Why Choose ESCAPE Penang as the Next Trill-Seeking Spot

Founded by Sim Choo Kheng, the core philosophy is “Low Tech, High Fun”. The aim is to reintroduce outdoor play and move away from an isolating electronic lifestyle. 

Its design emphasises self-directed and self-powered play with rides that utilise gravity and physical motion rather than electricity. 

The park is meticulously integrated into the rainforest of Teluk Bahang. 

The rides and obstacles are designed to work with the existing topography, extending from the hill to the lush tropical surroundings. 

It offers a genuine escape from the digital world and the stress of modern life, encouraging travellers to reconnect with nature and physical activities. 

The activities in the park are designed to encourage skill development and improve teamwork.  

The park continues to innovate within the “low tech” philosophy, often improving existing attractions or adding new ones with clever challenges.
