The Getaway is a game I developed based on surrealist and escapist themes. The idea of running away to a ‘fantasy’ only to find that the space is not what you had envisioned. It combines play with thrill in a game of escaping the Getaway.
Students and staff were up for the challenge of wearing the 'light gloves' and entering a very claustrophobic space. On entering, they loose their sense of place and are completely immersed into a world of mystery and surrealism.
It was a fun journey designing and building this game. To watch people enjoy a space I built and being completely absorbed into finding their way out was an unforgettable experience.
