April 2016 175 www.bahrainthismonth.com This ludicrously wonderful game can accommodate up to 20 players and is suitable for all ages. Ready for action, we scattered all over the course, hiding in corners and running up and down the ramps. Bursting with adrenalin, we took on the roles of a sniper, short-range shooter, strategist, ambusher and even bait to tackle the enemy team! The aim of the game is to not just shoot pointlessly in the dark but to hit the target, collecting points along the way for accuracy, number of shots and suitability of gun choice depending on distance. Still buzzing from the experience, we headed to the Bowling Zone, where more fun ensued. One would think knocking pins down with a ball is easy enough, but easier said than done, as some of us quickly realised. After warming up and getting to grips with the ball (and avoiding the gutter), the battle of the strikes turned into a thoroughly enjoyable evening. There are 12 lanes of international-standard bowling designed by Pinnafarina (which designs Ferraris in Italy) and made by Switch, as well as a pro-shop offering the latest equipment and clothing for bowling enthusiasts, young and old. You can even purchase your own bowling ball (all levels and styles from cheap to high-end) and have finger holes custom drilled to fit your grip! Ozone also houses eight high-end, international standard Tornado US foosball tables (coin operated), officially used for tournaments around the US. The foosball section is supervised by Abdullah Zayani, a GCC foosball champion and Ozone’s foosball tournament coordinator, who is always at hand to offer advice and training. The dedicated Games Zone brings all the latest gaming titles from FIFA16 to Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 and is equipped with a range of high-end PCs, PS4s and car simulators. There is also a private gaming zone for over 18s, the only one in Bahrain where smoking is allowed. With the aim of introducing the best entertainment on the island, Ozone’s future plans will see the arrival of Virtuix Omni, a first-of-its-kind active virtual reality motion platform in Bahrain. This state-of-the-art equipment will allow you to have a gaming experience like no other: what you do in the virtual world is decided by what you do in real life, be it walk, run, sit and strafe. With 360-degree freedom of movement, it allows you to control your avatar without restraints. Located in Sitra Mall, spanning over an area of 3,500sq/m with a capacity for 1,000 people, Ozone offers pure entertainment in mammoth proportions. Opening timings are Sunday to Wednesday, noon-midnight, and Thursday to Saturday, 10am-2am. It also offers tailormade corporate packages/team-building days for customers and a VIP Business Lounge for corporate clients. Monday’s Ladies’ Night is extremely popular, whereby ladies have bowling and laser tag free from 8pm to midnight. Call 17125162 or email [email protected].
