Hopopop ! The new flunch concept with interactive games!

It’s because flunch has been reinventing itself for years that it is regularly voted the favourite restaurant of families in France! And to continue to capture the hearts of the French people, the restaurant chain recently revised its concept. And the result? A new flunch concept that is more modern, more adapted to the expectations of families and also… more fun with new interactive Kylii Kids games for children 🙂

Hopopop, a new intergenerational flunch concept accessible to all!

Flunch is rolling out its new concept on the Roncq site, the 2nd historical flunch, which reopened its doors at the beginning of April. Brighter, the new flunch is moving away from the self-service cafeteria to the “food court” with several kitchen areas: trattoria, grill, plancha, burgers, galettes, bistro and Asia.

In addition to the culinary renewal, the restaurant is transformed into a real place of entertainment with :

– A bar at the entrance for the grown-ups but also to drink your coffee
– Themed cubes for families and groups (jungle, bathroom, pirate ship…)
– A games area for teenagers (baby basketball, air hockey, pinball machine, etc.)
– And finally, a play area for children with a tubular structure and new interactive games by Kylii Kids!

A new flunch with interactive games for kids!

What if we reinvented the experience in flunch playgrounds? This was one of the missions of Prisca Galvez-Behar – Brand Manager – Partnerships and Family Experience at flunch:

“We decided to implement new physical and digital experiences. And above all, multi-player, intergenerational experiences that encourage exchange. Content was also important to us. The Kylii Kids games are fun and the themes are intelligent. ”

In the new flunch concept, children become actors of an immersive experience with the interactive wall. They discover, play, marvel and share a unique and amazing experience! The interactive wall is a simple white wall, which is transformed into a giant play area and above all… tactile, without a screen!

A second experience is available for children to share a convivial moment and it is the touch table. A collaborative game that can accommodate up to 6 players simultaneously! A new interactive activity to play together, make new friends or have fun with your parents.

Léon play area – Kylii Kids Touch Table in the new restaurant concept

To offer customers a unique experience, LÉON, previously known as “Léon de Bruxelles”, is introducing a brand new “Fish Brasserie” concept. This concept integrates a Léon play area with the Kylii Kids touch table.

Léon’s “Fish Brasserie”, a “Family Friendly” concept

In the new Léon concept, called “Fish Brasserie”, we can see ropes, green ceramics, traps, shellfish and… a new Léon play area equipped with a Kylii Kids touch table!

According to Mr. Villegas – General Manager & Franchisee of LÉON “Fish Brasserie” Reims – the tactile table is a great success with customers! It pleases the children but also their parents:

” Families are very happy, we always place the families next to the children play area… The kids are delighted and when children are happy, the parents are happy too.”

Kylii Kids touch table allows children to play together (up to 6 players at the same time). Its catalogue of more than 25 games is regularly renewed and the games available are about current themes that are popular with children (nature, ecology, animals, science, etc.).

Mr Villegas also mentions that the children gather together around the table and share friendly moments.

“They play around the table together, they play with others. It’s suitable for all ages because it’s fun, it moves, so that makes it so interesting (…) It’s very modern for children, children understand quickly and it’s so simple to use with lots of games on a simple table!”

With the Léon play area, children are entertained and their parents are also delighted!

According to a study by the NPD Group, family meals represent 30% of all visits to commercial restaurants, i.e. 360 million visits, and in 22% of cases, it is the child who influences the choice of restaurant for the rest of the family.

It is clear that to attract families to a restaurant, it’s important that the restaurant provides services for children, and LÉON restaurant brand has understood this.

This is why Léon play area integrates the tactile table in a room dedicated to children and various accessories (sailor hats) to please the kids.

According to the RestoConnection website, equipping a restaurant with “kid-friendly” facilities is an opportunity to attract between 20 and 25% more customers.

Currently in the rollout phase, the brand has already installed tactile tables for children in five Léon play areas (Léon Chambray les Tours, Léon Evry Lisses, Léon Nancy Vandoeuvre, Léon Reims Thillois and Léon Servon). And the deployment continues in the remodelling and new restaurants integrating the “Fish Brasserie” concept.

McDonald’s WWC22 : Kylii Kids introduces its Virtual Reality Tower for kids at the McFamily!

Kylii Kids has exhibited at its first McDonald’s international convention : McDonald’s WWC22 ! It was an opportunity to introduce our Virtual Reality Tower for kids to McDonald’s franchisees around the world. It was such a wonderful experience to have both children and grown-ups play and have fun with our McDonalds approved interactive game.

McDonald’s WWC22, the international and major event of the golden arches brand

McDonald’s welcomed more than 12,000 McDonald’s franchisees, suppliers, team members and employees from all over the world to its convention. It was at the Orange County Convention Center (OCCC), one of the largest and most prestigious convention centers in the United States!

The McDonald’s WWC22 reunion was highly anticipated. The participants were looking forward to be re-united after such a particular time.

And for Kylii Kids, it was a premiere! We were very happy and proud to be part of this special event. It was an opportunity to present to the entire McFamily our virtual reality tower for children, approved by McDonald’s for their indoor PlayPlace areas.

The Virtual Reality Tower Kylii View®, a game approved by McDonald’s

With its super cute robot design, which reminds us of a hero from a famous cartoon studio, Kylii View has melted the hearts of the franchisees at McDonald’s WWC22.

Approved by McDonald’s, Kylii View is a virtual reality tower that rotates 360 degrees. It’s a bit like a tourist telescope, but with this one, children can interact with two buttons and discover extraordinary virtual worlds.

Both sizes were available at the Kylii Kids booth at McDonald’s WWC22. There was a baby Kylii View for ages 6-9 and its big brother for ages 9-12.

A 3rd Kylii View was also available at the other end of the convention at the Kompan Commercial System booth (We thank them again for this temporary adoption 🙂 )

Let’s travel together through virtual worlds in PlayPlace areas

Let’s bring magic to the PlayPlace areas ! Participants were invited to have fun, interact and play many games on themes such as ecology, nature, science, food…

All games are developed by the Kylii Kids teams and are regularly renewed so that children can discover what’s new in the McDonald’s play area every time they visit!

Kylii Kids Contacts

We would like to thank the McFamily again for this AMAZING experience! And if you couldn’t attend the event, don’t hesitate to contact us by email for more information: sales@kylii-kids.com

See you soon in the children’s play areas 🙂

Behind the tactile table, and under the friendly eye of the famous Colonel Sanders… Children can explore virtual reality with the Kylii View tower: Virtual reality binoculars for kids.

KFC Furiani interactive play area, a new installation by Kylii Kids

After Nancy Laxou, the KFC Furiani interactive play area has been set up by Kylii Kids. Augmented Reality games and a tactile table are now available for little corsicans in this amazing brand new interactive play area !

A phygital concept for upcoming share moments

In this fully phygital concept, KFC has chosen to offer mixed, complementary, varied and collaborative experiences. In the play area, we find both a traditional tubular structure and digital games made in France by Kylii Kids.

First, on one side of the KFC Furiani interactive play area, children will have fun with their body movements thanks to the Kylii Air Totem. An augmented reality solution that turns a simple screen into a magic mirror. You can fly a plane just by lifting your arms, put on all kinds of virtual garments like magic… Or even perform a new sporting activity… In total, nearly 40 games available to play, move and stimulate the imagination of young people from Furiani.

Then, on the other side of the digital play area, children will also have the opportunity to play around the Kylii Touch Table. The Kylii Kids Table is multiplayer and allows up to 6 children to play simultaneously. More than 24 cooperative and collaborative games are available on themes both fun and smart. (ecology, fashion, science, nature…)

KFC Furiani interactive play area, a way to get ready to prepare the upcoming reopening…

For now, KFC’s restaurant in Furiani has not yet fully reopened its doors (only for take-away sales). But this project is part of the aim to attract and develop families loyalty. Since the idea of “pleasing the children” is the main motivation for family meals in a restaurant, getting ready for the return of families also means setting up a nice play area for the children.
