House of Hype is Dubai Mall’s newest and most electrifying attraction, blending immersive technology with high-energy entertainment. Spanning approximately 100,000 sq. ft. in the Chinatown area, HOH is an adventure playground like no other, featuring mesmerizing worlds, interactive games, thrilling performances, exclusive shopping, and epic surprises at every turn.
