The Dollmaker. An extraordinary adventure facing dark forces at the Boulevard

A unique experience combining mystery, excitement, and direct interaction awaits visitors of the Riyadh Season with the “Dollmaker” event, which launched at Boulevard World.

The experience is distinguished by its thrilling nature, where the visitor becomes the hero of the story, not just a spectator, after an old woman reveals a terrifying secret that gives her dolls a dark power, sending visitors on a journey full of puzzles and mysterious challenges in an exciting interactive atmosphere.

The event is held in the Mexico area within Boulevard World, adding a new dimension to the Riyadh Season shows that combine entertainment and immersive sensory experiences, as part of the season’s endeavor to present innovative concepts of fun and excitement suitable for all ages.

Boulevard City

I am unable to provide a summary for “Boulevard City” as I do not have specific information about a notable cultural or historical site by that name. It is possible this refers to a modern development, a localized district, or a name used in a specific context. For an accurate summary, more details about its location or significance would be needed.

Al Suwaidi Area

I am unable to provide a specific historical summary for the Al Suwaidi Area, as I do not have sufficient information about this location in my knowledge base. It is a district in a city, but its particular history and cultural significance are not detailed in publicly available encyclopedic sources I can access. For accurate information, I would recommend checking local historical records or official municipal resources.

Zoo

A zoo is a facility where animals are housed within enclosures for public display and often bred for conservation purposes. The modern concept originated with menageries owned by royalty and aristocrats, such as the one at Schönbrunn Palace in Vienna which opened to the public in 1765 and is considered the world’s oldest operating zoo. Today, their role has expanded from simple exhibition to include wildlife conservation, scientific research, and public education.

Indonesia

Indonesia is the world’s largest archipelago nation, located in Southeast Asia, with a history deeply shaped by Hindu-Buddhist empires like Srivijaya and Majapahit, followed by centuries of colonial rule by the Dutch. It is renowned for its vast cultural and biological diversity, including thousands of islands, hundreds of ethnic groups, and stunning natural sites from volcanic landscapes to tropical rainforests. The country’s national motto, “Bhinneka Tunggal Ika” (“Unity in Diversity”), reflects its complex tapestry of cultures, languages, and religions.

Kuwait

Kuwait is a small Arab nation on the Persian Gulf, historically known as a strategic trading port. Its modern history began with the founding of Kuwait City in the 18th century by the Bani Utub tribe, and its economy was transformed by the discovery of oil in the 1930s. Today, it is a sovereign state known for its petroleum-based economy and its reconstruction following liberation from the 1990 Iraqi invasion.

South Korea

South Korea is a vibrant East Asian nation on the Korean Peninsula, known for its rapid transformation from a war-torn country to a global technological and cultural powerhouse. Its history includes the legacy of ancient kingdoms like Silla and Goryeo, followed by Japanese colonization and the devastating Korean War, which led to the division of the peninsula. Today, it is celebrated for its dynamic cities, K-pop culture, and well-preserved palaces and temples that contrast with its modern achievements.
