Paradiso (immersive theater experience)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Paradiso is an immersive theater experience and interactive game that was created by Michael Counts.[1] The first chapter opened in New York City in July 2016 with potential for another four chapters.[2] Counts drew inspiration from Paradiso from Dante's Divine Comedy and the experience features elements of crime noir.[3]
The first chapter's premise places ten participants in a locked apartment that they must escape while also evading the Virgil Corporation, a shadowy crime gang.[4] Players must solve puzzles within a certain span of time, otherwise they will not be able to complete the entire experience. Special effects such as 3D technology and actors are used during the experience to enhance game play.[3]
