## Story

“Making it to the TOP 100 means that the whole Funtopia team does its job in an excellent way”, says Tania Kishkin, CEO of Funtopia Franchising, and adds: “We have built a franchise system that constantly evolves to enhance the experience at our locations. New attractions are regularly presented, new programs are developed, and new ways of engaging with our visitors are implemented - this is what sets us apart from everyone else.”

“Funtopia is not your regular kids’ entertainment zone” Kishkin continues. “It is a destination place that unites families, friends, and colleagues as it is the ultimate place to celebrate a birthday party, to take part in the fantastic team building programs or, to take things one step further, to gamify the action and compete with all Funtopia visitors around the globe.”

“Thanks to Funtopia+, a revolutionary entertainment scoring system, we aim to provide another level of experience. Funtopia+ encourages visitors to invite friends, create clans, compete in special events, gain points to unlock great avatars, and of course, win special awards.”

With 13 operating locations, and 3 more under development, Funtopia is clearly executing an operational model that helps franchisees start a highly successful business. Alesia Visconti, CEO / Publisher of Franchise Dictionary Magazine says, “Franchising itself is a game changer because it allows people to step into business ownership quickly and successfully, and with support. Each step along the way is explained so people can enter business ownership without the stress of going it alone. A brand that makes our 100 Game Changer issue sets itself apart!”

Future plans for Funtopia include opening its first GCC locations, establishing a state-of-the-art facility in Western Europe as well as stepping into the USA west coast area.

Funtopia® is an active entertainment franchise system. It features a variety of attractions and specially developed programs that combine the benefits of active sports with the quality time spent with family and friends. Established in 2013, the company operates facilities in Australia, Bulgaria, Israel, Malaysia, and the United States.
