Event Link

Experience a site-specific theatre piece/alternate reality game, inspired by classic adventure video games (nominated for a B. Iden Payne in 2015 for Outstanding Theatrical Experience). You will travel to mystery locations in Austin to find objects such as letters, photographs, and home movies in search of your missing friend, Henry Combs. Break into homes! Steal crystals! Read dream journals!

This experience was last presented during SXSW as part of Meow Wolf Outside.

This experience can be completed alone or in a small group on your own time (within the month of September). It usually takes 3–5 hours, and can be completed in one day or spread out over the month. Works best with a smartphone, but a small number of “lo-fi” versions will be available upon request. A deaf and hard of hearing version will also be available upon request. You will need to drive to 2 locations in opposite parts of Austin.
