Interactive cinema experiences — with Cineplay

Movie theaters already have the ideal infrastructure: a large screen, a shared space, and a large audience.

With Cineplay, the screen version of Kinetarium, interactive multiplayer games can be integrated directly into the theater. It’s the perfect way to pass the time while waiting and to enhance the movie-going experience with a shared activity.

Visitors can join in spontaneously and play together—before the show, between screenings, or during events.

This actively engages the audience—no app required, no barriers.
