Electric Playhouse creates educational, interactive, and immersive environments that get people moving, learning, playing, and connecting together.
We work with museums, schools, community centers, public spaces, and businesses to transform ordinary spaces into unforgettable shared experiences.
More than half a million guests have enjoyed our experiences, across our own venues and our partners' installations. Nearly 20 installations delivered across 10 cities in the US and Canada, for partners including the Georgia O'Keeffe Museum, Pointe-à-Callière, AREA15, and the Boston Museum of Science.

Technology should bring us together.
Screens are everywhere. But too often, they pull our attention away from the people and places around us.We believe technology can do the opposite.
Our mission is to get people of all ages off their phones and into shared experiences where they can move, learn, explore, laugh, collaborate, and connect in the real world.
We use technology to create moments that are physical, social, educational, and fun!
We combine motion tracking, projection, sound, original content, custom software, game design, and spatial storytelling to create environments that respond to the people inside them.
Visitors do not simply watch the experience. They become part of it.

Visit Albuquerque: an immersive city pop-up staged in New York
We converted Garfield Middle School's auxiliary gymnasium into a fully immersive, 3,500-square-foot interactive learning environment. Fourteen high-output Epson projectors activate every wall and the entire floor, and depth-mapping technology makes the whole room responsive to how students move through it.Because a school can't staff an AV department, the build prioritized reliability: a centralized equipment rack, custom high-performance PCs, and a remote support system that lets us diagnose and resolve most issues without a site visit.
Garfield is also where we develop. It's our active testbed — new content goes into a room full of middle schoolers before it goes to a partner, which is the most demanding quality assurance available. Nothing reveals an edge case faster than a twelve-year-old who has decided to find one.
Specs: 3,500 sq ft · 14 Epson projectors · Every wall and full floor · Centralized rack, custom PCs, remote support
Montréal's laneways are a real piece of the city's identity and almost impossible to put in a display case. Working with Pointe-à-Callière and Exhibits Development Group, we turned them into somewhere visitors could actually go.Alley Oop transforms the museum's gallery into an immersive, motion-activated playground across five interactive zones. Visitors move, jump, and play through nine games and ten interactive visuals while discovering the history, culture, seasonal shifts, and natural life of the alleyways.
It reached an international audience at one of Canada's major history museums, and it demonstrated that our platform carries a specific, locally-rooted curatorial story rather than a generic one.
It's open now, and we'd encourage you to go see it. If you're evaluating us, an hour in a working installation tells you more than any deck.
Specs: 5 zones · 9 games · 10 interactive visuals · Motion-activated, no wearables
Teatime in Wonderland was an immersive high tea adventure inspired by Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, built around live performance, interactive tables, and a menu where every course reflected the narrative. The Mad Hatter and the White Rabbit worked from original scripts and improvised with guests; celebrity pastry chef Keris Kuwana developed the pastry program.Blooloop ranked it among the top immersive experiences in the world in 2025. No Proscenium called it "a dreamy, delicious option." It held a 5-star Google rating, and coverage of it drew more than three million combined views.
We developed and ran it ourselves, which means the production is proven rather than proposed: the script, the service choreography, the technical system, and the pacing were all refined against real guests over a full operating run. It is available now to license and stage in your venue, adapted to your room, your kitchen, and your service model.
Specs: Interactive tables and environment · Live performance with original scripts · Narrative-matched menu · Complete production available for licensing
EP Travels debuted at the American Alliance of Museums Annual Meeting and has since been hosted by the Boston Museum of Science, Exploration Place, the Michigan Science Center, and THEMUSEUM.
At the Michigan Science Center it anchored Level Up, an 8,000-square-foot exhibition on how games build problem-solving and collaboration. At THEMUSEUM we delivered The Five Senses: Sight across a 20'×30' gallery — three walls activated, ceiling-mounted depth sensors, high-performance graphics PCs, closed network, custom calibration, seven months from contract into ongoing support.
Four institutions, four different footprints, one exhibition.
Specs: 2,500–3,000 sq ft typical · Adapts 20'×30' to 8,000 sq ft · Hands-free · Closed network
With AREA15 and Creative Director Chris Wink, we built Brainstorm — an interactive, post-apocalyptic installation centered on a large-scale, projection-mapped brain. Through movement, touch, and a touchscreen kiosk, visitors activate the brain's reaction centers and trigger an evolving range of visual responses. The generative system produces nearly infinite patterns, so the installation is never quite the same twice, which is what keeps a Las Vegas attraction viable across repeat visits.
Specs: Projection-mapped sculptural centerpiece · Movement, touch, and kiosk interaction · Generative visual system

Launches, offsites, and activations where your identity runs through the entire environment, not just a logo on a screen.
Whole-room interactive learning environments with curriculum-aligned content, staff training, and remote support — built for spaces with no dedicated AV team.
One space. A lot of possibilities. A single Electric Playhouse installation can support:
Because the experience is powered by software and projection, the same room can transform again and again without rebuilding the physical space.
That flexibility helps organizations serve more audiences, deliver more programs, and create more value from one installation.
The best interactive experiences are not driven by technology alone. They begin with a strong story, a clear purpose, and an understanding of the people the experience is meant to reach.
Our process is highly collaborative. We work closely with your team to shape the narrative, define the audience journey, and explore how people should move, learn, play, and connect within the space.
Launch quickly by leveraging our existing library of proven experiences. A fast, efficient path for clients who need strong results with minimal development time.
