The promotion includes guest room accommodation at DoubleTree by Hilton JB with buffet breakfast for two adults and two children at Makan Kitchen and two tickets to Angry Birds Activity Park JB.

The first 25 guests to book the Angry Birds Adventure Package with the hotel will also receive a set of exclusive Angry Birds and DoubleTree by Hilton JB’s plush toys.

“DoubeTree by Hilton and Angry Birds are global brands that share the same brand values and we invite travelers in the region to take advantage of the hotel’s Stay & Play packages,” said Angry Birds Activity Park JB, general manager, Tony Lika, who believes in the adage that families who play together, stay together.

“When the park opened in Johor Baru in 2014, we invited Angry Birds fans to visit and have some fun with their families,” he added.

In 2014, Angry Birds clinched the award for the World’s Best Game and in 2015, the game was downloaded some three million times.  When Angry Birds the Movie opened this year, it was a box-office success.

Angry Birds Activity Park is an indoor theme park created on level 3 of KOMTAR JBCC, just a short walk away from DoubleTree by Hilton JB.  Inspired by the Angry Birds game created in 2009, this state-of-the-art activity park is designed with fun-packed games and activities suitable for guests ranging from toddlers to young adults.

Some of the games and fun attractions include the Anti-Gravity Trampolines, Classic Tower Play that features a foam pit, Laser Maze Spaceship challenge, Shooting Gallery, Go Kart, Space Drop Airbag and even a Sand Castle Ball Pit for children.

“We are thrilled to be the official hotel partner of Angry Birds Activity Park JB and are confident that our partnership will add value to leisure travellers who are seeking a distinctive family vacation experience,” said DoubleTree by Hilton general manager, Simon McGrath.

“At DoubleTree by Hilton, creating positive connections and experiences with the community is a key component of our CARE (Creating A Rewarding Experience) culture and we look forward to truly living the CARE culture alongside the team at Angry Birds Activity Park,” he added.

This partnership also includes a commitment to make a greater impact on the local community through joint corporate social responsibility initiatives.

The hotel enjoys a close relationship with Angry Birds Activity Park through the hotel’s “Teaching Kids to CARE” programme.  One of its recent collaborations was a charity luncheon hosted by Malaysian Red Crescent JB for a group of Non-Communicable Illness children from Hospital Sultan Ismail with a special performance by Red, the Angry Birds mascot.
