Our idea of some bouncy castle fun

Maybe it’s because we used to have so much fun playing in bouncy castles when we were younger, but we still can’t resist a good ol’ inflatable even as adults. And while Art Zoo had huge inflatable characters and bouncy castles, it was more for younger kids and Instagram backdrops.

We have to admit that sometimes we do get a little envious when we see kids bouncing around in their little castles. Which is why we’re thrilled that there is now a huge inflatable playground only for adults coming to Singapore. No kids allowed!

Named The Beast, the huge inflatable obstacle course is the world’s largest course by inflatable gurus Hold My Shoes. It even holds the Guinness World Record – this is the real deal, guys.

The Beast has been to Tomorrowland, Vidcon and other countries all over the world. And now they’re dropping by Sentosa from 7 to 9 December as part of the GTFO! Launch Festival.

The 252m-long bouncy masterpiece is filled with various obstacles, and you have to make your way through all of it to conquer The Beast. And it’s definitely heaps more fun than the American Ninja Warrior Challenge, we’ll tell you that.

Here’s what you can expect:

You’re given 2 hours to conquer The Beast with a ticket. Or you can get the day pass to maximise your bouncing time. You don’t have to be super fit to take on this monster of an inflatable castle; most people take about 12 to 15 minutes to complete the whole thing. Add in an extra half an hour if you keep stopping to take photos – we’re guessing that’s why they are selling slots in 2 hour blocks.

And if you’re just there to support your friends, you can join them at the food and drinks area because you only need a ticket to enter the Beast. There will also be fitness workshops and classes, and live acts and djs to entertain your ears. The festival will also have “silly games”, which we’re assuming are carnival games.

For now, you can expect food offerings from Cocoloco, Singha, Coffee Bandits, Saiko Butter Brew, Word Cafe and Two Wings, with more to be announced.
