Interrobang?! Digital

A ‘THEATRE-MEETS-ONLINE-GAMING' EXPERIENCE

Interrobang?!  or 'The Curious Departure of Dustin Spektor’  is a genre-busting Murder Mystery:
part immersive experience, part detective game 
Interrobang?! draws players into a real time thriller to become investigators tasked with solving a shadowy murder case.
Interrobang uses a unique combination of dynamic QR codes, bespoke web technology and bitesize theatre to create an experiment in interactive, enveloping storytelling,  gaming away from the console and theatre away from the theatre... if you like. 
Our ongoing aim, as ever, is to make theatre more accessible, immediate and appealing to a wider non-traditional audience.
Thanks to all our supporters of the successful crowdfunder in Spring 2021 we were able to run initial testing- their generosity was extraordinary in the midst of rolling pandemic lockdowns..
and thanks to Arts Council England Culture Recovery Fund #HereForCulture, we moved into the next phase to develop the experience further.

Originally created by Kate Hargreaves & Barry McStay many years ago, Interrobang?! Digital has since been developed by Hargreaves, Kathryn McGarr, Hetty Burton and Tom Wright

For residents and visitors to Brentford there is a partner experience Interrobang?! Local- hunt down the Interrobang?! newspaper at the Watermans Theatre, Brentford or around participating venues in the local area.
