Heresy: 1897
The first in a trilogy of inter-connected immersive shows, rooted in the escape room tradition.
Alchemy. Astronomy. White Magic. The Order of the Three Keys is the most powerful organization you’ve never heard of- until now. Join their ranks, and investigate the heretical experiments of Edmond Cavanaugh- a man whose actions reverberate though time itself. Your choices will determine what you encounter as you dig deeper into his manor. Powerful elixirs, long-forgotten demons, experiments with the nature of life itself: you may encounter all of these, or something else entirely. But be warned- the Order’s Proctors will oversee your progress. Convince them of your intentions, and they will come to your aid. But stray from the Order’s tenets, and your story may take a different path. The choices, as always, are yours. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ DOORS OF WHAT NOW? Doors of Divergence is an immersive entertainment company specializing in narrative escape rooms. We design, build, and operate our own original scenarios, each of which has branching narratives that continue episodically from room to room. We give our audiences a unique experience that responds, in real time, to the choices they make. WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT FROM OTHER ESCAPE ROOM COMPANIES? PROFESSIONAL ACTORS We believe that the traditional “game master in another room” model is passé. We hire professional actors to engage the audience in a story that adapts to them. REPLAYABILITY Every major choice an audience makes diverts their story down a new path. There are over thirty unique playthroughs to our three room story arc, making every single time you play a brand new experience. THEATRICAL AND IMMERSIVE We aim to transport you to a completely different reality. Enter our doors and leave your previous life behind- immersive set design and theatrical lighting and sound will make you forget the outside world ever existed. DOORS OF DIVERGENCE: Our worlds.
