Created by Scout Expedition Co. Presented by Hatch "...A DRAMATIC AND EMOTIONAL EXPERIENCE THAT IS UTTERLY UNIQUE." -The Verge A woman named Josie has recently passed away, leaving behind a storage room filled with decades of collected memories and cryptic secrets. Remnants of her entire life are all here in one place - left for you to discover. As a young girl growing up in the 1960's, Josie was gifted a tape recorder and began documenting every part of her life. But in her old age, she has become almost unrecognizable, warped by the tragic events of her past. The Nest is an intimate, live experience for up to 4 guests at a time, combining elements of immersive theater, narrative video games, serialized podcasts, and escape rooms into a new way to experience a story. You'll be equipped with a flashlight as you search through personal effects, explore your surroundings, and listen to audio cassettes to piece together the dramatic narrative of Josie's life. "...SURREAL, HEARTBREAKING AND BEAUTIFUL. IT IS ART YOU CAN WALK THROUGH." -NPR "The Nest" has been featured in The Verge, NPR, Forbes, the LA Times Festival of Books, the Immersive Design Summit, and was recently honored with a Thea award - the premier awards for theme park, museum, and immersive projects.

Audience Role

Once inside, guests explore the environment and make choices that affect the outcome of the experience. It's kind of like being a character in a movie or video game. There are no live actors in the experience, and experience the narrative through audio cassette narration. While dark and mysterious, the experience is not a scary one and does not have any jump scares. While there are escape room elements, this is not an escape room. There is no winning or losing; everyone gets to the end. The focus for guests is taking their time to soak up as much of story as possible.... Show More

We believe that escape rooms represent a new and unique artistic medium. We believe that people are tired of digital experiences, of spending the whole day tethered to their phones and their computers. We love escape rooms because they're physical and analog, because they require communication and collaboration. We believe that escape rooms represent a new and unique artistic medium.
