A day at the Smaaash gaming paradise, Noida

Before entering into the game zone Smaaash that has recently opened its doors in DLF Mall of India, Noida, I recalled my old days when I used to play outdoor games like badminton, football, cricket etc. I was wondering if I will get the same amount of joy playing games here too! Well as soon as I came into the house of games, the super friendly staff welcomed me with refreshing lemonade. The ambiance was dark with glittery lights and cool enough to beat the summer heat.

Cricket simulators are the first sector of Smaaash, you will want to try this. This virtual reality zone can make you feel like Sachin Tendulkar.  A one of its kind 360o cricket field has music like a cricket stadium. It shall also make you face bowling from popular cricketers! Time to test your cricket skills, in amateur level, if you hit six fours in a row against a spin bowler or three against a pacer you win a beer. In county level you need three fours or one six against a pacer to win a beer, if you can become half Yuvraj Singh, i.e. hit 3 sixes in a row then go to bar as 6 free beers are waiting for you. In international level of the game, the scene is different. A complete 6 off 6 ie Yuvraj Singh style six sixes can make you the owner of a Harley Davidson. Yes, six sixes in international level can make you the big winner of the day.

Then came the exciting Football game. In goal keeping area, a goalkeeper is standing intact in the mid field. If you have the ability to override him by making two goals in a row then cheers . . . two Beers for you. 5 goals in a row and a recharge of INR 3000 in your Smaaash card, 7 consecutive goals and a recharge of INR 10,000. And Harley Davidson shall come to you if you can make 10 continuous goals. So, what are you waiting for?

Now comes the virtual reality experience which is a blend of positional and motion tracking. The nearly real graphics took me off to 7D scene. These adventures were Fly max, Walk the plank and many more. After such awesome rides, my inner child jumped out and started demanding for more. So, I sat into the Finger coaster, the deadliest virtual roller coaster ride you have ever thought of. Fellow Bloggers were screaming out loud here. I point this one as a must try.

Next in the row is Fly max, most of us haven’t got opportunity to ride this as we were above 65 Kg. Well, the ones who tried this said that it was definitely thrilling.

By now, hunger was already knocking the belly’s door so we immediately rushed to grab a bite at in-house ‘mighty small café’ which houses a nice variety of fat free delicacies and cocktails. Price range is nominal and is around 1200 for two (inclusive of taxes).

At the end, I was happy, active and ready to get back here for the next time.
