It was simply amazing. This is my kind of offsite. An immersive interactive experience. The 30 minutes flew by. It was over far too soon.The set was immaculately done. Some people thought the elevator was a real elevator. They wondered where we were going. My favorite thing was that the computers actually worked. They weren't non-functionally props. They didn't just light up. They worked like they do on the show. Were they really the computers they use on the show? They were too well done for something they would only use for a 4 day offsite. Not only was the set well done, but they encouraged people to interact with it. It wasn't just there to be looked at. I found that I suck at macrodata refinement.The actors were superb. They were not simply performing a script. They knew the lore. Someone in our group tried to correct one of the actors on the name of a painting. The painting was not even part of the narrative. It was a random event. The actor without hesitation was able to explain in detail why what that person said was incorrect. He was like an instructor in art school. It wasn't just something he made up. It was coherent with the canon of the show.I think they increased the size of each group to put more people through. For people that did it on Thursday, how big was the size of your group? Today, there weren't enough chairs in the conference room for everyone and everyone couldn't fit in the elevator at the same time. There was a short standby line. Enough for 1 or maybe 2 groups. I think it was good of them to say that everyone in the standby line would be able to go through. I talked to some and they had been there since 5:30 - 6:30 that morning. I'm glad Apple rewarded their dedication.Did anyone go to the break room? What was it like?
Our whole group ended up barging into the security room and we all starting flipping switches right away. I don't think the actor was ready for that lmao
Isn't that what we were supposed to do? That's what my group did as well.
I had the O&D guy pull me aside when I was in the room. He discussed the painting on the wall with me, then took me into a corner where he showed me 'the book' he had found and how it was raising all of these ideas in his head. He told me how to get into the security room and to look for evidence of what was going on.
I'm not sure, from everyone else that I talked to that did it, either only one or two people got shown the security room or nobody did at all and it remained closed. The first people through in our group just opened the door and we all piled in.
Our whole group was led into the security room and a couple of us were chosen to help with the overtime contingency and right as we were about to execute it, the guy from the next area (the smile zone) barged in and admonished the actor helping us, telling him he's gonna end up in the break room if he continues.Did everyone's picture have a map on the back? I only noticed it because the picture wasn't completely in the folio and I was putting it in properly and noticed. A great detail that seems incredibly easy to miss.
For those wondering, they told us at the panel that most of that offsite was the actual props and sets from the show and they did mention that those were the real computers that they used and that they were totally functional
I missed the "goat room" but saw everything else.

Interesting, our smile room actor was the same one that interacted with us in the security room.
