Mall of America
When the nation’s largest retail and entertainment destination needed an updated wayfinding solution, Oppna Digital was up for the challenge. The goal? Help 40 million annual guests easily navigate their way throughout the 4.2 million-square-foot Mall of America.
MOA’s previous wayfinding solution was print directories, which required guests to walk around multiple sides to find what they were looking for. Even though the directories were updated quarterly, they were frequently out of date with the mall’s 520 stores, eateries, and attractions.
The solution needed to include personal, intuitive wayfinding that would be easy to understand for all guests, including international travelers who visit the mall on a daily basis. Our team worked closely with Mall of America executives to co-develop an interactive digital wayfinding solution with full-motion graphics, intelligent mapping, and over 200,000 search terms.
Over 100 22-inch interactive displays accommodate millions of worldwide guests with 22 different language options, including Spanish, French, German, Chinese, Somali, Portuguese, Hmong, Japanese, and Arabic. In order to help guests find and navigate a route to their desired locations, a send-to-phone feature with step-by-step directions and animated mapping can be sent to mobile devices.
Only a month after the tiered installation began, Mall of America saw the average directory interaction drop from over three minutes to 30-40 seconds with our digital wayfinding solutions!
American Dream
American Dream, the unrivaled destination for style and play, opened in October 2019 and partnered with Oppna Digital for both kiosk and mobile navigation.
American Dream offers many experiences throughout its property in East Rutherford, NJ and wants to ensure their guests can seamlessly navigate the three million square feet of retail and entertainment space.
Oppna Digital consulted with, designed and installed a custom wayfinding solution. The application can be found on more than 100 kiosks sprinkled throughout the property in easy-to-find locations where guests are able to easily map to any destination, offer feedback and even take the navigation with them via QR code scan to their mobile device. For consumers that desire to plan their visit in advance, that same Oppna Digital custom mapping solution is also accessible on the American Dream website.
