The Willy Wonka Experience opens in SimCity! Gamer recreates the failed immersive event in The Sims – as users joke ‘you probably spent more time making this than they put into the event’

It hit international headlines this week after being dubbed the ‘world’s worst immersive experience.’

And now a gamer has hilariously recreated the Willy Wonka Experience in The Sims. 

Just like the real event, The SimCity version features a dismally empty warehouse and a sad-looking Oompa Loompa. 

Delighted fans have flocked to social media to discuss the recreation, which has amassed more than three million views since being posted on Wednesday. 

‘You probably spent more time making this than they put into the event,’ one user joked. 

The ‘immersive’ Willy Wonka event took place in Glasgow last weekend, and promised ‘a universe where your dreams come true’. 

However, irate parents slammed the £35-a-ticket event in Glasgow as ‘an absolute shambles’ after they arrived and were greeted with a near-empty warehouse with a few Wonka-themed props and a small bouncy castle. 

Just hours after it hit the headlines, X user @imcxllumbtw recreated the ‘shambles’ in The Sims. 

‘The §35 Willy Wonka experience has officially opened in SimCity,’ they tweeted, alongside two photos of the recreation. 

The first image shows the near-empty warehouse, while the second shows a glum-looking woman dressed as an Oompa Loompa, conducting a science experiment. 

According to its creator, the SimCity version only took 30 minutes to create, which one user suggested was ‘probably about twice as long’ as the time spent on the original event. 

The Sims isn’t the only game to host a recreation of the Willy Wonka Experience. 

Yesterday, one user brought the event to life in Animal Crossing: New Horizons. 

X user @haztecamarera posted a series of photos of his gamified version, including the actor who played Willy Wonka, the Oompa Loompa, and even the bizarre ‘Unknown’ character. 

‘Absolutely brilliant work,’ one fan responded, while another added: ‘This is modern art, thank you for your service.’

One user even suggested that the event could be recreated in further games.

‘People should make recreations of the Wonka experience in Roblox rec room and Minecraft as well! (just gonna throw it out there),’ they tweeted.
