You would be offering a product defined by what it didn't provide, rather than what it did (i.e no internet and no cell reception).

I can't think of a similar offer, since it's something you can achieve for yourself (given enough willpower) just by turning off your phone and not taking a device.

Would people pay for something they can have for free? Many wouldn't for sure, but would many? Even if they lacked the will power, would they be too embarrassed to admit they needed your service?

If there are no similar businesses that could be a sign it won't work.

People pay for group workout sessions though. They can work out by themselves but they pay to get their motivation up.
