The Secret Spy Mission was delightful! What a fun and engaging addition to a well-executed school tour.

The spy school element was a fun surprise! What a creative idea and way to engage the user before arriving on campus. Loved the music. The clues and embedded videos were well-written while providing key information about the campus and culture. In the main virtual tour, the information on transportation was helpful and the school's long history was evident. The drone footage was stunning.

This virtual tour was incredibly engaging! The animated buttons, video clips, and additional photo galleries throughout allowed me to feel as though I truly stepped into the space. The imagery was stunning, but even more importantly, was supported by content that told a story of student outcomes — allowing prospective parents to see how the school would support their child's aspirations for successful futures.

The short videos featuring students and faculty bring life to the spaces and allow the viewer to see how the spaces are used throughout the year. Adding files like the lunch menu, viewbook, and sound effects helped to make this tour stand out.

From the opening showreel to the watercolor painting of the school campus, this virtual tour captured the classrooms and the feel of the school without having to step foot on the campus — which is the purpose of a virtual tour video. Well done, Sun Valley Community School!

This virtual tour was appealing because it let me explore at my own pace with a helpful navigation menu I could easily return to. I was able to move around campus with ease and click to read more about areas that were of specific interest to me, as well as scroll through engaging photo galleries. The illustrated campus map was beautifully done!

What stood out to me about this particular virtual tour was that it provided the perfect blend of independent exploration and guided dialogue. I was not left fumbling around or wondering where to go next — there was a clear pathway and the option to move at my own pace. I finished the tour feeling informed and welcomed as a prospective parent and knew exactly what to do next in the admissions process.
