Live your best life on the vacation of your dreams — unique and made just for you! gold extra takes you to dream beaches and cities: In the AI live theatre HOLIDAI, dreams come so true that you’ll wish you didn’t have to wake up. Risks and side effects included.

Everything begins in the best time of the year — on vacation: AI chatbots meet CNN over an alcopop in an AirBnB. Here, smart home technology, crime noir, and the perfect holiday blend together.

HOLIDAI – The freedom you need! Everything here is tailored to your personal wishes and offers adventure depending on your mood. Join in and explore the surprises waiting in the place of dreams. Step into the AI escape room and take part in an experience that is created anew each time — together with the audience.   

How did we get here? Smart devices took over our navigation, playlists decided our music taste, ChatGPT finishes our work, and our passport photos come from Midjourney. Smart watches, smart homes, and artificial intelligence smoothly guide us through life. HOLIDAI takes a sharp look at the AI that takes so much off our hands — so that we finally have time for something else. But for what? What kind of experiences do we have without glitches, mistakes, or getting lost? In gold extra’s interactive play, the smart devices have taken care of that too. HOLIDAI is the sum of all vacation thrillers that could only ever happen to you.
