EXPERIENCE
A transport helicopter crashed in the middle of the desert at a secret enemy base, press (and the public) had to escape the army camps.
The press went through high-octane activities which took place inside Bard of Blood-themed escape rooms at Phoenix Mall. The press was timed each step of the way, they had to escape the enemy base and reach the press conference on time with the help of instructions given by the cast members.
The high adrenaline experiences included evading lasers, shooting enemies, and solving codes. Over the following days, the public repeated the experience. There were enticing photo opportunities, leaderboards generated on the basis of timing and dexterity, and exclusive swag incentivising the audience.
