- It is difficult to convey the impressions, there is a huge flow of children. The guys come up, ask interesting questions that you don’t even expect! We hold quizzes, various competitions, give out merch to the kids and give out QR codes so that the kids join our social networks. The kids are interested and look at everything with enthusiasm.
