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.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

APG holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Prepare for Impact has 2K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 82% of Prepare for Impact's written reviews are positive against 0% of APG's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Prepare for Impact ships an update every 2 months, APG every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
