Dubbed Aqtiv Archery, participants are given a mission that must be completed within three to five minutes in the maze depending on the mission’s level of difficulty, according to Krizia Chu-Tranquilino, general manager of Oculus Archery.
Unlike target archery, participants must expect twists and turns on moving targets.
For the first mission, archers will face off against monsters of the wall.
They will be on the run which adds difficulty to the activity. In keeping with the theme and more fun setting, participants will be wearing costumes and headgears.
Tranquilino said for the recreational archer, it’s the next step to improving their skills and enjoying archery even more at the Sandbox.
Themed settings will be changed over time so if you’re a court jester in this adventure, you may be a witch, a Viking or even a Hippie in the next, Tranquilino said.
The Sandbox offers different archery packages but first timers can try the 30-minute target archery first which includes basic lessons, equipment and a stationary target.
According to Tranquilino, this is a pre-requisite before guests can try Aqtiv Archery, which requires basic archery knowledge that has to be combined with agility and hand-eye coordination.
Archers who beat the set time for the challenge will be granted Archery Elite status and will win tokens from Oculus Archery. Every end of the month, the top five fastest archers that completed the challenge will be showcased.
The rate for Aqtiv Archery is at P250 per attempt on the challenge maze and a package rate of P400 which includes a 30-minute target archery.
Tranquilino said Alviera and Oculus Archery will look into hosting tournaments in Sandbox in the future in partnership with academic and sports institutions.
Joining Tranquilino at the inauguration of Aqtiv Archery were Mayor Condralito “Carling” Dela Cruz, Alviera executives led by Leo Grate, Porac officials and the Chu family.
