Our story so far

From places families could visit to stories that can travel.

Otah & Friends began in Singapore as a world children could step into. Those years taught us what children return to: a character, a question and a moment they can make their own.

Then, now, next

The format is changing. The heart is not.

What the real world taught us

Children remember how a character made the room feel.

Physical experiences gave the friends scale, texture and a place in family memories. The next chapter carries that warmth into stories families can return to anywhere.
