ABOUT

French broadcaster France Télévisions wanted to promote the launch of Season 2 of their TV series The Witnesses (“Les Témoins”). We were brought in with a mission to leverage immersive technologies to bring the audience closer to the story of Emilie S., a character from the show.

Emilie has been locked in a basement, abused and tortured. There, she gave birth to her captor’s baby, who kidnapped him and left Emilie for dead.

We designed a groundbreaking escape room where two players collaborate across time & space dimensions to save Emilie.

To do so, both players step into a (real) set recreation of the basement where Emilie was held. One player explores the physical space, whilst their partner - fitted with an HTC Vive - enters Emilie’s tortured mind in VR. To find Emilie, players need to communicate & interact with objects in both the real and virtual realms until both realities become inextricably locked together...

Work together. Solve the mystery. Save Emilie.
