Aim: Help us develop an online adventure game. An immersive murder mystery using new tech to put you in the game & to keep us in ours.
A topical comedy encased in an immersive digital game: challenging, fun and uniquely original entertainment.
is genre busting theatre-meets-online gaming that you can play on any device.
Players will be drawn into a real time thriller, become investigators and race to solve a shadowy murder case.
It’s an exciting murder mystery meets surreal black comedy, that turns up at your doorstep, wanders round your house or drags you out to the local park.
The game will use dynamic QR code technology to weave the gameplay journey through physical and digital spaces, tying up elements such as physical documents, outside spaces, original music and surreal musical numbers or social media posts.
The development of Interrobang will put you at the center of the game and it will keep us in ours.
Support the development of the pilot and choose to:
Pilot shows will be held in April 2021.
We’re an immersive theatre company who put the audience at the heart of the stories and experiences we make. For the past 15 years we’ve been creating truly interactive, site-specific theatrical experiences and interactive games for clients including Google, Cadbury’s, Dior, Hermes, Heineken, Cirque du Soleil and Penguin. Our work's seen us delivering entertainment in unusual and elaborate locations such as onboard a transatlantic flight via Iceland, or in the Palace of Versailles.
Recently we were behind the ‘Hail a Panto” doorstep pantomime for clients FreeNow that made headline news this winter and now we’re taking our storytelling and entertainment skills to an online audience. Teaming up with tech and broadcast innovators Winkball/Touch TV we're currently developing this bold experiment in interactive and non-linear storytelling that you can play at home or in physical locations, alone or in a team.
Our work’s very varied, from city wide treasure hunts to fun hands-on education in museums. We are used to producing entertaining events & experiences from ridiculous public sports days or swanky press parties to spooky interactive shows or thought provoking installations..
Players join a squad of investigators, who badly need help.
Drawn into a thriller they follow leads, work out who to trust, and solve a case- with their ‘superior officers’ keeping them on track, or way off it! Trust no-one.
It offers a unique experience full of puzzles, challenges, interviews and characters who entertain and intrigue. You can make it home based or street based, you decide.
This is theatre away from the theatre and gaming away from the console.
Then you will love Interrobang‽
Support us to allow us to bring our entertaining skills all the way to your home. Pledge your support now and be one of the first to play in April.
You might choose a golden ticket to play or a simple donation to the project.
In return for your support as well as preview tickets we're offering various rewards that will make you laugh, allow you to name an Interrobang character, or even have a private Interrobang‽ Party.
If you are feeling altruistic, donating to our community reward will help us to engage our local audience, in an area that has low engagement in the arts and more than its fair share of digital poverty. You might also choose a donation to pay for a local young person to play the game for free.
Or you may donate to help us to grow our relationship with our local theatre, Watermans, who will provide devices to local audiences for free and create a template for inclusive access across economic divides when the pilot is over.
We really want this to be played by a broad and diverse audience and we don’t want changing lockdown regulations, lack of tech or lack of data, fear of crowds or differences in ability to stand in the way.
So please, consider joining us on the Interrobang journey, and step into the unknown.
Each experience was unique to the audience member. …. we were allowed to become part of the narrative itself. I hope such bold work inspires similar approaches by other producers. …ground-breaking Huffington Post on Patrick Ness’s Now That You’ve Died, Roundhouse Studio for RNIB
