15/08/2024
Now, summer may very well be here, but that doesn’t guarantee good weather, particularly not up north.
As a result, we’ve been on the lookout for fun things to do for families to kill some time on those rainy days.
Today, we went to Challenge Point.

Now, when the sun's shining like this, Manchester really is one of the best places in the country.
00:04
Even when it's not, we've still got lots for you and your family to do to keep yourself busy over the summer.
00:09
So, let's go see one, shall we?
00:11
Now, this is Challenge Point.
00:13
So, this whole place really is like an ode to TV games.
00:17
So, I'm going to go on the journey, I suppose. I'll try not to lose too heavily.
00:21
And, yeah, you can come along with me.
00:24
Action!
00:26
So, you play seven games while you're there. Each of them are through, like, a different hidden door.
00:30
So, this is Supermarket Beep, where you've got to scan items and then smash the button down.
00:35
I've just been locked in a room and told that I've got to press a button on a wall to get out and there's going to be lasers.
00:40
So, if this is the last you ever see of me, that's why.
00:43
Please don't think less of me for seeing this footage. That's all I have to say.
00:50
So, I've played two games. It's not an exaggeration to say I am exhausted at the minute.
00:55
Already, there's five more left to go.
00:57
So, it's a really, you know, physically active thing, but great for kids.
01:01
After you've done a couple of games, they have your spinner wheel.
01:03
I lost points here.
01:04
I've just been roundly laughed at because I got minus points.
01:08
So, some of the other games were this golf one, where, you know, it's fairly obvious.
01:12
You've got to put as many balls in as you can over five minutes.
01:15
Then there's the charades one, where I've got a member of staff to join me.
01:18
And then, finally, this shooting one, where you've got to shoot the correct answer.
01:22
But here's how it went.
01:24
With 350 points.
01:28
That doesn't sound right to me. What do you think?
01:30
It's a cheater.
01:31
Well, we had a look, and you have cheated on every single game.
01:34
So, we're going to have to disqualify you.
01:36
Which means 99 points. Great.
01:39
So, I didn't win. I got outed as a cheater for using staff.
01:44
And I'm not bringing the million pound cheque with me.
01:46
But, even so, it's been a pretty good time.
01:50
And it's, again, the perfect place to bring kids if the weather outside isn't exactly what you want.
01:55
And kill some time during the summer.
01:56
So, that's all for now. Follow us at Manchester World for more.
01:59
And I'll see you again soon.
