We are going to the escape room 'Aladdin & The Magic Vault' at Escape Hunt. The evil sorcerer Abanazar has returned, tricked Aladdin, and stolen the magic lamp! He has locked it away deep inside his heavily guarded desert palace. We have exactly 60 minutes to break into the infamous Magic Vault, bypass his powerful spells, retrieve the lamp, and rescue the genie before time runs out. ([Website](https://escapehunt.com/uk/london-oxford-street/games/aladdin-and-the-magic-vault)) After the game, we could have brunch at The Ivy Soho Brasserie nearby. Please pay £36, £3 for admin fee and £33 for the ticket. There will be no refunds but you could sell your ticket to another member if no longer able to attend.

Zombies is a large-scale infectious outdoor tag game! 🏃 Evade zombies, pick up health packs, become the final survivor! If you're caught, you turn into a zombie and join the hunt! 🧟 🍜 **Optional Lunch** afterwards at Oodles (Aldgate East / only 3 stops from Barbican) 📺 [Previous Hunt!](https://www.instagram.com/reel/Ddj9OhwNipR/?stkn=ZjNwbWwweHA4ajVx) If you like hilarious situations, outdoor fitness, social times, group activities, games, adventures, sports or new ways to exercise, you will love Zombies! Bonding over nearly dying is also a fantastic way to make friends for life! ❤️ 📍 **LOCATION/HOW TO FIND** 📍 From Barbican Underground station, take the stairs on your left immediately before the exit, cross over the bridge and you'll be at the meeting point. 🚉 **Closest Stations** 🚉 * **Barbican** (Circle line, Hammersmith & City, Metropolitan line) - 1 minute walk * **Farringdon** (Elizabeth Line) - 7 minute walk 📍 [Meeting Location (Mendelssohn Tree)](https://maps.app.goo.gl/28QU4giodW6TbTKR7) 💭 **WHAT TO BRING** 💭 \- 📱 **Download the [PlayCulture App Here](www.playculture.com/app)** \- ⚡ Have a fully charged phone \(app will need to stay on for the duration of the game\) \- 👟 Comfy shoes \(You will need to run as part of the game\) \- 🥤 Bottle of water ️🛍️ WHAT NOT TO BRING 🎒 Please try not to bring a bag/backpack as we don't have anywhere to store bags 🚀 **EVENT SCHEDULE** 🚀 * **Meet from 12:01PM** (at the above location) \- If you wish to pray Zuhur then arrive at the starting location early and we can pray togther before starting\. \- Walk to the meeting point \(Location shared above\) \- Brief on how the game works and the rules \- Game Starts: **12:30PM** \- Start with a shorter game session for everyone to help gain familiarity \- Move on to longer game sessions ⚡ **HOW DOES THE GAME WORK?** ⚡ This game uses the free PlayCulture App ([playculture.com/app](http://playculture.com/app)).

Sat, Nov 7, 10:30 AM
From AAA Hiking & Outdoor Adventure
4.9

Join us for an interesting, varied walk through North London’s historic leafy trails, culminating near Alexandra Palace, where we can stay for a glimpse of one of London’s finest November firework displays. Starting in Finsbury Park, we’ll pick up London’s longest linear nature reserve, following a former railway line and passing a folklore-inspired sculpture that has become its unofficial guardian. We’ll climb through Highgate, with its attractive village streets and famous cemetery, before reaching Parliament Hill for views across London to St Paul’s, the Shard and Westminster. We’ll cross the ponds, meadows and woodland of Hampstead Heath to Kenwood House, the elegant neoclassical villa that is home to the Iveagh Bequest and paintings by Rembrandt and Vermeer. We’ll finish by passing through Highgate Wood, a 70-acre section of the ancient Hornsey Wood, before heading towards Alexandra Palace for a well-earned drink or two and the option to stick around for the fireworks later. **NB** The event does not include entry into the official firework venue.

🗣️ Arabic Practice Circle: Social & Structured Session

🗣️ Arabic Practice Circle: Social & Structured Session

Sat, Oct 31, 11:00 AM
From Active Muslims 🟢🟡🔴
4.9

A regular meetup for those committed to practising and improving their Arabic. It is designed for those who know the very basics and want a structured opportunity to practise reading, listening, speaking, and building confidence. If you're still learning the very basics but want some motivation to keep going, you're very welcome to join. Note: This is a practice group facilitated by a native speaker - not a formal teacher or taught class, and not a Quran teaching session. 📚 SESSION FORMAT: ⏱️ 30 mins Intro & Social: We'll go around and introduce ourselves in Arabic. Feel free to prepare 2-3 sentences beforehand if you don't like being put on the spot! 🗣️ 60 mins Structured Practice: A focused session practising together with guidance : ◾ Taking turns reading passages aloud ◾ Listening to excerpts from an audiobook ◾ Working together to translate and understand the text 💬 Continued Socialising: Feel free to stick around afterwards for more informal chat and connection. ✊ Note: Active Muslims is equally about focusing on the actual activity, in this case, it is a practice session requiring mental engagement and active participation (and not just a social), therefore it is advised to approach and attend these events with that mindset, intention and purpose. 📍 LOCATION: Kismet Café ⏱️ TIME: Meet from **11:00am** for intros and socialising. The practice session starts promptly at **11:30am** insha'Allah. 🎒 What to bring: 📚 Any Arabic texts you would like to read 🎧 Headphones (optional, if you prefer listening privately) ➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖ If you can no longer attend, please update your RSVP to free up your spot for someone on the waiting list. ➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖ 🌐 **[@Active.Muslims](https://www.instagram.com/active.muslims)** *(Follow for latest events updates)*
