Random consensual kidnapping

Was having a conversation that got me thinking, do those kidnapping services actually exist? Like the ones you pay people and randomly they will kidnap you? And if so what are peoples thoughts about them? I’m sure if done right it could be fun but seems like a big potential for something to go wrong or awkwardness

I remember seeing a website that had this sort of concept.
I don't think it was anything more than a marketing stunt, but here's a VICE article if you're interested.

Interesting, it wasn’t quite like that that I’ve seen before, it was like a real service of people you’d hire to kidnap you. I seem to remember it might’ve been based in Paris

Heard about this but don't think anything came out of this app and don't think it even exists.

It was just a marketing stunt for a book so I doubt there was an app. The website did exist though

I don't believe kidnApp was ever intented to be a real product, but it was certainly interesting
