Appreciation towards GSM Project for providing the following description:
There are some habitats on Earth that are beyond human reach: either extinct or invisible to the naked eye, they cannot truly be recreated. Global creative group GSM Studios brings these hidden areas of the natural world to life with Exploria. Exploria is a large-scale experience project that combines education and entertainment. It has five themed worlds in a 10,000-square-meter space, allowing visitors to immerse themselves in them and embark on a fascinating journey of exploration to learn about hundreds of wonderful and often unexpected species. Located within Mandai Wildlife Reserve, Singapore’s wildlife and nature destination, Exploria further enriches the destination with a permanent indoor experience. It uses immersive environments to reveal the invisible side of nature. Visitors will explore from prehistoric times and extreme habitats to microscopic ecosystems and the mysterious depths of the ocean. Exploria was developed by Mandai Wildlife Group and covers an area of 10,000 square meters. It is one of the largest nature-themed multimedia experience projects in Southeast Asia. There are no live animals in Exploria, but rather an immersive experience of the natural world through digital visual content and narrative. The project focuses on ecosystems that are almost inaccessible to humans, giving visitors the opportunity to get to know species that rarely appear in popular media. As people gain a better understanding of the fragile ecological balance in Earth’s most remote environments, they will also recognize the importance of supporting conservation efforts and become advocates for biodiversity conservation.
Some habitats on Earth are beyond human reach: whether extinct or simply invisible to the naked eye, they are impossible to recreate. Global creative group GSM Studios has brought these hidden realms of the natural world into clear view with Exploria, a spectacular educational and entertainment attraction that immerses visitors in five thematic worlds across 10,000 m2, inviting them on a fascinating journey to discover hundreds of wonderous, often surprising species. Located within the Mandai Wildlife Reserve, Singapore’s wildlife and nature destination, Exploria expands the destination’s offering with a permanent indoor experience. It reveals nature’s invisible side through immersive environments. Visitors journey from prehistoric eras and extreme habitats to microscopic ecosystems and the mysterious depths of the ocean. Developed by Mandai Wildlife Group, Exploria is one of Southeast Asia’s largest nature-themed multimedia attractions at 10,000 m2. Exploria features no living animals. Instead, it offers an immersive encounter with the natural world through digital visuals and storytelling. Focusing on ecosystems that are nearly impossible for humans to access, Exploria gives visitors the opportunity to discover species rarely featured in popular media. As they gain a better understanding of the fragile balance of Earth’s most remote environments, visitors learn of the importance of supporting conservation efforts, becoming agents of change for biodiversity.

“Exploria grew out of Mandai Wildlife Group’s vision to create a nature-themed experience that both enlightens and educates the public, while balancing rigorous scientific content with the immersive power of themed entertainment,” explains Nathanaël Meyer, executive creative director at GSM Studios. “The narratives we develop are truly rooted in the present: engaging, inspiring and ethically aware, and at times deeply emotional.” Fiona Ng, Managing Director, GSM Studios Singapore Adding: “GSM worked with Mandai Wildlife Group from the earliest stages of the project. Our team developed the concept, led the design and worked closely with Mandai to manage and produce every component of the experience, right through to final installation. Our role was to coordinate a joint team of international creative and technical experts, as well as architects, contractors and suppliers, to deliver a fully integrated experience.”

At the center of Exploria is Our Interconnected World, which serves as a hub space from which visitors can freely explore the five worlds throughout the project. At its core, a giant digital sphere is activated through the multimedia performance Our Planet Awakens, symbolizing the interconnectedness of all life on Earth. Rather than being realistically recreated, each world is designed to be a living, archetypal environment—dynamic, imaginative, and intentionally interpretive. This creative approach allows GSM Studios to create surprising and stunning environments that encourage exploration while still being grounded in science. Realm of the Giants: A monumental, sculptural environment that recreates the true scale of Earth’s extinct giants, from dinosaurs to other extraordinary creatures of the Mesozoic Era. Augmented reality installations allow visitors to come “face to face” with these long-lost species, while a 360-degree multi-sensory show traces the evolution of life on Earth over hundreds of millions of years and raises public awareness of mass extinction phenomena.

Let technology serve science
Technology at the service of science
Mandai Wildlife Group’s mission is to inspire people’s curiosity about the natural world and thereby build public support for biodiversity conservation. To stimulate this curiosity and encourage visitors to explore all 250 species represented in the project, Exploria uses a central gamification ecosystem powered by RFID technology as the core support for the interactive narrative of the entire experience. Visitors can activate a personalized Explorer profile through a digital avatar, unlock missions, collect badges of discovered species, complete challenges, and record their exploration progress in Exploria’s five immersive worlds. Based on a concept originally developed by GSM Studios and Mandai Wildlife Group, Montreal-based interactive studio Dpt. was responsible for designing and producing Exploria’s 87 interactive installations, working with Singaporean partner Electronics & Engineering Pte Ltd. By integrating hours of hyper-realistic wildlife media content and developing interactive missions and game systems, Dpt. makes these environments truly come alive at every level of the tour, transforming scientific exploration into an engaging and engaging experience. Nathanaël Meyer concluded: “With Exploria, GSM Studios hopes to inspire a deeper love for the living world. Technology serves knowledge and emotion, supporting a fun, entertaining and engaging experience. By presenting these species in a context that is neither a zoo nor a regular screen, Exploria introduces a new form of experience – one that we hope will inspire future experiences around the world.”
