Paramapadam – The ancient game of Snakes and Ladders

Let’s rediscover the simple pastimes of yore. Games for which you don’t need electricity or batteries! Paramapadam is a board game that is just like snakes and ladders, but with an ethical twist. It’s supposed to be a game of life where bad deeds (symbolized by sinful snakes) bring you down (to hell) and good deeds (symbolized by helpful ladders) take you up to the top (heavens). We also have some other traditional games lined up, so come on and check out whether you can take on real challenges… not virtual ones!

Please make sure you register for both these activities by Friday evening.
