Floor 44
Floor 44 is a Queer “Choose-Your-Own-Adventure”, Immersive-Theater-Play With Transmedial Real-World Influences, or in other words: Theatre-Karoke with a Transmedial scavenger hunt, choices and puzzles. Three players take over the role of the actors, while one player will be “the director”, a benevolent guide, moderator and in-universe character. The Director will read the scene setup and stage directions for the other players to follow and entertain with prepared short stories and improvisation during downtime. If the stage directions are met, the Director can reward players for remarkable performances with additional choices leading to rarer scenes. Next to these solo-choices, there are also group choices where all players decide and influence the story’s course. During an intermission between scenes, the players get clues to go on a scavenger hunt, both inside the game as well as outside including the extended-universe material such as audio-dramas and actual social-media profiles.
