An Easter egg hunt around the city

Paint an egg with Sip&Gogh at Century Mall

After visiting the numerous historic churches in the metro, celebrate Easter Sunday at Century City Mall with Easter Sunday’s Art & Mystery. This all-day event (11 am to 5 pm), in collaboration with Mystery Manila, Sip & Gogh, and Taters, is jampacked with family-friendly activities for everyone to enjoy.

To participate, shoppers just need to present a ₱500 worth of receipt from any Century City Mall store dated April 9 and they can join in on the fun at Level 1, Main Atrium. Participants will get to flex their minds to solve four stations of Mystery Manila games.

Aside from testing your mental skills, you can also practice your creativity with Sip & Gogh’s Easter Egg-painting activity. All that action means that your stomach would need to be filled, too. Worry not—Taters will provide all participants with free popcorn before they leave the activity area.
