Solutions · Malls & family entertainment centers

Bowling for malls and game zones. An anchor attraction in the space of a kiosk row - two duckpin lanes and a shooting range pulling families in on weekdays, not just weekends.

Q: We already have a game zone. Why add bowling?

Arcade machines are solo, 90-second experiences. Bowling is a 45-minute group booking that anchors a visit - food orders, repeat leagues, birthday parties. It changes the zone from a walk-through to a destination.

Q: What about the ceiling height and floor loading?

Duckpin needs 9 ft clear height and standard commercial floor loading - no pit excavation, no structural work. Most mall floors qualify as-is.

Q: Can this work as a revenue-share instead of capex?

Yes - for the right locations we deploy on revenue-share with a minimum guarantee, the same structure malls already use for entertainment anchors.

The problem

Dead zones don’t pay rent. Every mall has them - the odd corner, the low-footfall wing, the space too small for an anchor and too big for a kiosk. Entertainment converts them, but a ten-pin alley needs 2,000 sq ft and a year of fit-out.

What fits

A full attraction mix in under 1,500 sq ft.

Combine lanes and firing points to match your footprint and footfall.

2-lane duckpin core

700–1,000 sq ft. The marquee draw - visible, social, photographable. ₹350 a game with 6 games an hour per lane.

Fundook firing line

2–4 laser shooting points along a wall. ~40 sq ft each, ₹150–300 a session - the highest revenue per square foot in the zone.

Playarka platform
