I'm getting Unnovations and CNNNN/SNL fake advert vibes about this :-)

But wait, there's more. Not only do you get corny videos, but there's a free website too!

This even sells the fake products. Stranger and stranger.

This looks like an interesting, odd place to visit in Vegas, along with Portals Bermuda.

Feel burnt out on this kind of shit, well executed but unoriginal landfill.

This is by Meow Wolf, who famously created a huge walkthrough arts attraction in Santa Fe. The Vegas installation's been around for a year or two, I expect this online stuff is just promotion for that. I haven't been to either yet, but people seem to love Meow Wolf.

I'm quite familiar with the "immersive experience" scene in the US, so it's surreal to see this turn up in Comedy Chat!

Yep, scratch the surface and there's nothing there.

Good luck to 'em, I say. I wish we had immersive art installations here as good as this.

It seems to be a weird, artistic, twisted Disneyworld. Some interesting background here:

You've got Punchdrunk, who are pretty much the GOAT when it comes to modern immersive stuff! Granted it's more "theater" than art installation, and their biggest long-running production is in New York, but they've got a new one coming to London next year: https://www.punchdrunk.com/

You've also got smaller things like this which I hear are good, although they're more exclusive and seem to be far "artsier": https://waldorfproject.com
