A new adventure centre is coming to Castle Quarter, where teams must work together to save the world.
'Si5 Spy Missions is the first attraction of it's kind in Norfolk and you can now book ahead of when it officially opens on November 6th.
Bob Richardson, the founder of the new attraction says trade's booming, despite some Covid measures still being in place:
"We still have some Covid Measures in place, but the rest of our business is currently up by 142%. Lots and lots of people really want to go and do stuff, now they are allowed to. So yes, we're seeing a very big bounce back and we're very grateful to our customers for that".
He went on to say that choosing Castle Quarter in Norwich to host the centre wasn't a difficult decision:
"When we approached the shopping centre, they were incredibly helpful. Their attitude towards the changing of the retail market was very positive. We felt that we would fit very nicely into their plans to turn Castle Quarter into a leisure centre".
But, Mr Richardson did admit that the pandemic meant going ahead with this project wasn't a straight forward decision:
"All of our centres were shutdown for fourteen to fifteen months and we lost over a million pounds. Nobody really knew whether, when and how we'd be able to be able to open up again. But fortunately, myself and the other shareholders took a view on it and decided to progress"
He concluded by saying that Spy Missions isn't just for kids:
"The whole aim of this is to make it fun for kids. But, if you want to come as adults, be big kids. Once everyone has got past wanting to be too cool for school, everyone wants to be a big kid again. It's great fun and brilliant to laugh at one another for making silly mistakes."
