Unusual situations require unique solutions. Historic Space Systems can adapt actual cockpit designs to fit particular needs.
Escape Hunt Houston wanted accurate Apollo cockpits for their Apollo 13 Houston, We’ve Had a Problem experience. But the cockpits had to fit into small rooms and allow for Game Maker access.
Historic Space Systems worked with Escape Hunt Houston to design control panels and cockpits that met their requirements while still looking like the real thing.

modifications which allow players to solve challenging puzzles. Apollo checklists were used to identify proper switch positions to be used in the puzzles. Couch assembly is from a passenger
aircraft.
