An Orlando holiday can include the experiences someone has dreamed about for years and something they never expected to try. Beyond the landmark parks and familiar favorites, Decision Tactical invites visitors to step into an adventure where their instincts, communication, and decisions become part of the action.
Set in North Orlando, the 43,000-square-foot indoor attraction combines realistic environments, interactive technology, and instructor-led missions. Guests become the players in an experience that feels like stepping inside a real-world video game, with guidance throughout and no live fire or projectiles.
For Remo Eyal, Co-founder and CEO of Decision Tactical, the concept begins with what happens when people encounter the unexpected.
“Pressure has a way of showing people who they are,” he says. “When they come here, they see how they think and whether they are ready when something unexpected happens.”
For holidaymakers, that translates into an opportunity to try something unfamiliar, share an adventure, and perhaps surprise themselves along the way.
Stepping into the story
The appeal becomes clear once guests enter the environments. They have surroundings to explore, details to notice, and decisions to make. Listening to a companion or spotting something across the room can influence their next move.
The anticipation is part of the experience. Visitors may have an idea of how they would respond to a challenge, then discover that putting those instincts into practice feels quite different.
“Decisions shape what happens,” observes Eyal. “The emotional response feels surprisingly real even though the environment is controlled.”
Instructors introduce guests to the equipment and activities, helping first-timers get comfortable before the missions begin. No prior experience is required.
“You don’t have to arrive feeling like the adventurous one,” says Mayra Pettus, Director of Sales at Decision Tactical. “Sometimes, the best part is giving something a go and realising you’re enjoying yourself more than you expected. Having someone guide you through those first steps makes a difference.”
Familiar settings, unexpected challenges
Decision Tactical’s environments draw on places visitors recognise, including a street, a diner, and a shopping mall. That familiarity gives the action a relatable setting: guests can picture being there in everyday life, even as the mission introduces something unexpected.
Across the attraction, scenario-based activities and competitive courses bring different skills into play. Some challenges call for observation and communication, while others test speed and precision. The experience gives participants opportunities to explore how they think, move, and work together under pressure.
“A setting you recognise makes the experience feel immediate,” says Pettus. “You could be out for a meal or shopping with friends, and suddenly you’re paying closer attention. You come for an exciting adventure, but it can also give you a fresh perspective on the places you spend time every day.”
For travelling companions, the experience introduces another element: discovering how each person approaches the same challenge. One person may notice details, another takes charge, and someone else reveals a competitive streak nobody saw coming.
The training-room observation that inspired the attraction
Although Decision Tactical welcomes leisure visitors, its origins lie in a question about professional training: how could an immersive environment give participants more freedom to respond naturally?
Eyal traces the concept back to a visit to a Central Florida law enforcement agency, where officers used a sophisticated, 360-degree screen-based simulator. According to his account, conversations with the officers revealed a limitation. They could make decisions within the scenarios, but their ability to move and respond physically was restricted.
“The camera perspective moved while trainees stayed planted,” Eyal explains. “If a threat appeared, officers couldn’t move through the environment. They couldn’t reposition or use cover as they would outside the simulator.”
For Eyal, the observation raised a design challenge: create an environment that could accommodate people’s actions more naturally.
“That day showed us that the system shouldn’t force trainees to adapt to the simulator,” he says. “The simulator should adapt to the people inside it.”
That thinking helped shape an approach built around physical environments, movement, and interaction. Bringing the experience to life also required attention to the smaller details that make a setting believable.
“We needed guests to be able to suspend disbelief,” Eyal notes. “To make this happen, every sound and interaction needed to work together.”
Those professional training roots inform the attraction, while its leisure experiences introduce the concept to everyday adventurers through guided missions and shared challenges.
What guests take home
Some visitors arrive for the thrill of becoming the hero of their own mission. Others are curious about how they would respond when there’s little time to think. Both can leave with something to discuss.
There are the quick decisions, the unexpected reactions, and the moments everyone remembers differently. Over a meal at the on-site kitchen and bar, those details can become the beginnings of a holiday story.
“You might come with someone you’ve known for years and see a completely different side of them,” says Pettus. “That gives you plenty to talk about afterward. And when someone leaves saying, ‘I didn’t know I could do that,’ there’s something lovely about that little boost of confidence becoming part of their holiday.”
Eyal also points to feedback from law enforcement professionals who recognise the thinking behind the facility. He recalls officers finishing training sessions and thanking the team, with some telling him they had “always wanted a place like this.”
For leisure travellers, the invitation is to explore that unusual combination of adventure and practical awareness for themselves. The indoor setting offers an outing independent of the weather, while different experience packages give visitors options to consider around their Orlando plans.
The result is an attraction with a story behind its design and room for guests to create a story of their own. Explore experiences and plan a visit at decisiontactical.com.
