Think you could catch some eggs in a basket? Sounds simple enough. And with the added incentive of grabbing yourself a bunch of egg-citing Meraas Gift Cards, give your competitive side a chance to shine at La Mer from 25 to 28 April and take on the Virtual Reality (VR) egg-catching challenge.

It’s sure to make for an egg-cellent day out with family and friends in the last days of Spring. All terrible egg puns intended.

The rules are simple: catch eggs in a basket as they slide and shoot out at all angles. You earn points for each egg you catch, and you can bag bonus points and time, if you’re quick enough to catch the golden egg.

The 90-second game holds a host of surprises and hidden elements, and features three difficulty settings, so even VR beginners can get involved. To be part of the action, you have to spend a minimum of AED150 at the Meraas’ world-class beachfront destination to play the game.

What’s more, kids who achieve the highest score on each day will receive a Meraas Gift Card worth AED200.

And don’t forget to get on board with La Mer’s Beach Goers programme. Rent a sunbed or a day room and receive up to 20 per cent discounts on the same day from over 40 participating restaurants, cafés and shops, including Aghatti, Steakanji, Miyabi, Amorino, ZouZou, Trina Turk, Pain de Sucre, SunEye, shaymartian and many more!
