I'm looking to organise a staff (8) activity, in an evening, 1-2 hours, something fun/team-buildy without associated ****.

Thinking of something new/different/leftfield like rock climbing, Transgression BMX (can you hire bikes?)...any other ideas?

How about wakeboarding/waterskiing at either Foxlake or Dunfermline?

I'm afraid Transgression is an empty shell now, with broken up timber ramps lying outside which the local darlings set alight with painful regularity. Tonight for example when I am on night shift no doubt...

What about that trampoline place, only app 60% of attendees will need a trip to A&E so more budget for the rest?

Go on one of the touristy spooky dungeon tours?

Go geocaching (there are some good ones in the city centre)?

Oh, there's a locked room type challenge venue somewhere a mate went to. You need to solve puzzles within an hour to get out(obvs they let you out anyway) could be good for team morale I suppose? Can't remember it's name though

I'd just go for the meal and drink, nothing worse than forced fun or camaraderie(IMO)

It's just moved, up to mayfield industrial estate- same building as the Death Trampolines in fact. Much bigger venue, looks pretty amazing. I wouldn't last 5 minutes without breaking something though

Adventure Golf Island looks brilliant, I think we're taking a school group there later in the year.

Colleague of mine did Live Escape, she seemed to enjoy it though in all honesty, it's hard to tell, she says things like "It was really good?"

As of the 10th May, or at least that was what they said the other month when we tried to book with them. There's one out at Falkirk though

There's an escape room game thing in Colme St and then a new one opened on the steps down from Mary Kings Close to Cockburn St.
