Nextfriend

Nextfriend is redefining haunted attractions with cutting-edge AI-powered interactive technology that turns props, animatronics, and environments into living, responsive experiences.

Their flagship system, Nextfriend Core™, acts as a universal AI brain — giving characters the ability to speak in real time, react to guests, and evolve over time without relying on pre-recorded audio or static triggers.

From AI-driven animatronics to interactive props and projection mapping, Nextfriend creates dynamic experiences that feel alive. Their showcase creation, Bone Daddy™, demonstrates this power with a fully interactive skeleton that listens and responds live to guests.

Built for reliability and scalability, Nextfriend helps haunts and attractions move beyond static scenes — and into unforgettable, intelligent storytelling that keeps guests coming back year after year.
