A Glimpse at the World of 8 Seasons
What is 8 Seasons?
An exploration of Puzzle Theater, a new kind of experience that is part escape room and part immersive theater.
Be transported into Forcythia's Odyssey, a Celtic-inspired myth about a Queer witch's journey to connect with the land and herself, all while evading the Witch Hunters chasing her everywhere she goes.
Why Choose 8 Seasons?
True Immersion
Do you want to be part of the story? Do you want the characters to talk to you and engage you to solve the story itself?
Live Actors
No screens, yelling at a digital recording or trying to talk to the game master through a microphone. Real actors, improvised dialogue, unique experiences.
More Than an Escape Room
Do you want to solve puzzles that are part of a larger story, that move the narrative forward, and do more than just unlock the next box?

Voices from Past Audiences
"I had the chance to visit an escape room by Risking Joy Productions and I have to say it was one of the most creative in-person events I've been to in quite some time. It was truly an immersive experience with live actors, difficult puzzles, and interesting easter eggs that left me surprised at every turn. I can't wait to see what they do next!
— Josh Maranian, Guest

What if I haven't been to one of the earlier shows?
Each 8 seasons show is designed to be a satisfying standalone experience. However, for our returning guests, there is a larger story arc being told over the course of the six different shows during the year. Returning to future shows will allow you to follow and be part of Forcythia's story as it unfolds over the course of 2026. We will share the core story of what has happened in previous shows at the beginning of your show to bring you up to speed.
