KFC's newly remodeled restaurant has been altered to enable guests to participate in the virtual reality seminar the brand uses to train its employees, titled 'The Hard Way.'
The game, which was initially designed to teach employees how to properly cook fried chicken has been modified to allow for public participation and now features a digital escape room, from which the player must make their way out of. In order to win the game, players must successfully cook the fried chicken, with the help of a virtual Colonel Sanders.
Other than the virtual reality element, this restaurant, located in Overland Park, Kansas, also features a customized interior, an exclusive menu and a statue of Colonel Sanders that's perfect for taking selfies with.
