This immersive 10.5-minute walkthrough attraction redefines the theme park experience, bringing the adrenaline-pumping world of PUBG (PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds) to life. Spanning over 750 square meters (8100 sq.ft.), this attraction has guests stepping into the shoes of a PUBG agent and embark on heart-pounding missions.
The adventure utilizes interactivity, immersion, media, motion, and projection mapping to create a thrilling journey. Visitors embark on a group experience with 16 people, forming squads that enhance the collective experience. Designed for players of all ages, whether familiar with the PUBG universe or not, the adventure spans three distinct zones, each featuring a unique 3-minute challenge: the Motion Simulator, Training Facility, and Interactive Theater.
The journey begins in the queue simulating Camp Jackal from the PUBG universe. Surrounded by maps, signage, and other game iconography, anticipation builds for the adventure to come.
Then guests board the Motion Simulator, replicating a C-130 transport plane bound for the island of Erangel. The journey takes an unexpected turn, climaxing in a crash-landing at the Sosnovka Military Base. The Motion Simulator features state-of-the-art technology, including 4K media content, a motion platform, and special effects to enhance the immersive experience. “Butt kickers” amplify the impact from debris hitting the plane. As the plane plummets, lights turn to emergency mode, intense motion destabilizes players, and smoke fills the cabin.
From there, guests proceed to the Training Facility through a themed corridor replicating the ‘Red Zone’ from the video game. Explosions can be heard and felt through speakers heightening the sense of urgency. Entering the Training Facility they discover their predicament and learn how to use their targeting device culminating in an epic battle. Interactive media is projection-mapped onto a volumetric surface, creating a dynamic and ever-changing environment. Players must work together to overcome challenges, collect loot items, and fend off attacks from enemy forces. Items collected during gameplay in this zone will affect the final boss fight of the Interactive Theatre creating unique scenarios with each playthrough.
Players escape through the underground tunnel themed “Blue zone”, in search of a way out to find an idling truck waiting at the entrance of the Interactive Theatre. Here the adventure comes to a climactic finale as guests race against time to complete their mission. Equipped with 3D glasses and a targeting device, players take a seat on the back of the flatbed truck, collect points as they target enemies, and race, swerve and drop through iconic locations from the game. Wind effects and interactive 3D media heighten the sense of speed and motion, in this pulse-pounding finale.
Finally, guests exit through the game’s abandoned control room. Here media content cycling through monitors inform players of their individual scores, completes the storytelling of the adventure and provides Easter eggs to be discovered.
