Universal Pictures’ popular DreamWorks animated features have given movie fans so many unforgettable, lovable characters over the years.
Just ask your friends and family — many of them are likely to have at least one item in their homes featuring Shrek, Princess Fiona, Puss In Boots, Po the Kung Fu Panda, Skipper the penguin and Alex the lion from Madagascar, and the Trolls.
They will be appearing in new movies in the next few years (Trolls 2, Shrek 5, Puss In Boots 2, Madagascar 4), but why wait that long? In March, catch up with them at malls across Singapore. You will find them in carnival games such as drone-flying, mini golf, augmented reality hunt, treasure hunt in a maze, inflatable obstacle course challenge, and archery.
Koulicious Adventures, which plays on the Chinese word for “mouth” (kou), is a collaboration between CapitaLand Malls and Universal Pictures. It features colourful, fun-filled food-themed playgrounds comprising dishes and cartoon characters that are larger than life.
Shoppers who play the Koulicious games at malls such as Plaza Singapura, Tampines Mall, Bedok Mall, Bukit Panjang Plaza, and Westgate stand to win prizes, including drones, vouchers, DreamWorks premiums, and even tickets to Universal Studios Singapore.
The biggest prize is to be found in the Koulicious Draw — a Los Angeles holiday, which includes a pair of return air tickets on United Airlines nonstop flight, accommodation, and a pair of tickets to Universal Studios Hollywood.
To enter the draw, complete at least one Koulicious Adventure plus redeem one of eight special-edition DreamWorks KouKou plush cushions. But why limit yourself to just one adventure? They are so fun, you will want to tackle as many Koulicious Adventures as you can.
To enhance your DreamWorks fun, eat dumplings kneaded in the shape of DreamWorks characters at the KouKou cafe in Bugis+, and buy exclusive DreamWorks KouKou merchandise at the various CapitaLand malls.
