With 80 players at a time, ‘inmates’ were charged with bribing themselves out of their cells, solving puzzles to unlock clues for the mass escape, all while interacting with in character actors.

Drawing on true stories from the site, the players were fully immersed into the game through costume, music, theatre and an unfolding story. 

Run over a limited season, the experience drew a diverse crowd and 80% of available tickets as the concept went viral. 

Without a blueprint for what something like this looked like, it was our first foray into the world of large-scale immersive and interactive design.
