Who we are

All it took was a pandemic.

“So….what if we make a theatrical escape room with interactive, live actors?”

“So….what if we make a theatrical escape room with interactive, live actors?”

We (Calvin Kai Ku, Alex Smith, and Becca Chapman) are three professional performers. Like so many other artists during the pandemic, we were determined to find a way to still create, write, and perform for a live audience. We knew that we had to find the box in order to think outside of it, so we used the structures and limitations of Zoom (and later other web conferencing technology) as creative restrictions to push against for interactive storytelling. We then started expanding our skillsets, and can create escape experiences within any interface!

We look forward to creating more experiences for you!
