Archipel

An adventure island in the middle of the world of Sindbad

Archipel transforms a playground into a small landscape of exploration. Cabins, footbridges, ropes and areas of water outline several paths in the middle of a maritime setting. The children move from one relief to another as if they were discovering fragments of a distant island stranded in Reizenrijk.

The game is based on freedom of movement: climbing, crossing, hiding, manipulating or approaching the water. The wood textures, sails and colors recall Sindbad's travels without imposing a single narrative. Everyone can invent their own expedition based on the shapes and obstacles visible around them.

A new landscape born from an ancient labyrinth

Archipel occupies the land formerly associated with Avonturen Doolhof, but completely renews its writing. The closed space of the maze has given way to more open views and a physical adventure integrated into the World of Sindbad. This transformation illustrates the way in which Efteling reuses an old place to give it a new and coherent story.
