At Kandima, we never stop pushing boundaries, and this year we’re taking entertainment to the next level! Introducing PlaySpace, a high-tech entertainment hub designed for teens, grownups, and families alike. Opening this year, this one-of-a-kind space will bring together classic arcade games, immersive VR adventures, escape rooms, and bowling alleys.

Spend your day perfecting your bowling game, getting lost in a virtual reality world, or challenging your family to a high-stakes escape room adventure. PlaySpace is all about creating connections and good vibes while making sure everyone has the time of their life.

Other Thrills to Dive Into

If you can’t wait for the new adventures, don’t worry—Kandima already has a lineup of thrills to keep your adrenaline pumping.
