Great idea. I would have liked to have seen a video about what actually happens - e.g. is it just some Hue lights changing colour and a LCD screen that flashes green etc, or are there actual physical things that happen in response to players? Like does a door spring open if you "hack" something from your laptop? Do you need to pan and tilt the camera around? Do you have to physically move things remotely like turn a safe tumbler to the right combination etc? Can you drive a "drone" around to take a closer look at something on the wall? Seems like a very scalable idea though :) Good luck with it! I can imagine one or two "SREs" running a warehouse with 15 or 20 rooms all going simultaneously and there to fix/reset if 100% automation cannot be done easily (e.g. a remote drone that gets stuck/falls over). I know during lockdown our teams have been screaming out for team building activities that can be done remotely and this sort of thing would be great. Nice one.

Thanks, Matt! We've got a few quick shots of the experience tagged to the end of this teaser: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NQYt0L-6K-U https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NQYt0L-6K-U This is very much a v1 of our take on remotely playable games. Some quick examples: Players can control light, sound, some electronics that physically move (nothing crazy for now -- a tape deck, a centrifuge), and influence a "ghostly orb" to move around the room. Here's a peek at what's coming down the pike: - One remote experience that's an adaptation of an existing in-person experience we have, but made in such a way that it can handle many concurrent sessions. The idea is that this'll help us with larger team building events. - Another experience with camera control, more influence on the environment, and more elaborate sets. This is definitely going to be a first of its kind. Would love to see something like that warehouse style operation happening! Shoot me an email if you want to arrange some team building.
