CHALLENGE

When ADabisc was approached to develop a children’s entertainment concept for The Gate Mall, a multi-disciplinary team was immediately assembled to tackle the problem. Using the design thinking process, the initial research and discovery identified educational and body-active concepts as key opportunities for the -5and-older audience the venue was aimed at.

SOLUTION

With family entertainment venues across Doha offering little variety, the research clearly showed a desire for wholesome, healthy, learning experiences for children. Using game theory as a starting point, ADabisc began developing a compact entertainment centre concept that leveraged incentives and rewards to get children active, both mentally and physically, while having loads of fun at the same time.

CanDo features a wearable RFID device that tracks each user journey through the entertainment centre. Roughly half of the attractions are ‘earning’ opportunities, where children work body and mind to gain points, which can then be ‘spent’ on rewarding activities, such as a bowling alley, 4D ride or PlayStation booth. CanDo’s ‘fun while learning’ approach has wide appeal, with many schools already adding the venue to the field-trip roster.

The majority of attractions within CanDo were developed by ADabisc’s in-house team of designers, strategists, game developers and edutainment specialists. Since its launch in the first quarter of 2016, Cando has garnered wide attention from investors keen to franchise this unique idea across the region and beyond.

RESULTS

CanDo has become an exciting destination for the whole family to ‘Play, Learn & Energize’ in an interactive environment. The attraction continues to grow from strength to strength, as more parents choose holistic edutainment, which caters to their children’s physical and educational needs, over the ‘thrillride and arcade-game’ format that provides no developmental benefits.

ADabisc thrives on creating firsts! Yet another of our 'cool' inventions is Snow Dunes, Qatar’s first indoor snow park.

This massive original creation brings snow-capped mountains closer than you ever imagined. Rides, slides and a host of other attractions come alive in this Arabian-themed winter wonderland – complete with an Arabian castle!

With more than 4,800 square metres of sculpted ice peaks and piles of snow to wade through, all set in a -4°C atmosphere that chills as much as it thrills, Snow Dunes has been designed with users of all ages in mind.

When Al Jazeera Media Network decided to create a café of their own, the challenge was to offer the city a unique experience. ADabisc was entrusted to design a café that went beyond F&B to integrate a holistic digital experience into a contemporary eatery.
