SuperPark is an indoor game park operator. It was founded by Taneli Sutinen in Vuokatti, Finland in 2012. It launched its first park outside Finland in Hong Kong in 2017.[1][2][3] Since then, it has launched parks in Singapore, Kuwait, and Malaysia among others.[4] It was acquired by private equity firms Sentica Partners and Tesi in 2018.[5]

In 2018, SuperPark was a subject of a National Institutes of Health study that aimed to look at the benefits of visiting an indoor activity park for 7 to 12 year olds. It was found that "visiting SuperPark has the potential to improve health".[6]
