“As the experience economy continues to surge, brands are looking to Falcon’s Attractions to help them deliver the next generation of experience that combines both physical and digital entertainment. By expanding our portfolio of attractions and technologies, we are solidifying our foothold at the forefront of our industry and stand poised to meet the demand that will continue to grow into the future,” said Daryl White, EVP of Global Licensing & Business Development. “We’re excited to explore partnerships and collaborations that can put our ready-made and customizable solutions to good use to enrich and elevate narratives in transformative and exciting new ways that will create exhilarating experiences for all involved.”
Falcon’s Attractions follows other significant momentum for the company in 2024, including the January announcement of a licensing agreement with The Hershey Company. Through this expansive relationship, Falcon’s will conceive and develop Hershey-branded location based entertainment (LBE) experiences featuring the industry-leading confectionary and snack company’s iconic intellectual property (IP), in both the United States and international markets. Additionally, Falcon’s in January unveiled a deal with Tanseisha Co., Ltd., a Tokyo-based designer and creator of commercial and cultural facilities, to explore collaborating to develop new themed entertainment experiences that bring popular Japanese anime and manga IP to life through LBE, games, movies and more. In late 2023, the company also launched a historic recruitment effort for its Falcon’s Creative Group business unit, with a goal to double its headcount. The Company is in the process of hiring nearly 200 new team members to support the growth of creative projects across the globe.
