We cannot understand why adults do not know why children prefer computer games to playing outside on a playground. Computer games offer them exciting tasks, challenge their creativity and enable the discovery of new worlds. How can a plain playground, which normally consists of an array of sports equipment, compete with this temptation?

Our counter-proposal consists of small theme worlds. They offer games, where kids can be more active than playing computer and they become the meeting place for their peers and like-minded people. An individual themed play area is also something the children are proud of and provides them with a feeling of security.
