In this podcast episode, I chat with Dean Rogers, founder of Rogue Productions, a theatre company that makes games, or a game company that makes theatre, depending on who you ask... Either way, they’re all about letting audiences play! They make award-winning escape games, immersive theatre, treasure hunts, experiential events, interactive plays. 

Dean is a pioneer of immersive entertainment. He has been behind some of London’s biggest immersive successes and some of his previous work includes the hit immersive theft experience Heist which he co-created with difference Engine, Time Run and The Crystal Maze Live Experience.

Dean talks about how his experience in acting and being involved in the creation of escape rooms like the heist, where participants needed to escape a three-storey building with a stolen painting!

Dean talks about his recent launch -The Perfect Crime. The Perfect Crime will combine immersive theatre, live, action, a gripping storyline, problem and puzzle solving and a race against the clock. From the creators of the sell-out ‘Heist', this is guaranteed to be another truly unique immersive experience!

We talk about what makes a great immersive experience, the perfect price, the best group size and what makes a good Kickstarter campaign. This is definitely one to listen to.
