Two years later, he will install his first indoor playground : a modular game in Montbéliard. It thus becomes the oldest manufacturer of indoor playgrounds in France, where this field is still in its infancy.

A pioneer in this leisure sector, Bertrand Coulomb gradually specialized in indoor theme playgrounds, thus actively participating in its growth from the 2000s. This new generation of playgrounds makes it possible to offer the customers a friendly thematic atmosphere guaranteeing better profitability for operators. Play In Business will then equip many playgrounds. Some still show excellent results today, such as the Woupi parks in Rennes and Sainte Geneviève des Bois, now called Gulli Parc.

In 2003, Bertrand Coulomb decided to become an operator and managed his own themed indoor play area : the Doupi Jungle. This new hat suits him perfectly because he turns his indoor playground into an innovative park by skilfully playing on a highly thematic decoration. He has the brilliant idea of ​​using a mascot, Doupi, a central element of his communication and means of identification for his park, to the delight of the children. He also knows how to please parents by initiating events such as high-end birthdays. A pioneer in the field of animation, Bertrand Coulomb has been able to meet a growing but strong demand.
