After powering 150+ award-winning installations, we reveal how to engineer spaces where safety and wonder coexist.

1. Space Optimization: The 50-30-20 Rule

Maximize engagement and revenue through strategic zoning:

  • Core Play Zone (50%+ Space Allocation):
    Utilize multi-tiered structures (e.g., jungle-themed climbing frames with interconnected slides) to create vertical exploration paths, increasing play density by 40%. Qilong’s modular systems allow reconfiguration for themes.

  • Electric Game Hub (20-30%):
    Integrate VR stations and motion-sensor games with padded borders (EN 1176-compliant) for seamless tech-physical play.

  • Parent-Child Interaction Zone (10-20%):
    Embed sensory walls and collaborative DIY stations to foster family bonding—proven to boost repeat visits by 35%.

Qilong Advantage: Our Free 3D Layout Service tailors zones to your floor plan, optimizing traffic flow and revenue potential.



2. Safety Engineering: Beyond Padding

Safety is Qilong’s DNA, validated by dual certifications:

Risk     Standard Solution            
Fall Impact      Thick foam flooring           
Collision        Rounded edges            
Hygiene         Daily cleaning       

3. Developmental Design: Age-Specific Zones

Tailor experiences to cognitive and motor milestones:

  • Ages 3-5: Low-height obstacle courses with texture panels to stimulate sensory integration.

  • Ages 6-9: Ninja warrior courses with adjustable difficulty levels to build grit and coordination.

  • Ages 10-12: STEM play modules for physics exploration.

Qilong Advantage: Our Neuroscience Advisory Board validates equipment sequences for skill progression, aligning with OT best practices.



4. Thematic Storyscaping

Qilong’s signature themes drive emotional connections:
