Interactive game design system

A method of simulating an interactive physical environment comprising:

• positioning a physical actuator within the interactive physical environment;
• generating, via a processing element, a digital representation of the interactive physical environment including a virtual actuator in a digital location, wherein the virtual actuator is representative of the physical actuator;
• generating, via the processing element, a virtual command for an action of the virtual actuator;
• translating, via the processing element, the virtual command into a physical signal for the physical actuator;
• and
• outputting, via the processing element, the physical signal to the physical actuator.

A method for simulating guest interactions within a physical interactive environment comprising:

• generating a digital twin of the physical interactive environment, the digital twin comprising a plurality of virtual actuators corresponding to physical actuators positioned within the physical interactive environment, wherein the plurality of virtual actuators are configured to vary environmental characteristics based on a guest input and creative constraints;
• providing a plurality of guest inputs to the plurality of virtual actuators, wherein the plurality of guest inputs are different from one another;
• and
• outputting data corresponding to the varied environmental characteristics and creative constraints based on the provided plurality of guest inputs.
