Explore the Conference
We assembled three full floors of exhibition booths for conference attendees to peruse, from a science lab demonstrating the latest in dreamtech research to a retail company selling whimsical products for people to stay fit while sleeping. We had a custom dream design stage where participants could act out custom dream orders under the direction of our esteemed curators, and through it all, the main stage hosted lightning talks explaining the intricacies of dreamware.
Be in the middle of the story
By the time Somna’s Chief Marketing Officer gives his welcome speech, it’s clear something has gone wrong. Maybe this dream isn’t as safe as we’ve been told. Solve puzzles to operate override the dream controls. Break into the security room to find evidence against Somna. Dig deeper and you’ll find ways to be the hero of the story that’s only just begun.
Performance and Interaction
Dreamspace was part immersive theater, part exploratory world, and part puzzle adventure. Interact with Somna’s employees, learn about our products, listen to the tech talks, and solve puzzles to win the day.
