This is just my two cents, but this doesn't sound as much of a typical CMS-based site as much as it is a custom, interactive-centric site that is best served by a custom script, built for the job.
I get that you already have a WP in place, just bear in mind the old adage "When all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail"
Perhaps your (boss's) interests would be best served by taking a different approach on this matter?
