PROJECT DEVELOPMENT

Developing the Amusing KAKĖ MAKĖ WORLD

Kakė Makė is one of the most popular Lithuanian children’s literary characters. Over the past years, the character from the children’s book has become the most popular Lithuanian children's brand: it can be found in books, TV shows, stage shows, games, clothes, and a variety of other consumer products. The Alma Littera Group, the owner of the Kakė Makė brand, had an even greater ambition of developing the entire Kakė Makė World – an entertainment space for the families with kids. The development of this large and exciting business project was entrusted to the Monartus team.

Undeniably, this was our biggest project in 2019. Over a period of 10 months, the team of our project managers, together with the representatives of the Alma Littera Group, developed two family entertainment centres – the Kakė Makė World at Akropolis Shopping and Leisure Centres in Vilnius (800 sqm) and in Kaunas  (700 sqm). The investment totalled EUR 1.6 million.

The Kakė Makė World is dedicated for children aged 3–10.  Here children can broaden their experiences in the real world of their beloved character – they can enjoy role playing, celebrate birthdays, attend events and workshops and, above all, meet their beloved book heroes – Kakė Makė, the Elf of Mess, Monsters, the Tooth Fairy, Mummy, Daddy, Pirates, Mucius and others. Children can also take part in such activities as climbing nets, playing in a ball pit or on a slide, climbing through a series of obstacles, riding a zip-line, or jumping on a trampoline. There is a space with toys for toddlers too.

The spaces specially dedicated for children’s play and entertainment and fitted out according to the illustrations of the book author and illustrator Lina Žutautė foster children‘s curiosity, imagination and exploration, develop their social, physical, intellectual, and emotional skills, encourage communication and language development, and support the ability to play independently and with other children.
