Total Ninja partners with Valo Motion to open interactive entertainment venue in Dubai
Total Ninja has partnered with Valo Motion to open Total Ninja Interactive Dubai – Dubai’s newest indoor adventure park blending physical action with digital gaming, anchored by Valo Motion’s award-winning attractions.
Total Ninja Interactive Dubai offer visitors an experience packed with high-energy challenges, physical action, and interactive fun.
The venue includes a lineup of 12 mixed-reality attractions from Valo Motion, the Finnish pioneer behind ValoArena, ValoJump, and ValoClimb.
Located on the 1st Floor of Joud Boulevard Shopping Mall in Motor City, Green Community, Total Ninja Interactive brings something fresh to the UAE market. The venue sits inside a neighbourhood shopping centre that mainly serves local families, offering a more relaxed and accessible setting to relax, spend time together.
Originally, the Total Ninja brand focused on traditional, analog park formats. With this newly designed vision of the Total Ninja concept, the Dubai venue marks a shift into digitally powered active indoor entertainment. Visitors can bounce, climb, and test their Ninja skills with activities like Wipeout, Battle Ball, and Dodge Attack.
However, it’s the interactive attractions powered by Valo Motion that set this venue apart.
David Harbour, Venue Manager at Total Ninja Interactive Dubai notes “partnering with Valo Motion has helped us bring a whole new layer of energy to Total Ninja Interactive. ValoArena, ValoJump, and ValoClimb let our guests move, play, and challenge themselves in ways they haven’t seen before. The feedback from families, teens, and even corporate groups has been fantastic. On top of that, working with Valo Motion’s team has been smooth from the start. They understand what it takes to run a successful entertainment venue, and they’ve built tech that just works: easy to run, fun to watch, and even better to play.”
Valo Motion designed ValoPark as a compact, active entertainment solution that fits inside high-footfall retail locations like shopping malls. It is designed to run with minimal staff, work in spaces with low ceiling heights, and combine physical games with interactive mixed-reality tech to keep guests moving. The solution helps operators offer memorable, unique, and interactive games without the need for headsets, complicated setups, or technical knowledge.
Total Ninja Interactive Dubai builds on that same idea, only on a larger scale. It’s the first ValoPark-inspired project outside Finland, proving how flexible this approach can be. It takes the key ideas behind ValoPark's compact, high-throughput, and efficient active entertainment and applies them to a larger indoor adventure park concept.
Dr. Raine Kajastila, Chief Executive and founder of Valo Motion shared “Total Ninja Interactive Dubai shows how flexible our attractions can be. The park builds on the core of what ValoPark is all about - bringing active, digital entertainment into accessible, social spaces inside shopping malls. It is a proof that operators can create engaging venues without needing spaces with high ceiling height. We’re excited to see families here moving, laughing, and making memories.”
