Black Friday Singapore
Once upon a time, Black Friday was a single day of shopping in excess; people woke up early the day after Thanksgiving, headed to malls, and fought over deeply discounted sweaters and televisions.
Nowadays, Black Friday is a vaguely defined period in November (usually 29th November) that mixes together solid price reductions, incredible loss-leader discounts, and a slew of questionable bargains.
Since Black Friday deals now last for more than a day, we have put together a list of activities you can do this Black Friday instead of shopping, queuing for hours, and lugging heavy bags of merchandises.
1) Bubble Bump
Bubble Bump is the recreation sport of playing footbal while being half-encased inside an inflated torus bubble; similar to a zorb, which covers the player’s upper body and head.
Typically played in teams in large indoor spaces or outdoor fields, Bubble Bump follows the same objectives and rules as a regular football game; teams compete to hit a ball into the opposing team’s goal with the added condition that each player must wear an inflatable bubble around their upper torso.
Besides just kicking a ball and scoring goals, there are also different game modes available such as Bubble Bump Invasion, Bubble Bump Zombie, and many more.

2) Combat Archery Tag
Sometimes known as Battle Archery, Combat Archery Tag is a combination of 3 other main sports; Dodgeball, Paintball, and Archery.
Participants would form teams of 5, then shoot at opponents with large foam tip arrows using a bow. To avoid having any casualties, participants wear protective face masks and use wooden bows with less than 30lb draw weight.
The game’s rules closely resemble dodgeball; it begins with 10 arrows at the center of the arena in each team’s court. At the whistle, players will race to collect as many arrows as they can, before firing them at opponents across the playing field.
This exciting, action-packed game features different game modes such as The Domination, The Revival, and The Last King.

3) Laser Tag
Taking an age-old ordinary pastime for kids and transforming it into an extraordinary experience, Laser Tag is a tag game played with guns that fire infrared beams.
Infrared-sensitive target vests are worn by each player during the game, which display each players life and team colour. When shot, the vests will deduct a life from the player until he/she has no more life left, then the vest will start blinking to signal that the player is out.
Laser Tag can be played indoors and outdoors with different game modes available that may include simulations of combat, role play, or competitive sporting events including tactical configurations and precise game goals.

4) Poolball
Poolball is the combination of pool and football played on a human-sized pool table that players are supposed to walk on.
Instead of using a cue-stick, players use their feet to kick the cue ball in order to pocket the other footballs.
Poolball has the exact same rules as regular pool, following the traditional 8 Ball or 9 Ball games, with players playing in teams.
Regardless of age, the unique game modes will definitely be enjoyed by people of all ages.

8) Terrarium Workshop
Terrariums are usually sealable glass containers containing soil and plants, that can be opened for maintenance to access the plants inside. However, terraria can also be open to the atmosphere rather than being sealed.
They are often kept as decorative or ornamental items, and can also be further decorated by adding colourful sand and figurines in the terrarium.

Black Friday Singapore
All in all, Black Friday does not need to be spent splurging and fighting for cut-price goods at retail stores. While everyone is busy battling it out to snatch the last product on store shelves, you and your friends could be spending some quality time together having fun and waiting for the queues to die down; since Black Friday sales today has turned into a two-week shopping event rather than 24 hours.
Furthermore, some “discounts” might not be actual price-cuts since retail stores nowadays have found sneaky marketing tactics to promote their offers as significant price reductions; when in actual fact, there is barely a difference.
