Interrobang?! Digital<\/h1><\/div>

Merging physical and digital realities in gaming experience<\/h3>

Interrobang!? Digital is genre busting theatre-meets-online gaming, in which players are drawn into a real time thriller, become investigators and race to solve a shadowy murder case.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s an exciting murder mystery meets surreal black comedy, that turns up at your doorstep, wanders round your house and drags you into the heart of a shadowy mystery.<\/p>\n

The game uses dynamic QR code technology and a bespoke web platform to weave the gameplay through multiple digital spaces. Players delve into a database of documents and video interviews underscored with original music and the odd surreal musical number.<\/p>\n

National \/ international participants will dive into a digital world, however for local participants, the game also links physical spaces to further digital content.<\/p>\n

Interrobang!? Digital is created by Gideon Reeling who make truly interactive, site-specific theatrical experiences in which audience participation and a sense of inclusive playfulness are paramount.<\/p>\n

How does Interrobang?! Digital work?
\nPlayers join a squad of investigators, who badly need your help.
\nDrawn into a thriller they follow leads, work out who to trust, and solve a case – with their \u2018superior officers\u2019 keeping them on track, or way off it! It offers a unique experience full of intriguing characters, interviews, challenges, moral quandaries and puzzles. <\/p>\n

This is theatre away from the theatre and gaming away from the console.
