We’re building a system of interconnected lights, speakers, buttons, and other electronics that respond to users and create an immersive experience for everyone.

This is best illustrated with an example. Guests will be issued a tracking medallion which has a button and microphone for interaction with the environment. The first arrive in an area where the introductory story takes place. Darkness (this will be played at night). A narrator takes guests through a story of how their normal backpacking trip was interrupted by a fierce storm. The lights and speakers come alive. They take shelter in a nearby cave with strange carvings of light. Lighted glyphs appear. The storm passes and guest see the archway of the cave exit is now glowing. As they exit the forest seems normal, but somehow also very alien. Fireflies are purple. Sounds that do not have a normal place in the world are heard. The guests have found themselves in another realm altogether. Can they get out? A companion native to the realm accompanies them to guide them through their adventure with their voice.

Through choices made, puzzles solved, beasts hunted, and plans executed guests experience adventure, wonder, and fear along the trails of our 160 acre property in Wester New York. Guests will receive a report of their adventure after their successful escape - or their failure.

We’re currently outfitting one of our trails as a trial-run of the technology to iron the bugs out. If you’re interested in learning more, or would like to use our technology to supplement your existing experience, we’d love to hear from you!
