Hi readers!
It’s that time of the year when we plan holidays and figure out ways to keep cool as the sun scorches overhead. What are your plans for summer? We at Owliver’s Post have been busy, and are doing our best to make sure you are intrigued and entertained this vacation season.
The last two weeks, we’ve been busy hosting our beloved (and India’s first) virtual escape room for youngsters at different schools across the country. Billabong High School in Baroda, Harvest International School in Bengaluru, and two more planned with National Public School and Delhi Public School.
Would you like to host this educational and thoroughly entertaining virtual escape room at your school? Get in touch with us at — vasuki@owliverspost.com, or call + 91 98865 35840 for more information.
