Moonshiners
The Artemis Lab created an online event inspired by the 1920's prohibition era. Part performance and part escape room, audiences joined William McCoy's gang of rogues to smuggle illegal moonshine over the border.
Description
The Artemis Lab designed an online event offer as a fun alternative to the usual office night out for 'remote' Christmas parties.
Guests were recruited to join a moonshine smuggling operation led by the charismatic bootlegger William McCoy, also know as the 'real' McCoy, known throughout America for producing the purest, undiluted, moonshine liquor.
The event combined performance, audience interaction and gameplay to make a participatory story lasting 1 hour. Audiences were encouraged to get into character with a costume and virtual background and grab a cocktail.
Guests arrived in the Speakeasy Lounge and were taken on a 1920's themed romp helping William crack codes to smuggle the moonshine and reach the bootleggers hideout. The event culminates with a Gatsby style party.
The gameplay elements were created by Jamie Taylor.
