The Challenge

First, a live immersive production. Then adapted as an online audience on Zoom. Now, this new phase of creation wanted to introduce a new take on how theatre can embrace VR gaming technology. Purpose? To enhance the experience for the audience. From anywhere in the world.

The Solution

Some exciting features:

interact with full-motion video performances by professional actor
interactivity as both single and multi-player
live-action scenes and interactive 3D spaces in one game
interrogate suspects, analyse crime scenes, and construct a case in you 'Mind Fortress'

Will you solve the baffling case in time? Can you call on your friends for help? And where is Sherlock anyway? The answers are far from elementary.
