bird Calling Card Game

[Ad – Gifted Products] Every other Monday, Dann, Amelia, Robin and I get together to play a board game and have some shakes at our local Geek Retreat. I’ve never before been slightly conscious of our board games, until Birdy Call. This is a card game where you will be making some noise, literally, in the form of bird calls! It’s silly, it’s interesting, and it’s quite whacky. I can see it being extremely fun after a couple of drinks with an older crowd too.

All You Can Eat Sushi at MOJO Japanese Kitchen

When looking for a place to eat in another country, we often go towards Asian food. This is because we both really love this type of food! While on a canal tour, the tour guide recommended two Japanese places, one of which being MOJO Japanese Kitchen, so we had to go. This sushi place was right along the canal, which had beautiful views especially as the sun set. There were outer tables, which had robot waiters coming to deliver food, but we were sat in the very centre by a beautiful blossom tree.
