Abstract: A method includes receiving content that describes a mission for participants where the participants attempt to complete tasks in a physical zone. Completing the tasks may require an understanding of training materials. The method includes providing or constructing the physical zone (with physical components therein) where a mission can take place. The method includes receiving parameters about the physical zone. The parameters may describe the physical zone itself and/or one or more physical components in the physical zone. The method includes comparing the content of the mission to the parameters that describe the physical zone to determine whether the mission can be undertaken in the physical zone. If so, then the method includes presenting the mission and the physical zone as an option for the participants. The method includes controlling the physical components while the participants are undertaking the mission.
