Halo: Outpost Discovery

Halo: Outpost Discovery is an interactive experience developed by 343 Industries, designed to allow Halo fans to experience the Halo universe in a number of unique ways, including a museum, theatres, VR, gameplay and more. The experience is currently set to tour several locations in North America through the summer of 2019.

Setting
Halo: Outpost Discovery is framed through the in-universe "Outpost Discovery", an event hosted by the post-war UNSC to encourage civilians on Earth to learn about humanity and the galaxy at large. Players are able to interact with two SPARTAN-III characters, Owen-B096 and Hazel-A302.

Hall of History
''The beating heart of Halo: Outpost Discovery is the Hall of History, where you immerse yourself in the achievements and tribulations of humanity through a combination of informative graphics, artifacts, and tangible visuals pulled directly from the Halo franchise. Featuring everything from United Nations Space Command (UNSC) weapons and accessories, uniforms, an iconic to-scale Warthog vehicle, life-sized sculptures, and more. This exuberant, visceral tour of the Halo universe is the perfect introduction to your journey. In the Hall of History, new and experienced Halo fans alike find something to discover.''

The Ring Experience
''The Ring Experience lets attendees explore the story of the mysterious Halo Array through artifacts that leap off the levels and pages of some of your favorite Halo titles. At the center of the Ring Experience is a visually immersive, multi-projector, dome-based theatrical experience, featuring a never-before-seen exploration of a Halo ring, giving fans a brand-new appreciation for the sheer scale and magnitude of these ancient installations.''

Covenant Escape
''Explore a reclaimed section of a Covenant ship in this escape-room-style experience. Here, attendees aim to familiarize themselves on various high-risk boarding maneuvers and strategies commonly undertaken by the UNSC. As the challenges intensify, guests must work together to disable the Covenant technology as quickly as possible in order to set themselves free!''

Combat Deck
''Experience the rush of playing Halo in “real life” with this Halo-themed laser tag Combat Deck. Danger is present around every corner, as attendees and their squadmates must use their cunning and coordination to win this fast-paced, team-based, pulse-pounding activity. Two teams of up to twenty go head-to-head for a chance to claim victory in the ultimate “Big Team Battle” experience!''

Training Grounds (VR)
Through the lens of virtual reality, teams of three will simulate what it takes to be a Spartan, in an immersive, Halo themed combat training environment.
