Description
The face of warfare has changed again. Advances in technology have moulded the battlefield and triggered changes to the Laws of War, placing civilians at the heart of military decision making. As tech giant Polemos seeps its way into the world's militaries, a civil uprising gives birth to a rebel force. Immerse yourself in the battlefield of the future and make real-time decisions in the heat of war. Save lives or take them, all from the apparent safety of the control room. Join the fight. In a world where technology rules, you are vital.Please note that while all media gallery content is provided by verified members of the event, the Edinburgh Festival Fringe Society does not review or approve this content before it is posted.

My son's Fringe highlight. A really smart and exciting production with challenging tasks and strategy games, fine acting and real ideas behind it. Loved it.

Wishing I could give more than five stars! Thought provoking, full of adrenaline and very immersive. Be willing to explore difficult themes and to become part of the story. The cast are super talented and passionate and the sets are amazing. I went back to play the other room and would highly recommend seeing both rooms! You get to do a lot in an hour but I still wish it had lasted longer :D

Fascinating experience…not something I would normally choose - yet was completely engrossed. Very sorry when it was over. Need to juggle my plans so I can go again and be in the other room. Apparently there are 100s of different versions depending on the choices each room makes. Never the same twice! Highly recommended

Thoroughly worth the wander down to the venue! The players in this exude passion for what they do and it’s really interesting chatting with them and the army cadet personnel afterwards about the moral implications of the show. Seriously thought provoking but great fun.

Unique and fascinating experience. An insight into the military decision making process where you can be in control, or step back and watch what unfolds. Never been to anything like it before but it was brilliant and very clever!

So immersive it was even a bit scary for me, but only in the best way possible (bring a friend if you're timid). The players really take you in. Thought-provoking. Don't read any spoilers and just go ;)

Like being dropped smack bang in the middle of a video game! The audience gets to decide what happens in this exciting immersive experience. Gripping and thought-provoking escapism. Loved it.

This is an amazing immersive show, hard to describe without giving spoilers but it's scary, makes you think about how conflicts are managed, and makes the participants responsible for what happens. The audience are divided into 2 groups who experience the conflict from opposite sides, so we're going to see it again from the other perspective.

An experience that you really need to do yourself to really understand it. This is not the sort of thing that I would normally choose but they have built such a layered world that you get swept into from the very beginning. It made me feel so many different emotions during my time with them and I just HAD to return to experience the other side. BIG RECOMMENDATION!

Really engaging, perfect venue for that show. A nice break from "passive" Fringe watching...
