Launched in Singapore in June 2009, Animal Kaiser uses real world animals to teach children about the animal kingdom in a fun and enjoyable way, as every animal in the game is based on actual data and facts. There are currently over 200 Animal Kaiser machines in Singapore.

Players scan their “Animal” game-cards to play as their animal avatars in the machine. They can enjoy unbelievable skills when they boost their avatar’s abilities by scanning “Strong” cards and endow them with special attacks by scanning “Miracle” cards. The machine dispenses a card
after each complete session.

Located on the Level 9 of Cathay Cineleisure Orchard, AK Club@E2Max and IAHGames iCafe operate until midnight on Monday to Thursday and until 3AM on Friday to Sunday.
