18 Worlds That Spark Your Imagination
What makes House of Hype special is how each space feels like its own little universe. In one area, you might feel like you have stepped into a futuristic neon city. In another, you are surrounded by creative illusions that make you question what you are seeing.

It is immersive, but in a fun and easygoing way. You do not need instructions to enjoy it. You just let yourself explore.
