A meld between classic hide-and-seek and modern escape rooms, Otah & Friends takes you to Otah the otter’s home – but it’s not your usual housewarming affair. To spice things up, participants are tasked to look for their host by following breadcrumbs of clues that’ll lead to where he’s hiding in wait.

Curious folks will love the 45-minute-long task of rummaging through gorgeous pastel kitchens, bedrooms and living rooms in search of hints. While going through this mini-treasure hunt, don’t forget to stop and smell the flowers – or in this case, stop to snap some shots with the stunning IG-worthy backdrops. There are plenty of photo-ops around every corner!
