...

I am dubious.

From the title, I assumed it would be like a public adventure similar to that zombie game thing, except we get to throw kids into volcanoes, play archery against unsuspecting wildlife and partake in some good old fashioned home-grown terrorist bomb games while being attacked by disgruntled chickens. Alas, it is not so.

So it kinda like one of those lived cinema (like they did with Back to the Future and Star Wars) but without watching a film?

Pretty much that, SCRAP has this big studio where they simulate elaborate mazes like those Esscape the Room games, but also can turn that into attractions, I believe they're doing a Zelda dungeon-style thing (not sure how the other species fit into that), but it's definitely more than a ride.
