Kuwait, 15 September 2019: Gulf Bank wrapped up Al-Tijouri, an entertaining escape room competition in which teams from all across the country joined together to solve puzzles and compete for cash prizes. The activation, which took place in Phase 3 of The Avenues over the course of three days this past weekend, resulted in a total of three winning teams, each of whom took home a KD 300 cash prize for solving the escape room in the least amount of time.

As an escape room competition, Al-Tijouri challenged participants to answer three puzzles within a time limit of five minutes. Each team of players thus had to cooperate to discover clues in order to escape the site of the game and take home a cash prize of KD 300. Using a combination of strong communication skills and a clever strategy, the winning teams managed to solve the escape room within the least amount of time, with Gulf Bank awarding one winning team per day with a KD 300 cash prize each.

Commenting on the Al-Tijouri escape room activity held this past weekend, Mr. Ahmad Al Amir, Assistant General Manager of External Communications at Gulf Bank, said: “This past weekend marked our first-ever entertainment activity of this kind, as part of our ongoing plan to host more of these kinds of events at various malls and other venues across the country. As part of our ongoing corporate social responsibility program, our goal behind this initiative is simple: to connect with as many community members as possible, providing everyone with family-fun activities and the added joy of winning cash prizes and more. Congratulations to all the winning teams of the Al-Tijouri escape room, and we’re looking forward to even more exciting competitions and initiatives in the future.”

Rushaid Al Rushaid and Faisal Al-Refaie, both members of one of Thursday’s winning team, said: “We were hanging out at the Avenues when we decided to check out Gulf Bank’s Al-Tijouri escape room. It ended up being such an exciting activity, especially with the time limit as an added challenge. We were both so surprised at how simple the puzzles were, especially when we started playing according to our individual strengths. By working as a team, we won!”
