Simulation Is the New Escape

Whilst there is and always will be a thirst for the excitement of escape rooms and murder mystery dinners, the general consensus is that we always want to push it further. One such movement is that of simulated experiences, which takes the role play of something like such experiences and elevates them to a full sensory experience.  

We are talking life simulation experiences. Stepping into another reality, not to be a bystander but to live inside it for a short time. The line between real and imagination is blurring, and it's already live inside the WonderDays website!  

For a time, you get to be someone or somewhere else.  

Captain on the bridge! Right now you can captain your own starship in a full mission spaceship simulator experience with flashing consoles and the thrill of galaxy wide consequences should you fail! Whether you're on the enterprise or discovery, each bridge hosts live actors and your very own crew uniform in this fully interactive and simulated experience. 

Still flying high but not “out of this world”. You can also take command of a commercial airliner and attempt a take off and landing like a pro! All the buttons, lights and control of a commercial cockpit! This hands on Boeing flight simulator is a tailored experience with expert instructors to give you a crash course in flying (pun intended!)

Here are some other amazing simulations to stimulate the senses: 

• Junior Helicopter Pilot Simulator Experience 
• Concorde Flight Simulator 
• Fly A Spitfire Simulator 
• Battle of Britain Flight Simulator 
• Top Gun Fighter Jet Simulator 

Silverstone to St Andrews 

Back down to earth now and this 4D Race Car Experience isn’tjust about pressing the pedal and turning the wheel. This is racing with motion, vibration, surround sound and full sensory feedback. High speed thrills fully simulated so zero risk. Choose the track of your choise or even try off road rally for a “bumpier” ride!

If you have craved to take a full 18 in at some of the best golf courses in the world, then don’t go spending a fortune on world wide travel… Play a round of golf whatever the weather in the state of the art golf simulator experience. All equipment is provided as you aim for the hole in one holy grail, ideal for all skill levels in hyper realistic environments. 

So, aside from the obvious draw to wanting to pilot and aircraft or take a spin around Monaco, what makes people crave simulated stimulation:  

• Role-Play without the embarrassment 
• Adrenaline with danger 
• Master the craft without years of training 
• Total identity swap for a few hours 
• Bragging rights and social media likes!  

These simulation experiences may only be the beginning.Early proof that people are more than ready to step out of their own lives and into entirely new ones. If right now we’re flying commercial aircraft, piloting helicopters and racing F1 cars in hyper real environments, just imagine what the next wave could look like. Alternate reality roleplay? Fully interactive future society environments? It might sound bold, even a little unbelievable… Because the future of experience gifting isn’t just about what you do…it's about who you get to be!
