## What is Prepare for Impact?

This 3D game has been developed in the context of an international, aviation safety research project (http://hcilab.uniud.it/aviation), aimed at exploring possible new approaches to safety education, and featured on important media such as TIME, Popular Mechanics, Discovery Channel, and Fox News (see http://hcilab.uniud.it/aviation/media.html).

Prepare for Impact is the world-first game that reproduces the experience of real aircraft emergencies from the passenger’s viewpoint, with the highest fidelity allowed by today’s mobile devices. In each virtual emergency experience, the player can try first-hand right and wrong actions that a passenger can take, and see the positive or negative consequences those actions have.

Your goal is to take all the right decisions to come out from the plane unharmed as fast as possible.

The different levels of "Prepare for Impact" depict major types of emergencies, such as in-flight decompression, ground collision, runway overrun, water landing, crash landing, rejected take-off, and fumes in the cabin. Moreover, they are able to simulate the different threats that can make aircraft evacuation more complex, such as fire, smoke in the cabin, water, unusable exits, and others. The latest version of the app also includes a level editor that allows players to create personalized evacuation scenarios.

The game also offers the option of publishing your best evacuation results on world leaderboards.

Debris strike creating fuel leak causing emergency landing with failure off nose landing gear

### 4/5 — !

*2026-08-02, version 1.10.5*

Great game but needs more modes

### 3/5 — Good but

*2026-07-24, version 1.10.5*

I was playing the first level and I did everything it said but I was stuck on the seat and just go burned alive please 🙏 fix it

### 5/5 — Good

*2026-07-05, version 1.10.5*

Can you please add more

### 5/5 — The best game I have

*2026-06-19, version 1.10.5*

When I got this app it was hard at first but now it is so fun even though the graphics aren’t great it still is realistic 10/10 super good but the adds should not be there

### 3/5 — Intense but short

*2026-06-19, version 1.10.5*

It did a very good job, but it’s just too short for long term enjoyment.

### 4/5 — It’s good, but it needs some things

*2026-05-20, version 1.10.5*

This is a good game, but it needs more levels and doing level three when I stand up to leave you even though I’m close to leaving my seat it just sits me back down and says I died from the fire though I was as quick as I can and I wasn’t doing anything wrong

### 4/5 — Good games but needs some new things

*2026-05-03, version 1.10.5*

I think it needs some more customisable levels like more damage and more fire

### 5/5 — Great game but needs more levels

*2026-05-01, version 1.10.5*

Needs more updates but other than that it’s a really good with realistic scenarios and realistic plane and passengers. I segest any plane people get the game TO DEVELOPER: Please add levels. Some ideas may the plane could be higaked and you have to prepare for crash landing in land (but crew cannot tell you as the higjacter threatened them (putting yourself to the test). One more may be trying to survive ultimate turbulence ending with a horrible crash landing in the middle of the ocean

### 5/5 — Don’t stop go fast run

*2026-04-13, version 1.10.5*

Plane crash landing but run fast don’t stop in a plane
