Global Village visitors are in for a surprise this season. Dubai’s popular attraction has quietly launched The Wonderverse, a hidden augmented reality adventure woven into the park, and anyone who cracks the clues could walk away with Dh30,000.

As night falls, a mysterious glow links four secret worlds across Global Village. Visitors must follow clues, solve puzzles, uncover missing map pieces and unlock digital portals, all while roaming the destination like normal.

The twist? You can only access the experience by physically exploring Global Village.

Designed for all ages, the gamified adventure blends the real world with digital storytelling, turning a casual visit into an interactive quest. Every completed challenge unlocks rewards and puts players in the running for the Dh30,000 grand prize.

It’s Global Village’s first step into the metaverse, adding a new “phygital” layer where culture, technology and play collide.
