Alterface is in the process of building the first walk-through dark ride in Dubai, UAE, with wireless technology.

Instead of going through the ride in a cart, guests become the hero and enjoy the dark ride by running through the maze, while solving their mission.

Alterface has also added contents to our interactive theatres portfolio with Pirate's Plunder and Sea Safari (3D) and is in charge of the interactivity for Reset Annozero, a dark ride in Mirabilandia in Italy.

Another recent project is an ambitious interactive haunted house (project 'theHouse'), which has opened in Branson, Missouri, US, as The Castle of Chaos.

TheHouse is an interactive show combining interactive theatres, dark rides, 4D cinemas and haunted houses. It will be marketed as a 3D movie, a ride and a game in just one room. Gathered on a rotating platform, sitting on themed seats, disoriented players quickly move from one screen to another. They're armed with a pistol and try to react to the many surprises that spring up.
