It’s beginning to look a lot like immersive-ness
Hey folks, we’re sliding right into year-end mode here at NoPro, as December moves along. Hopefully you’ll be able to catch another show or two before Christmas break?
January is on the horizon and we have lots planned for you all, like more AMA’s with creators coming soon. If you’re interested in participating, get your Slack invite right here!
And as always, if you have a need for real-time links, news, banter, and general immersive tomfoolery, follow us on Twitter at @noproscenium.
THIS WEEK ON THE PODCAST
Tommy Honton wears a lot of hats: escape room designer, founding member of LEIA, and now the co-creator of The Museum of Selfies, a gloriously self-aware “Instagram Museum” which is opening up in the immersive-friendly SoCal city of Glendale.
We talk with Tommy about the very real, and very tongue in cheek, themes of the Museum and about his upcoming escape room “Stash House,” which is coming out of testing.
Get ready for one of THOSE episodes.
