At Marina Bay Sands, the guest experience is shaped by intention, detail and a strong sense of place. Discover Marina Bay Sands was conceived as a bespoke children’s activity book that translates the scale and sophistication of this world-class destination into a form young guests can engage with naturally and playfully. At its core is a simple belief: when children are invited into the story, a destination comes alive.
Guided by Rori, the hotel’s mascot and narrative companion, children are taken across the property to discover key on-site experiences. Through considered storytelling, colourful illustration and purposeful activities, the book extends the Marina Bay Sands experience into a refined child-centric storyworld.

Unique Hotel Property Stories We Created
Here are examples of how we applied our key storytelling building blocks in this custom kids activity book to highlight the unique identity of the hotel property:
Define the Guest Experience and Journey
Discover Marina Bay Sands is designed to gently shape the guest journey from the moment of arrival. The first activity begins in the hotel lobby, where a playful scavenger hunt invites children to observe their surroundings and start exploring as soon as they receive the activity book. This early moment sets the tone for the stay, encouraging curiosity, movement and engagement across the property.
Beyond arrival and exploration, the book also creates space for quieter, shared moments. A conversation starter activity was designed to be used during mealtimes, encouraging families to pause, connect and engage in meaningful dialogue together. This reinforces the idea that the guest experience is not only defined by spaces visited, but by the quality of time shared within them.
Guest experience is not only defined by spaces visited, but by the quality of time shared within them.
However, where the book shines most is in its thoughtful role guiding guests toward key on-site experiences.
To encourage families to attend the hotel’s Spectra – Light & Water Show, a dedicated colouring activity invites children to reflect on what they observed or to creatively reimagine the spectacle in their own way. This transforms the daily event into a personal experience, extending engagement beyond the moment itself and helping children process, remember and talk about what they have seen as part of their stay.
Another example is the “I Spy” butterfly activity which draws children’s attention to the TeamLab Digital Light Canvas experience, inviting them to observe the colourful details and movement within the immersive digital space. A “find the odd sampan” challenge introduces the hotel's signature indoor boat ride in an accessible and engaging way. These activities quietly guide families across the property, turning exploration into moments of recognition and discovery.
Together, these activities transform the property into a cohesive storyworld, where each experience is introduced with intention and clarity. Discovery unfolds at a thoughtful pace, allowing moments to be engaged with meaningfully and remembered long after the stay.
