Mission: Return Home (Run 1)

Set in a research station in the Arctic territory, “Mission: Return Home” was about fear. Fear of the unknown, of the incomprehensible, of not being able to trust those around us. The event was organized in a mountain hut in the snow-covered Alps, to create the feeling of being in a remote, hostile place. Players, impersonating scientific or security personnel of the research station, had at their disposal a computer system, able to listen to their questions and answer them through screen messages, while a group of characters participated in outdoor missions in the snow. A special app simulated prohibitive environmental conditions and kept track of the time spent outside, and the consequences of progressive hypothermia. Plus, the success of the mission was jeopardized by the fact that someone secretly wanted the mission to fail. The event took place over the course of a single night, with the rising tiredness and tension of the players leading to the dramatic finale.
