This thrilling addition can be utilized indoors or outdoors, allowing players to explore their creativity in various contexts.

For anyone looking for an entertaining way to bridge the gap between outdoor play and technology, the Sona presents an accessible solution that combines physical activity and cognitive stimulation within one exceptional product.

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 colorful Funky Floor offers an eye-catching complement. The motion sensing technology integrated into the top of the arch can register any movements made on the Funky Floor.

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

Inclusive smart playground equipment

We came up with five core principles that we feel are most important when designing new playground devices. The Sona has been designed to be fully inclusive through flexibility. Not every game will fulfil every user’s needs, but we offer many games with different experiences for different player preferences and playstyles. With the flexibility of changing and tweaking games through our My Yalp platform, the games and content can be adjusted to match the users using the product at that time and is a big facilitator for play.

  • Barrier-free
  • For all ages
  • Intuitive game
  • Always right in the middle and fully involved
