Next Show: Fall 2026

We are taking a little time off after our February show to rest and regroup.

But don't worry, we've already begun brainstorming the story for the next installment of 8 Seasons.

Our goal is to open the next show in the Fall of 2026.

What is 8 Seasons?

8 Seasons is an episodic immersive theater show with an escape room twist.

We like to call this kind of experience Puzzle Theater, because it blends the joy of solving puzzle-driven mysteries with the emotional connection that only live-actor immersive theater can bring.

The world of 8 Seasons is inspired by Celtic mythology, Neopagan traditions and the tragic witch burnings that happened in Europe in the 1600s. People who lived outside the bounds and expectations of the culture in power were hunted and often killed, much like is happening in the U.S. today. However, despite the dark setting, 8 Seasons is ultimately about Queer joy and following your own true north back to yourself.

The diverse group includes men and women of various ages and backgrounds, with sketches, props, and coffee cups scattered across the table, set in a warmly lit backstage studio.

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

"Puzzle Theater: brilliantly creative and interactive!"

— Miranda Thomas, Guest

"I had such a great time and am so excited to see more shows in this world!"

— EJ Becker, Guest

"We had a fantastic time. We've done a ton of immersives of all sizes from Sweet and Lucky here in Denver to Sleep no More and the Galactic Starcruiser and we had such a great time at 8 Seasons! Can't wait to see what you come up with next!"

— Annette Shoemaker, Guest

"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

"8 Seasons was a fun and collaborative immersive show, and I think earns the title invention of "Puzzle Theater" - loved getting to solve things together with an audience of strangers. I'm excited to see how more of their work develops! (Plus, their masks are cool.)

— Soleil.onstage, Guest
