COLOURING IN ACTIVITY + QUIET ROOM

Feeling overwhelmed by the event or need to take a break? Head to the quiet room (close to the entrance), you can also wind down by taking a break in the Colouring In Area next to the Game Zone & Kiosk

The perfect way to recuperate is with some colouring in, @mouis.co has also stocked the quiet room with some samples of pages from their colouring book!
