*PLEASE NOTE, THIS REVIEW HAS SPOILERS OF THE SENSAS EXPERIENCE*

The first SAS we were sent into was based around Taste and Touch, which is undoubtedly the one to make you uncomfortable. The tasks set were designed to play on the fear of the unknown and pushing yourself passed a boundary which you likely have set. It was simple yet effective, with most of the team getting involved after the shock factor settling in.

Split into two separate challenges, the first sees you enter a pitch black room where you have to guess what the different items are by tasting them (they do ask for allergies/intolerances prior to arrival). The second room is in the dark but this time based on touch guessing what’s in each – did something move or is that just our imagination?! Both tasks really get your heart racing in different ways and how it plays on your mind before, during and after is very well done by SENSAS. 

The last SAS was based on Sight and was definitely the most hands-on and fun, a great way to finish off the experience. This was one of our favourites part of the experience and sure it will be yours too! The challenges set here are a true highlight to SENSAS.

Everyone wants to be a big kid playing in a ballpit, but it’s equally frustrating and fun when you have to search through a waist-deep pit for different items. There’s also a difficult laser maze to channel your inner spy. These final challenges for us created what seemed to be an easy task, made impossible! How hard is it to find some rather large items in a ball bit? How hard is a laser maze? Both challenges really made us laugh at how our skills were maybe not up to scratch and we maybe a little blind! 

The advantage with this experience and the structured nature, it is suitable for almost everyone and you will not be forced to do anything you do not feel comfortable with. However once you’re in the experience with your team, you will find new levels of courage to get stuck in and get the most enjoyment out of the challenges, and maybe even surprise yourself. CCTV is located in all the rooms with screens in the hubs so the team can see what’s going on.

At the end of the experience there is a mind-bending photo opportunity on a sideways underground train where you can strike a pose, sit, hang or stand from all angles. The host will happily take the snaps on your own devices which you can share to commemorate your time at SENSAS and confuse your friends & family.

“By surpassing yourself and overcoming our challenges, you will collect a number of tokens which convert into a donation that SENSAS makes to its partner charity – Disability Snowsport UK – supporting people with disabilities. SENSAS is proud to combine an interactive and fun activity with real actions through donations.”

The team thoroughly enjoyed ourselves with so many laughs and screams throughout the experience; the different activities allowed each person to utilise their strengths, and show their weaknesses. We’d like to thank SENSAS for booking us in for a complimentary session for the six of us.
