A Holiday Party Comes to Life with the Surprise-Filled Hotel Leda
Client
What the customers say:
"My team and I have loved everything you guys have done this year! We can't wait to see what happens next year."
The Challenge: Bringing a World to Life
Gemini wanted to celebrate with more than a party. They wanted an immersive, narrative-driven, meaningful experience that would create lasting memories and bring their team together in a unique way.
Our Handstand Magic: Hotel Leda
Hotel Leda blended mythic storytelling, retro arcades, and hidden puzzles with our layered experience design model (look → touch → solve). We created an engaging world based on the story of Leda, the mother of the Gemini twins.
As people followed their curiosity throughout the party, they were immersed in a world of secret messages, interactive swan nests, trap doors, and many, many surprise discoveries.
