HADO, the AR sport developed and operated by meleap Inc. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Hiroshi Fukuda), opened a new location in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, on Saturday, October 10, 2026.

HADO is a sport that combines augmented reality (AR) technology with physical movement, allowing players to compete against one another in real-world spaces. Wearing dedicated headsets and arm sensors, players launch energy balls from their hands and activate shields to defend themselves, working together as a team.

Today, HADO has expanded to more than 40 countries and regions worldwide, with over 10 million cumulative players. It is being adopted in a wide range of settings, including schools, commercial facilities, and corporate events.

Through the opening of this new location in Ho Chi Minh City, we aim to provide more local residents with opportunities to experience HADO firsthand.

The opening of this new location in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, marks an important step toward further growth across Southeast Asia.

HADO: An Inclusive Sport Open to Everyone

HADO is designed as an inclusive sport that anyone can enjoy, regardless of age, gender, experience, or physical abilities.

In addition to its introduction in schools and community programs, HADO can accommodate wheelchair users and players with diverse needs, providing opportunities to participate in sports for people from a wide range of backgrounds.

Beyond physical exercise, HADO also encourages the development of concentration, decision-making skills, teamwork, and self-efficacy, creating new value through sports.

The Next Generation of Sports, Where Physical Activity Meets Digital Technology

HADO is a physical AR sport that overlays digital elements onto real-world environments, allowing players to move their bodies while engaging in immersive gameplay.

Players wear dedicated headsets and arm sensors and compete in team matches of up to three players per side.

Combining strategic gameplay and teamwork with an exciting spectator experience, HADO is attracting attention as a new form of competition that brings together the appeal of traditional sports and esports.

Moving forward, we will work closely with our local partners to create more opportunities for people to experience HADO and expand our network of permanent venues, bringing the sport to an even wider audience.

As the HADO player community continues to grow, we also aim to contribute to the further development of international competitions that connect players across countries and regions.

Guided by its vision of “Bringing Dreams and Inspiration to People Around the World Through Tech Sports,” meleap will continue to drive the global expansion of HADO.
