Client Testimonial

Had fun with the games conducted at site with The Cage@Kallang. Amazed with the giant UNO cards, giant Jenga and giant dice for Snakes and Ladder. Instructions given were clear and straightforward from the facilitators. Would have been better if they are able to drive us with enthusiasm from their energy and to manage the change in teams/opponents to match-up for the scores.

Young or old, there will surely be a role for each player in Combat Archery! Identify suitable roles for each team player by assessing your strengths and weaknesses. Players who are not as swift, but are good with accuracy can be the main archer who hides and shoots from behind the bunkers.
