What makes it immersive
The audience may move through spaces, follow performers, explore scenes, sit at tables, solve mysteries, or influence the experience. Sometimes you are still mostly observing. Sometimes the production has plans for your emotional calendar.
Risk words
Interactive, participatory, promenade, site-specific, dinner experience, mystery, secret mission, choose your path, and role-play all raise the DontPikMe risk read.
Seat advice
If seating exists, choose rear or side positions away from aisles and performer paths. If there is no assigned seat, decide whether the format itself is acceptable before buying.
