The Challenge: Bringing a World to Life

Gemini wanted to celebrate with more than a party. They wanted an immersive, narrative-driven, meaningful experience that would create lasting memories and bring their team together in a unique way.

Our Handstand Magic: Hotel Leda

Hotel Leda blended mythic storytelling, retro arcades, and hidden puzzles with our layered experience design model (look β†’ touch β†’ solve). We created an engaging world based on the story of Leda, the mother of the Gemini twins.
As people followed their curiosity throughout the party, they were immersed in a world of secret messages, interactive swan nests, trap doors, and many, many surprise discoveries.
