Joy Time Family Entertainment Center

Project Background

With the upgrade of family consumption demands, the single "adult-oriented entertainment" positioning of traditional arcades can no longer satisfy the family's need for one-stop, all-age, and social entertainment experiences. Joy Time Family Entertainment Center was developed to address this pain point. Centered on the concept of "parent-child companionship + all-age fun", it creates an integrated family entertainment scenario combining arcade gaming, parent-child interaction, children's play, and leisure socializing. Catering to a wide age range from 2 to 40 years old, it has become a new driver for shopping mall traffic and family consumption.

Core Design Concepts

1. Macaron Cyber Visual System

The overall space adopts macaron pink, purple, and blue as the main color palette, paired with neon light strips, suspended geometric installations, and mirror elements to build a dreamy yet technologically-savvy visual atmosphere. It not only meets children's love for fairy-tale colors but also caters to young parents' pursuit of trendy aesthetics, achieving a balance between "childlike fun without childishness" and "trendiness without being overly hardcore".

2. All-Age-Friendly Functional Layout

Breaking away from the equipment-stacking model of traditional arcades, the design team connects functional zones around a "parent-child flow line": the children's play area is located near the entrance for easy supervision; the arcade gaming zone is adjacent to the leisure and social zone to meet adults' needs; the gift redemption zone serves as a visual focal point to boost secondary consumption. Soft partitions and color zoning not only ensure the independent experience of different groups but also realize the natural integration of family scenarios.

3. Social Companionship Scenario Creation

The space is equipped with multiple open leisure areas and parent-child interaction points, such as a central circular stage, themed photo walls, and shared board game zones. These facilities encourage family members to participate together and share photos online, transforming "one-time consumption" into "all-day companionship", extending customer stay time and increasing consumption frequency.

Spatial Functional Modules

1. Entrance & Welcome Area

An eye-catching entrance is designed with a yellow-themed door head and illuminated "WELCOME" signage, complemented by a curved service desk and a themed IP display wall, conveying a joyful atmosphere at first glance. Smart turnstiles and a membership system support quick ticket verification, while also providing convenient services such as luggage storage and consultation.

2. Core Experience Zones

Naughty Castle Children's Zone: Adopting macaron-colored soft padding and safety guardrails, it is equipped with slides, ball pits, role-playing houses, and other facilities, paired with a "Time Bell Tower" themed installation, creating an immersive fairy-tale paradise for children aged 2-8.
Internet-Famous Claw Machine Zone: 20 high-value claw machines are centrally arranged with transparent display windows and themed display walls. Serving as both entertainment equipment and photo spots, it attracts young customers and parent-child families alike.
Arcade Gaming Zone: Equipped with a full range of devices including basketball shooting machines, motion-sensing racing simulators, and music rhythm games, categorized into "light competition" and "leisure puzzle" sections to meet the entertainment needs of teenagers and adults.
Parent-Child Interaction Zone: Features foosball tables, mini billiards tables, and motion-sensing game devices, supporting parent-child joint competitions and enhancing the family companionship attribute.
