Umbala means colors in the Zulu language and is shaped as a gigantic multi-colored caterpillar passing through all continents, the North and South Poles, traversing various fairy tales, a wizard's dungeon, an Inca pyramid and much more. The players undertake an expedition inside the tunnel-like body of the caterpillar filled with sculptures and murals. Each colored segment is like a square in a board game and instead of dice, a combination of wheel of fortune, puzzles and equations, games of skill and fun athletic activities take you to an educational, full of fun adventure.

The players gather a ball for each place successfully visited and for each challenge that the players overcome, and when all balls are gathered the players can climb on the pyramid of the Incas and sit on a giant sculpture of a grandmother reading from a fairy tale book to overview from the top the whole background and celebrate their success. Multiple slides, rope ladders, and tunnels make Umbala an intricate labyrinth that can provide hours and days of a fun filled adventure. The activities are accessible to all, and elderly or incapacitated participants can bypass climbing or other physically challenging activities.

Umbala can be built in a public park, plazas, university or business campuses, schools, institutions, and even large backyard gardens and farms. Additionally it offers a summer festival of collective art where all students, families, alumni, community members or employees with their families can participate in, creating a functional playground for all to use and enjoy as well as a permanent outdoor art exhibition.

Umbala can be created in any theme from a city's history to a cartoon, a fairy tale, a space theme or any other theme you can imagine.

So what if we can have an outdoor board game that everyone can enjoy in our own backyard, our neighborhood or our place of work or study?
