Solutions · Real estate & clubhouses

A bowling alley in your clubhouse. Pools get visited, gyms get quit - bowling gets booked, every weekend, by every age group in the tower. The amenity that still earns its floor space in year three.

The problem

Every brochure promises a clubhouse. Every clubhouse has the same five things. Gym, pool, banquet, indoor games room with a dusty TT table. Buyers have stopped noticing. A bowling alley in the amenity list is a site-visit closer - and duckpin makes it affordable at project scale.

What fits

Amenity engineering for developers.

Specified at design stage or retrofitted into an existing clubhouse.

Design-stage spec

We work with your architect on the clubhouse plan - a 2-lane bay costs less per sq ft to provision than a squash court and books 10× the usage.

Retrofit program

Existing society or under-used banquet space? A 2-lane install takes 10–20 days and standard power - no structural changes.

Resident platform

Bookings, leagues, tower-vs-tower tournaments on the Playarka app. The RWA gets usage data; residents get a reason to come down.

The numbers that matter here

₹7.95L Per lane, 2-lane setup (from)

10–20 days Retrofit install window

0 Structural changes needed

6–99 Ages that can actually play

Deal shape

One line in the amenity budget. One line in the brochure. Developers buy outright at project stage - it prices like premium gym equipment. For operating societies, we structure AMC-inclusive supply so the RWA has one predictable annual cost.

FAQ

Common questions

What does the society pay after handover?

A fixed annual maintenance contract covering preventive service, parts, and remote monitoring - sized so a 200-flat society absorbs it as a minor line item. No per-game charges to residents unless the RWA wants them.

Is it safe for children unsupervised?

Duckpin balls weigh 0.9–1.8 kg - lighter than a school bag. No finger holes, no heavy machinery within reach, and lane-end equipment is fully enclosed.

We are at design stage. When should we involve you?

Now - a lane bay planned at design stage costs materially less than a retrofit and lets the brochure render the real thing. We share CAD blocks and MEP requirements with your architect.
