In one room, for example, there are 1920s rubber hose style characters (right) lit in sepia tone, but when a coffin in the room is opened, the lights go up and colors start to appear while blow-up flowers begin to inflate. While exploring, it’s hard to miss the attention to detail being taken by the team of artists. There are so many strange components within the installation, like crawling through tunnels to get to different rooms, interacting with lighting, and going inside a giant Narwhal-esque monster’s mouth, that truly make each room a wild experience.

The moment that you walk through the doors of Otherworld, you’re transported to this sort of fantasy land mixed with haunted house mixed with sci-fi movie set.

“The goal is that Otherworld feels like a fully immersive environment with lots of different ways to enjoy it,” he said. “For guests who are looking for some puzzles, there are a few pieces of the exhibit that have extra fun parts that can only be unlocked by collecting certain runes hidden throughout the exhibit.” “For guests who are interested in learning more about the story behind the exhibit, lots of clues, story fragments, articles, interviews, and video diaries are spread throughout the exhibit,” Umland later said in an email.

The experience is similar to that of a choose-your-own adventure story - there’s no right way to do it. And after a little over a year of planning, a year-and-a-half of building, this 25,000-square foot immersive art installation opened May 24 (and yes, there is a parking lot).
