A world of poorly executed, over-hyped, spent most of the money on marketing experience.

What? People using AI suck at making stuff irl? That's new, I didn't know that.
Probably asked AI to put together the shopping list for the event.
Heard about this on My Brother My Brother and Me - sounded like an Ai fever dream, lol
BBC tracked down the guy behind it and found that he had 17 self-published books on Amazon. According to the reviews they’re total nonsense that’s clearly written by AI.
Voidzilla also went over this a bit, it's a good watch: https://youtu.be/QEG9gvHekEo?si=LODHrwT2Jo7tQUO1

Yeah, there are some nice articles from the BBC on this, including one with the person playing that masked-character. The dialogue/story for actresses/actors was apparently LLM-gibberish as well.
But did it have a ball pit?
That's immediately what I thought of
Same energy as dashcon
Some more fun facts:
The tickets costed 40£ each
Not just the promotional images, but also the scripts for the actors were AI generated
The AI also created a whole new character called the unnamed (Edit: unknown, not unnamed), a shadowy chocolate-maker who became evil and lives inside the walls
Edit: Also they didn’t have any chocolate and each guest only got a single jelly bean and a 6cl shot of lemonade
I think the evil chocolate maker that lives in the walls was called The Unknown
My mistake

I actually wanted to post that character, but I wasn't sure anyone would know what it was. It's so bizarre.
Genuinely, The Unnamed is still a more logical extension of the Willy Wonka lore than the actual sequel book, which involves a plot by shapeshifting aliens to take over a space hotel, Willy Wonka being declared an enemy of the state by the president of the US, and confectionery that can alter time itself.
They are making a horror movie about the unnamed I read somewhere
Bound to be a masterpiece!
