As the weather heats up, us Dubai folks are always on the prowl for fresh indoor escapes to entertain ourselves for the next six months. And right on cue with the spike in mercury, a cool new games venue has swung its doors open on May 28 called Tiger Strikes.
Tiger Strikes – bowling, darts and AR cricket pitches
The multi-venue game in Megaplex Dubai is equipped with every bar game imaginable for an evening of socialising. Hit up one of the 6 neon bowling lanes to fire up some electric rivalry. Or, you could aim for the bullseye (and glory) with Dartsee, state-of-the-art digital darts. Then, cool off the competitive streak with some easy-going banter around pool tables.
Apart from these traditional games, Tiger Strikes delivers something that other entertainment bars in Dubai don’t – WIKIT, caged cricket pitches powered by augmented reality! Think you’re an ace batsman like Virat Kohli or David Warner? You can test your batting skills at three immersive pitches.
Here’s how WIKIT’s immersive experience works – a BatFast simulator with high-tech graphics creates virtual bowlers who will chuck actual balls that you can smash for a sixer in real time. After you’ve knocked out sixes, you and your crew can knock back cocktails at the bar area. Besides drinks, the menu at Tiger Strikes also bowls you over with entrees and snacks. Loaded nachos, cheesy bacon jalapeño bites, chicken wings and beef ‘teriyaki’ are all on there.
