Yep, and maybe it's having a resurgence in zone 2 too.

Completely agree with that.

I went to one of those games up in Euston a couple of years back. It was fun, different and it made a change from sitting in the pub all night.
In fact I've done some other games like that where you roam a particular area of London (King's X, Tower Bridge area etc) playing an interactive game, which takes you round the really interesting back alleys and places you never knew existed (like the musical grave things up off Pentonville Road).
The outdoor roaming ones are about £30 a pop and last 3 hours, which I think is really good value for an afternoon of entertainment with a gang of mates.
£30 for an indoor one that lasts an hour (i.e. the one on Acre Lane) is a bit steep in that respect. The indoor one in Euston is about £20 for the hour, which is far more reasonable.

I think it's less of a hobbyist thing.
Once you solved your way out the room you won't be going back for another go...

Maybe they'll then go to another room. It's all that team-bugling thing innit. Go-kart racing etc.

Actually I saw a programme which explained how much "meat" was in cat and dog food and it ain't much!

have you seen the website ? It's worse than you might imagine.
You get to play at living in a dehumanising vaguely kafkaesque type world.. their website promises a parallel universe where "The government rations and controls everything to keep things tidy .".
Far out.

Sounds like the sort of world enviromental activists would like.

what am i feeding the cat then? mulched down flatpack furniture & powdered bones probably. I don't want to know really, he seems fine with it.

Team bugling? Is that a thing?

Ash. IIRC there's a certain percentage of ash in cat food. It's listed in the ingredients.

You just made me read the label on my cat's food for the first time and it says: "we choose to use as pet food in this recipe, fish and rice that originally came from human food chain ", so that sounds pretty eco-friendly to me. No ash is mentioned though the stated percentages of good stuff don't add up 100.

probably. This is even worse than admitting to going to Mamma Doughs for the overpriced pizza.
My parents' cat used to get fed mainly on Felix pouches and Go-cat dry food. But she went absolutely potty for Marks & Sparks honey roast ham. We used to give her that as a treat, or as a bribe to get her to go somewhere she didn't want to - like into the box when it was time to go to the vet's.

Make it a DAB and I'll agree to a sterilisation.

had to google that but no, he's not that posh. I found my cat via a handwritten poster sticky taped down the road saying "kitten to sale £20 " & the handover took place on top of the freezer in the corner shop, small cat transferred from a man's pocket into my care.

Curious to know:
a - does it still belong to Lambeth Council?
b - are there any customers for such an odd venture?

Seems to be pretty well booked up for the next 2-3 weeks at least.
It's not a particularly new thing, been in this country for 2-3 years at least (that kind of thing anyway). What I didn't know when I visited the one in Euston (a friend of me invited me along - she's into theatre and interactive stuff like that) is that it's quite a big thing overseas - quite a popular family/social pasttime in Hungary I was told by the guys who run it. They were actually Hungarian (and very nice with it) and decided to have a go in the UK (HintHunt I think it's called).
I enjoyed it but would not be desperate to do it again. And it's not really the kind of thing to get worked up about - it's quite innocent fun, not particularly 'luxury' or hipsterish. It's not like there's loads of them popping up all over Brixton and thumbing their noses at the local community (though this Brixton one does seem a bit steep).
And it's been mentioned here before

Spot on - pay 30 sheets, walk into a darkened room, down a ladder into a dank tunnel, walk 800 yards, up a ladder, emerge in

Solidarity against neoliberalism!
I noticed Brixton town hall clock said the wrong time today, said 5 o'clock when it was about 11.30 ish. Is this all part of the town hall rebuilding?
I rely on that clock to know if I'll be late of a morning. bugger.
