Sanrio Hello Kitty Town Virtual Tour: Hello Kitty in Oz

Welcome to Hello Kitty in Oz: The Lost Chapter Virtual Tour

I’m Tiffany Yong, your pictorial tour guide for this post, and at any point of time, do feel free to ask me any questions by commenting in the comment box below. So many of us know that the Sanrio Hello Kitty Town at Puteri Harbour, Malaysia is the first Hello Kitty themed attraction outside of Japan which has both interactive and walk-through activities.Hello Kitty in Oz Tiffany Yong 2Inspired by the magical tale of ‘The Wonderful Wizard of Oz’ by L. Frank Baum, the three-year-old Hello Kitty Town has this new walk-through attraction that will transport guest to Oz itself and you will get to experience a fairytale adventure with HELLO KITTY and friends through a tale of bravery and friendship! Hello Kitty in Oz Tiffany YongHello Kitty in Oz takes place after Dorothy defeats the Wicked Witch and has returned home. The widespread rumours about “The End of Oz” reached the ears of the Great Witch. In order to safeguard the world of Oz, the Great Witch decided to remove a chapter from the Great Book of Oz – hoping to change the ending. Alas, her actions caused the Emerald City Machine to malfunction and throws Oz into chaos.

Hello Kitty in Oz KL BloggersSo here we are, the brave heroes heroines, to come and help Hello Kitty, the Scarecrow, the Cowardly Lion and the Tin Man to save their world. These are the friendly babes who accompanied me through the adventure. Introducing new blogger friends from Malaysia (left to right): Laura, Lisa, me, Carina, Fish and Pris Chew (Singapore)! Hello Kitty Great Witch of OzIf you have been wondering who is the Great Witch of Oz I’ve been talking about, she is our very beloved Hello Kitty! Upon entering the gates of Oz, you will receive a smart electronic device which double up as a Hello Kitty toy/figurine. “The Great Witch of Oz” device will help you kickstart the challenges in each station.

Hello Kitty in Oz Lost ChapterAs you enter the world of the Lost Chapter, you will be briefed on how you can help Hello Kitty and her Heroes of Oz to save the magical land. As the land is in a chaos, heroes who wish to help save the Oz have to enter in sessions, with up to 30 people being able to participate at the same time.Tiffany Yong Hello Kitty in OzWith the Great Witch of Oz device as your “amulet”, you will have to go through the Mirror Maze before facing the four interactive games (suitable for both big and small kids) that will determine whether the magical land can be salvaged. So, yes, I’m wearing the Great Witch’s hat, so I’m the little Witch of Oz helper!

Hello Kitty in Oz 2Despite the claimed-chaos, the remnants of Oz are still magically-photo-worthy. Coming from a passifan-angle, it was difficult to resist the charms of the well-loved story of Oz with a Hello Kitty twist. Upon entrance, you are given 20 minutes to complete the challenges! And the time starts … NOW!  

The 4 Challenges in Oz

Just outside the Munchkin Village, you will come across Kuromi the Fortune Teller who offers to read your fate with her cards. But do not fall for her readings, and pay close attention to the cards she deals. Your fate is in your own hands.  Hello Kitty in Oz Kuromi Tent
Little Witch Helper’s [Kuromi’s Tent] Difficult Rating: **** 4/5

In this mysterious-looking KUROMI’S TENT, you will have 15 seconds to remember the order of 6 cards on a computer terminal, and then arrange the cards according to the exact same order. You have one chance to do so.Hello Kitty in Oz Wood FactoryAt the Wood Factory, the Great Witch calls on your to challenge your strength and determination. In his haste to respond to the Great Witch’s call, the Tin Man has abandoned his post – so there’s not enough wood to warm the hearths of Oz. So time to roll up your sleeves (see, I did!), and put your back and heart into chopping that wood! The more wood you chop, the closer you are to helping the Great Witch save Oz!

Little Witch Helper’s [Wood Factory] Difficult Rating: ** 2.5/5

Use the cute Kitty chopper to ‘chop’ or tap the number of times each wood requires to be chopped. This might be a little difficult for kids to understand right at the start, so try to let them see what others are doing before rushing to the game. Avid game players should find this challenge as easy as 123. Hello Kitty in Oz Corn House Scan DeviceAfter being in Oz for a few minutes hours, you heroes stumble onto the farmer’s humble abode, striken with hunger. Your eyes light p as you see a row of (virtual and inedible) corn ready and cooking on the open fire. But with no one in the room and not a soul to watch the fire, the corn may quickly turn to ash. It is up to you to take charge – and ensure that the corn is roasted to a bright and golden yellow. Before that, use ‘The Great Witch of Oz’ device to make this possible!

Hello Kitty in Oz Corn HouseLittle Witch Helper’s [Corn House] Difficult Rating: ** 2/5

Fan the grilling corn by waving your hand in the stove, above the imaginary fire. Watch the screen to make sure the temperature does not go beyond or below the optimal temperature. If you do it too hard and the corn will burn and if you wave too lightly and the corn won’t get cooked. Easy peasy for the experienced Witch Helper! Hello Kitty in Oz KeroppiJust before reaching your last destination, drop by the Keroppi Barnyard and say hi to the Keroppi which are trapped in the barrels and dizzy from the chaos. Too bad, besides taking a nice selfie with them, there’s nothing you can do to save them, except to complete the tasks!

Hello Kitty in Oz Emerald CityOnce you’ve travelled the length of Oz, you come to the gateway to the Emerald City. Enter and be sure not to be distracted by the flying fishes. Remember the fate of Oz still lies in your hands. Locate the Emerald City Machine and use it to capture the letters from the lost chapter in order to save Oz and return home!

Little Witch Helper’s [Emerald City] Difficult Rating: ** 2.5/5

Avoid the fishes and allow only letters to enter the magic hat. Having to control three buttons, this feels like a nostalgic video game which you won’t mind playing this for long. Kids might have difficulty trying to multi-task, but once you get the hang of it (which sadly, the game is pretty short), you will want to go for more! Hello Kitty in Oz ExitCongratulations! You’ve completed all the challenges! At the check out counter, return the “Great Witch of Oz” and you will receive a post card with stamps showing the challenges you have accomplished successfully (or unsuccessfully)!

    My daughters are HUGE Hello Kitty fans and would totally love this. Now this is a Hello Kitty fan’s dream.

  3. so this is the hello kitty town you’re talking about! i’m not a fan of this mouthless cat, but this place sure looks fun and is so IG-worthy!
    and it was nice meeting you (finally!) last night! 🙂

  4. Oh goodness when I read Hello Kitty Town on the title I knew this was gonna be cuteness overload! AHHH I wanna go!!! So jealous. I’m a grown woman but I still got love for the most famous kitty.

  5. This is a very interesting place – and I am sure that, given the impressive number of Hello Kitty fans, it will be successful! It looks like you had fun!

  6. It is my wife who is more of a Kitty fan than my daughter. I guess it is because it was so much the rage when she was younger. I will bring her to this place. – Fred

  7. When you add Hello Kitty in anything it will always turn out cute! Gosh, how adorable can all these get, I would love a tour there and get myself some Hello Kitty stuff too.
