The two companies have been working on games with each other since fall 2022. Now, they\u2019re exclusively developing emoji-branded entertainment centers under the name emojiPlanet\u2122 with locations coming stateside in early 2025. UNIS explained that the family entertainment industry is increasingly shifting toward IP-based centers and that \u201cemojiPlanet\u2122 enters this competitive landscape with a unique edge \u2013 leveraging the global popularity of emojis to create a space that is instantly relatable and universally appealing.\u201d Already introduced to China, emojiPlanet\u2122 offers operators a recognizable brand and a slew of different options to keep things fresh. UNIS is currently in talks with operators to bring the concept to North America and elsewhere next year. Thus far, UNIS and emoji\u00ae have created 16 games and counting, plus attractive merchandise and theming to go with them. \u201cWe can sell games, we can sell merchandise, and also have zones in someone\u2019s FEC. We can have pop-ups in shopping malls with 20 to 30 games \u2013 fully themed,\u201d explained Steven Tan, general manager of UNIS. \u201cIt\u2019s a very flexible concept.\u201d What\u2019s also nice about the brand is how utterly well-known it is. Tan said, \u201cemoji\u00ae has such a broad audience. It\u2019s part of the fabric of society. We intend to grow with this brand over the next decade-plus. It\u2019s a very relatable brand and with Gen Z soon having the highest spending power in our industry, they dictate what the future brings. \u201cBut ultimately \u2013 every generation uses emojis,\u201d he said. The company emphasizes that the brand is an integral part of daily life and communication for many people, with more than 10 billion emojis used each day. (That\u2019s 3.65 trillion a year, if you can believe it!) \u201cWe\u2019ve launched redemption arcade machines such as emoji Roller, emoji Frenzy and emoji Party, and UNIS secured global distribution,\u201d said emoji\u00a0 CEO Marco Huesges. \u201cDue to this success, we\u2019ve embarked on another exciting journey, creating emojiPlanet\u2122, a groundbreaking concept that will truly redefine location-based entertainment around the globe.\u201d He added: \u201cWorking with Steven and his team is truly amazing. His dedicated team works with professionalism and passion, and the execution of projects is truly second to none.\u201d Enter emojiPlanet\u2122! All of their emoji offerings culminated in the idea behind the emojiPlanet\u2122 location concept. Tan explained that UNIS will provide turnkey solutions for operators no matter what their own plans for an emojiPlanet\u2122 center may be. He said an emojiPlanet\u2122 facility can range from a 1,500-sq.-ft. micro FEC on up to a 20,000-sq.-ft. center. \u201cScaling up is no problem,\u201d Tan said. With both player card and merchandise sales as options, he says operators can easily host birthday parties and events, as well as serve food and beverage to customers. It\u2019s all about finding innovative ways to present the iconic emoji brand, whether it\u2019s a full-scale fun center, a suite of emoji games or an emoji section of merchandise in your redemption counter. \u201cWe couldn\u2019t have found a better brand to work with,\u201d Tan added.
