# Extending the xConnect collection model walkthrough series

In this walkthrough series, you set yourself up as *Sitecore Cinema* by extending the collection model to gather visitor information. By the end, you can simulate a cinema visit and see the data collected along the way. This process lets you customize what contact data you collect.

This series contains five walkthroughs that you must follow in the correct order. It takes you through the scenario, including creating contacts and interactions, setting up facets, retrieving and searching data, and creating custom facets and events, before finally running the simulation.

To prepare for and run the cinema simulation, follow these walkthroughs:
