QUESTION: What's an augmented cinema experience?
ANSWER: WILLY WONKY is an augmented, immersive, follow-along cinema experience, with commentary, jokes, and facts showing up pop-up video style to make you laugh. We also have prompts for the audience as a whole to speak along with, such as suggested moments to "Boooo!" our villain!
Additionally, fun and silly theatrics such as lighting, lasers, bubbles, scents, etc. are utilized when appropriate to enhance the moment, and the follow-along goodie bags are filled with toys and candy to help you celebrate moments too!

QUESTION: It also comes with interactive goodie bags? What's that mean?
ANSWER: Your ticket comes with a goodie bag at the door filled with treats and toys to help you celebrate the experience's special moments in order!
Use the bag as you chose OR follow our pop-up directions to interact with the goodies as an audience. (For example, a wedding moment could prompt the audience to throw the provided rice in their goodie bags!)
QUESTION: Is this an event for children?
ANSWER: Although WILLY WONKY is a PG (PG-13 if you chose to explain two of the jokes to advanced readers) experience appropriate for all ages!
