A co-operative live gaming experience for family audiences.
Powered by the Unreal Engine
Immerse your audiences in the future of interactive theatre.
Transform your local cinema or planetarium into the mission control room of the first human colony on Mars. The year is 2034.
Audiences of up to 100 divide into teams of engineers. They have to collaborate on tasks that range from advancing the cause of science, to keeping everyone alive.
Audiences use tablets powered by our gaming engine technology to play. That means completing science-based tasks and challenges to negotiate space adventures with multiple outcomes.
Mission Control Mars works because it lets each audience member experience the show in their own unique way, and personally contribute meaningful co-operative interactions that affect the outcome.
