RIYADH, ARAB SAUDI —
In the House of Hype digital garden, visitors can walk on a grassy floor illuminated by lights in various colors. It's part of a new experience that combines technology, artificial intelligence and a theme park under one roof in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
“We call this park 'wonderverse'. We try to maximize it by attracting creative workers in this industry. In this park there are dancers, who are icons. We also have public speakers,” Abdulrahman Abdulwahid, House of Hype supervisor, told the Associated Press .
“We train people to interact with visitors, to make them happy, ask them things and give them challenges. We also have an app called 'Parks' that can be downloaded. Through the app, users can do missions, get free stuff, and also get around the park faster,” he added.
Sixteen different worlds take visitors through dazzling neon cities, illuminated gardens, blended environments and robotic light shows.
There are four main zones in this park, namely the immersive world, game zone, creator zone, and snack and shopping area.
“Each zone has its own inspiration. For example, District “You. We like to present new things, so sometimes people can be a little confused when they visit,” said Abdulwahid.
There are approximately 50 exclusive gaming stations featuring immersive and arcade games. In the creator zone, winners can design their own digital shoes using voice technology. Ibrahim Mobrio runs Harajuku, a Japanese dessert shop at the location.
“Harajuku comes from Japanese which means small town. Harajuku is also a small town in Tokyo. This place is called Harajuku because it is full of different atmosphere and culture. Visitors can shop and eat,” said Mobrio.
If you want to do some interactive gaming, head to the Hyper K area.
“This is the last zone in this park. It's called Hyper K whose theme is games, especially interactive games. You can play with your body here. That's what's most special about Hyper Km,” said Abdulwahid.
“Hyper K is the most exclusive zone in the House of Hype, which provides games based on artificial intelligence. You can play individually and you can also play with your friends there,” he added.
Visitor Taim Odeh said that the arcade games, some of which are exclusive to this amusement park, were the main attraction.
He said, having exclusive games is certainly very fun. This gives this place a huge advantage over other places, because you can go to this zone. Most visitors certainly come to this place to get something exclusive.
House of Hype in Saudi Arabia just opened last January. This is a permanent park, with an entrance fee of 89 Saudi Riyals or the equivalent of around 370 thousand rupiah. (He is a)
