Endemol Shine UK and Fire Hazard Games reveal new experience based on hit TV show.
With the Channel 4 show Hunted having reached its finale, Endemol Shine UK and Fire Hazard Games have teamed up to create a ‘real-world’ version of the hit show.
The Hunted Experience is a real-world 90-minute game for fans of the TV show, as well as immersive experiences, allowing ordinary members of the public to become fugitives and attempt to outwit a team of intelligence experts hot on their tail.
Just like the TV show, participants of the new experience will compete against other fugitives, evade the hunters and find a hidden extraction point.
Played across an area of London, fugitive teams will need to find friendly contacts, move from A to B using an in-game crypto currency and figure out where the final extraction point is, all while evading a team of hunters watching their every move.
Fire Hazard Games is working closely with Endemol Shine UK Live Events to create a live experience that is in keeping with the feel of the TV show. It will feature a mix of technology, specially designed games and a number of secret locations and actors.
Gwyn Morfey, founder of Fire Hazard Games, commented: “We have been doing real-world adventures for many years now, but are very excited about creating an authentic experience that’s based on Hunted; something we haven’t done before.
“Fans of the show can rest assured that they will get a real, panic-inducing, London-based Hunted experience.”
Tom Greenwood-Mears, head of live events at Endemol Shine UK, added: “We have watched the rise in popularity of real-world escape experiences over the last few years and soon realized that Hunted would be a great format to use.
“Fire Hazard’s experience and enthusiasm in this industry and their fantastic track record in producing great experiences, meant we wanted to partner with them on this high-impact event.”
Tickets are available to buy from February 9 from www.huntedexperience.co.uk.
