Lappset Sona Interactive dance and play arch

The Sona is designed for an inclusive and positive gaming experience for a wide audience. It allows everyone to play together, responding to movement underneath it and offering a variety of games at the press of a button. Through an online platform, owners can download different games, including cognitive challenges and fitness activities. Its durable steel frame ensures it can be used outdoors for years. The Sona is suitable for communities, public parks, and elderly care homes, supporting interactive play for 10 or more players of all ages.

A playset that creates interaction

The sensor in the arch and the Funky Floor are the starting point for explaining the Sona since they are essential to the game! Imagine you are walking in a park, and you spot a large arch. Your curiosity is piqued immediately, and you take a closer look. Suddenly, the Sona will come to life with a whistle or by asking if you want to play a game. This marks the beginning of your interactive journey with the Sona!

The beautiful arch is a true standout, and its vibrant and colourful floor offers an eye-catching complement. The motion sensing technology integrated into the top of the arch can register any movements made below.

That means: If you stand on the number one, the sensor registers it. So in case you’re wondering how a playset can greet you, it’s the motion sensor that’s well stored in the arch and not a pressure sensor or something similar under the floor.

Inclusive Design: With a barrier-free entrance for easy access, the Sona is suitable for everyone. The Sona offers play from toddlers to seniors, and allows for multigenerational play.

Unstructured Play: There are no rigid rules, allowing users to play however they like. This flexibility encourages multigenerational play, fostering social interaction and family bonding.

Educational Engagement: Some games involve solving math problems and promoting learning in an entertaining way. This feature can facilitate intergenerational activities, like solving math problems with grandparents.

Adaptable Pace: The pace of the games can be adjusted to meet the needs of users, ensuring that it accommodates various age groups and skill levels.

Soundscape: The Sona’s design optimizes soundscape creation while playing underneath the arch. This clever design minimizes noise pollution.

Landmark: With its iconic Dutch design, the Sona is a true landmark and central gathering point in any park or playground. At almost 13 feet tall, it stands out without obstructing the view of the park.
