Participants: guests of Pine Hill Steps along the way: 10
Approximate distance: ~ 1 km
Approximate duration: 1-1.5 hours
Language of the game: Bulgarian and English
Organized by: Inner Voice for Pine Hill
In March 2025, Inner Voice implemented a special project for the Pine Hill Complex - guest houses located above the village of Chavdar, Sofia Province. As a result of this collaboration, a personalized forest game was created with a unique scenario and physical props specially designed for the complex.
The game is available for Pine Hill’s guests and aims to diversify their time, add value to their stay, and make the place an even more attractive destination for holidays and events.
The main challenges facing the project were:
- the lack of sufficient existing landmarks and interactive objects in the vicinity of the complex that could be integrated into the game
- the creation of a concept that would be sustainable, flexible, and usable all year round
- providing an experience suitable for different audiences - families with children, groups of friends, wedding parties, or guests at special events
The client was looking for a way to enrich their guests’ stay with an activity that would fill their free time, be fun, and at the same time fit naturally into the atmosphere of the complex.
Inner Voice executed the whole project for the game - from the script, finally named “The Secrets of Pine Hill,” to the final installation. The work on the game included:
- a unique scenario, created at the client’s request and tailored to the specifics of the complex and its guests
- physical props, specially designed for the game, which provide an interactive and exciting experience, regardless of the environment
- integration into a digital platform - a special subdomain was created on the complex’s website, through which the owners manage and offer the game as part of their product
In March 2025, Inner Voice completed the final installation of the project on the territory of the complex. From that moment on, the game has been available to all guests of Pine Hill in two languages - Bulgarian and English.
The format is designed to suit both individual stays and larger group programs such as:
- weddings and celebrations - the game can be included as an additional activity in the event program
- bachelorette parties and private gatherings - a great way to create memories and positive emotions
- family vacations and group stays - the game is suitable for all ages and offers an interesting alternative to standard leisure activities
The following facts can be attributed to the positive results of the game’s creation:
- The Pine Hill complex has received a unique product that has no analogue in the region, contributing to its competitive positioning.
- The game provides sustainable, year-round entertainment for guests, regardless of the season.
- The inclusion of physical props and a digital platform ensures both authenticity and ease of management for the owners.
The Pine Hill complex project proved that interactive games can be successfully implemented even in remote locations where classic urban facilities are lacking. Through a combination of creative scenarios, physical props, and digital integration, Inner Voice created an experience that increased the value of the touristic product and provided the client with a long-term solution to enrich the guests’ stay.
This project is an example of how interactive games can be transformed into a flexible tool for tourism and bring value to businesses and enjoyment to visitors.
