Intellectual Property Development and Interactive Entertainment Products
Finally, PLAYMIND works on the intellectual property development and interactive entertainment products, in particular by offering two different products:
Photobooth :
The Photobooth is an immersive experience designed to create a fun, action-packed moment.
Players may enter the photobooth alone or with a group of people. Inside, players can watch a themed, slightly scary or scary movie depending on the age of the audience. The experience is filled with surprising moments inside the booth where, at a certain point, an event occurs to scare people. A photo is then taken and printed to never forget the visit.
The Playbox
The Playbox is an innovative concept of immersive video games in the form of a transport container or trailer that is easy to install and move, designed for amusement parks, events, festivals and new entertainment centres.
The Playbox
This offer comes with a suite of benefits and functionalities allowing the operator to adapt the content according to the clientele and the season of the year. Such an innovation allows amusement parks to renew their sometimes outdated brand image. A giant LED screen technology gives our customers a head start on their competitors.
