The unique concept, which includes six immersive adventures, is the brainchild of Tough Mudder founder Will Dean. From the press release:

Guests will be able to play the hottest new arcade-style games, and work together to complete a number of challenges, including a Pacman inspired adventure, mining for rare minerals on Mars or battling ghosts for access to treasure. A funky soundtrack sets the mood as you move through each level, getting more challenging throughout the game.
