Overlook Film Festival
Immersive Horror Game
(The Stanley Hotel, CO // The Timberline Lodge, OR)
I conceived, designed and directed the signature Immersive Horror Game for the Overlook Film Festival from 2016-2018. A four-day interactive experiential horror experience, immersing players and Fest goers inside a living horror movie happening all around them.
“Unfolding over the entire festival weekend, The Overlook Film Festival’s signature event is a fully realized interactive horror mystery that bleeds seamlessly into the festival atmosphere. Open to all badge holders, The game permeates the entire weekend, featuring planted actors, hidden clues, tactile puzzles, and surprising twists that each player can engage with at their own comfort and interest. Those who follow the clues become the protagonists of an engaging and thrilling narrative that no two players will experience in exactly the same way. Details of the game’s story are not revealed until the festival begins. Don’t phone it in. And remember: discovering how to play is all part of the game.”
