Achtergondinformatie

A chinese saying says “Never lose the child in yourself”. This is why a Chinese can work for so long and move well in the very hectic life there.

 

Also in the western world life is very hectic. Evening the daily problems can give a lot of relief and work very positively against stress and burnouts. Within psychology and psychiatry this is known and its importance is recognized, but in the absence of possibilities, nothing is done to the least.

 

 

Adult play is often seen as crazy and inappropriate in the standards of adulthood we impose on ourselves.

Opening an indoor playground for adults only can ensure that that threshold is eliminated because all visitors are there for the same reason: play!

 

 

On the internet, however, it is known about adult games. There are among other things

Also in the advertising industry, the play of adults regularly returns. For example, think of a big ball box in the middle of the street to make friends:
