Resort brings families together through innovative new ways to learn while having a spooky fun time

ISKANDAR PUTERI, 30 September 2019 – Families planning their Halloween celebrations at LEGOLAND® Malaysia Resort are in for yet another treat this year. Throughout the month of October, the resort will be decked out in a spooky fun Halloween theme, complete with spooky fun activities for every ghost hunter and trick-or-treater.

For the first time, LEGOLAND Malaysia Resort is employing AR technology to provide a more immersive eduplay experience for the whole family. At the Hidden Sides Haunted School Bus which will be parked at the beginning area of the LEGOLAND theme park, families can hunt for LEGO ghosts through the augmented reality platform available with the built LEGO sets. This limited-time interactive experience is in line with the recent launch of the brand-new LEGO Hidden Sides which are basically three games rolled into one: it is a classic building toy, a tech toy, and an AR game.

“At LEGOLAND Malaysia Resort, we are always exploring new and innovative ways we can celebrate our yearly celebrations such as Brick-or-Treat. This year, the new Hidden Sides set offer our visitors a fun new experience through AR, blending future tech with our timeless toy. We believe in harnessing new technologies to help families be more creative, learn how to problem solve and ultimately, build better relationships with each other,“ said Kurt Stocks, General Manager at LEGOLAND® Malaysia Resort.

More Spooky Fun For Everyone

Meanwhile, diehard Trick-or-Treat-ers should head straight to the Knock Knock Alley where they can meet new and interesting LEGO characters, collect the best treats, and peek into brand new worlds with every door they knock on.

That’s not all! There will be tons of other fun Halloween-themed activities available at the park, including:

• – Families shouldn’t miss the biggest Halloween party in town where everyone, including Frankenstein, Vampire, and Witch, are invited!
• Meet the LEGO Friends at their LIVE show as they do their high-energy performances in their special Halloween outfits.
