Nova

A large-scale interactive experience where fire becomes a shared challenge. Teams synchronize rhythm and timing to master twelve towering flame stars—the technology serves the moment, not the other way around.

The Experience

Nova creates moments of collective focus and awe. The mechanics fade into the background as participants discover flow state through fire, rhythm, and teamwork. What matters isn't how it works—it's how it feels.

12 Fire Stars

Twelve flame stars surround you in a circle. Each responds to your timing—when you find the rhythm, the fire dances. Miss the beat, and you feel it.

Boomers

Thunderous concussive blasts punctuate your progress. The pressure wave hits your chest as each Boomer announces your team's achievements—or failures.

8 Rounds

Eight escalating challenges that demand increasing precision and coordination. The pressure builds, communication intensifies, and your team either finds sync or starts over.

Super Nova Finale

Master all eight rounds and earn the finale: a synchronized eruption from every star. The culmination of teamwork, timing, and trust.

Close-Up: The Fire

Single flame. Infinite possibilities.

Each of Nova's 12 fire stars burns with controlled intensity. The propane system delivers precise bursts that respond to your input in real time. Watch one flame and you understand the whole system—synchronized, responsive, alive.

The fire isn't just visual. Feel the heat on your face, hear the roar, sense the power. It's sensory immersion through pure flame.

The power isn't in the fire—it's in the shared experience.

The Crowd

Nova isn't a spectator experience—it's a collective one. People don't watch; they participate, react, celebrate together.
