Some things to consider during your visit:
1) Before your arrival, complete your team's online profile. You will also be able to do so on site so should you plan to do so, ensure to come a few minutes earlier.
2) Allow 3 hours to experience Acoatica + fishing for an optimal experience. It took some time for any of us to start catching fish. Keep that in mind. We ended up moving around based on where we thought most of the fish were. If you are having trouble, do not hesitate to ask the staff for some assistance.
3) On site, each participant will receive an RFID bracelet which will be associated to their team’s profile. For each new adventure, you will need to swipe your bracelet in the appropriate check-in booth in order to start the adventure.
4) Ensure to follow the instructions when it comes to the immersive experiences. For example, one of the indoor experiences advises to hold the flashlights and magnets within a specified minimum distance from the screen (sorry, I can no longer recall the actual distance) for them to work effectively!
