As seen on
“The Twenty Sided Tavern is an improvised quest play. Relying on audience participation, each performance is uniquely tailored to decisions made by audience members on their phones using patented software from Gamiotics. Audience members choose which characters will appear each evening, as well as which paths they will take, and which decisions they will make along the journey. The in-mobile-browser platform does not require any special consoles, instead running on audience members’ phones.”
“Gamiotics Studios, the emerging leader in real-time audience engagement, has seen unprecedented success during its sophomore presentation of The Twenty-Sided Tavern, a live-action Dungeons and Dragons style interactive adventure that played to sold-out houses at The Asylum NYC in New York City. The show is part of a growing stable of products and experiences powered by Gamiotics who is leading the live entertainment market in audience engagement through browser-based software. Preceding the New York production, The Twenty-Sided Tavern premiered in Philadelphia as part of Philly Fringe to rave reviews.”
“The clown incursion began as a stealth operation, first with one and then another peering tentatively out at us from the wings. Intermission music was still playing, and the audience still milling, as the clowns assembled, until gradually a whole pack of them (a gaggle? a murder? a herd?) stood at the lip of the stage, gazing quizzically at us.
They looked so shy, so endearingly perplexed in their green overcoats and silly moth-eaten caps, the long earflaps out at an angle, as if the air had lofted them mid-flight. Surely these are harmless creatures, no? Surely if one of the clowns in ‘Slava’s Snowshow’ should appear silently at your side, wanting to climb into the crowd and surf the seat backs, the decent thing to do is offer a hand?”
“PUFFS – presented by Tilted Windmills Theatricals (John Arthur Pinckard & David Carpenter) – takes a hilarious second look at everyone’s favorite world of wizards through the eyes of the Puffs, a lovable group of magical misfits. After the recent transfer, the sold-out sensation was hailed as ‘funny and affectionate,’ by Time Out New York, which added ‘there’s heart as well as humor here.’ The New Yorker says “the audience nearly weeps with joy.'”
