COMMERCIAL AND PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT APPPLICATIONS OF COLLABYRINTH

"As a business owner, I was pleasantly surprised by the impact when it was set up outside our shop in the summer of 2024. It drew in a diverse mix of customers who stayed longer, connected with each other, and even returned multiple times to play. The Collabyrinth created a positive, lively atmosphere that boosted the vibe around our location. The sense of community it fostered had a noticeable, positive effect not just on our shop, but on neighbouring businesses as well. It’s clear that this game goes beyond entertainment—it genuinely encourages connection and collaborative problem-solving. Things that are increasingly valuable - regardless of age."

Large format Collabyrinth units are suitable for outdoor, unsupervised public use in areas such as playgrounds or other public facilities.

The units have thick plexiglass domes protecting the maze hardware from vandalism or theft.

Hardware is engineered for long lifespan and minimal maintenance.

"Collabyrinth is a fantastic hands-on exhibit that truly engages our visitors, especially youth ages 8+ and their parents/caregivers. While everyone has fun giving it a try, what makes it stand out is how it encourages players to communicate, collaborate, and problem-solve together. Youth naturally build teamwork, patience, critical-thinking skills, and learn the value of perseverance. They learn that it’s okay to try again if they don’t succeed right away while having fun the entire time."

Large format Collabyrinth units can be purchased or rented by the month during a business's busiest season. They will keep people entertained in your space and wanting to come back for more.

Large-format Collabyrinth units give a reason to stop and play in an area. In one sense, they are sophisticated playground equipment, in another, they are an opportunity to engage friends and family toward a common challenging goal. Parents and kids often challenge themselves to solve the maze problems.

All components are manufactured from stainless steel or aluminum and maze surfaces can be custom built for specific aesthetics.

In the context of a playground, large format Collabyrinth units provide service to a larger cross-section of the public. The game is suitable for teenagers and adults.

Anyone who walks past a Collabyrinth stops and takes the time to play!
