30 Ninjas, in collaboration with Facebook and Condé Nast Entertainment, crafted an innovative first-date experience that transcends reality. Two strangers were 3D scanned, donned motion capture suits, and immersed in a virtual reality world for a date filled with adventures, from exploring a fantasy castle to navigating an abandoned school.

Powered by the Unreal game engine, the series featured interactive environments, allowing participants to play as avatars, revisit their younger selves, and brave a virtual house of horrors. Recorded live on a 60ft motion capture stage with 24 VR levels, the series captured both real-life and virtual reactions, emotions, and connections, raising the question: Can true love be found in the midst of these extraordinary experiences?
