Well… it is what you think it is. Go with your new uni mates and I promise it will bond you for life…. Literally… there’s a game where you will be tied up together and maybe torured too… kinda good if you’re into that stuff I guess. You have to do a range of fun tasks from puzzle solving, riddle unscrambling and tool using to get out (I definitely wasn’t the best…but got a good pic (see below)).
