Bridge Command – Mission: Intrigue

Bridge Command was a fully immersive experience from the moment you step inside. The actors and staff actively encourage you to engage and make the experience your own. Upon arrival at the venue, conveniently located near Vauxhall station, you’re asked to suit up in your uniform, preparing for your mission.

Next, you’re taken through a “teleportation” sequence, which transports you to a new area: the bar. While the teleportation effect is very cool, it involves a lot of flashing lights. If you’re sensitive to this type of lighting or have any conditions affected by flashing lights, it’s a good idea to inform the staff beforehand, which they also check for before entry.

The bar itself is fully decked out in a space-themed design. The bartenders were cheerful and chatty, making it a great opportunity to meet the other members of your crew before embarking on the mission together.

Afterward, you’re taken to the debriefing room, where you learn the storyline and objectives of your mission. The transition onto the ship was incredibly immersive as you walk past sleep pods, electric fuel supplies, air chambers, and finally into the flight room, where you’ll take control of the craft.

Each person is assigned a different role, encouraging cooperation, teamwork, and communication with your fellow crew members. I was in charge of missiles and weapons, while others took on roles like engineering, piloting, commanding the ship as captain, or handling communications.

Each participant is given a quick briefing on how to operate their station and what their duties entail. The mission itself was straightforward, but the sense of teamwork and being part of a crew felt like something straight out of Star Trek. The cast leaves it up to you to decide how to approach the mission, which adds to the overall immersion.

One of the cool features is that you can earn ranks based on your achievements during the mission. Your progress is tracked, and when you return for another mission, you’ll continue from where you left off, making it a dynamic, level-up experience.

Overall, Bridge Command was a thoroughly fun experience, offering a range of missions, including child-friendly options. Each experience can vary based on the mission type, your rank, and the crew members you’re paired with, making it a unique adventure every time.

This is an experience that depends entirely on you and the choices you make, and it’s a lot of fun to take flight in a spaceship!
