After a lovely break spent with family and friends, we return to talk not only about the fun we had over the last few weeks but also to chat about recent adventures at San Diego Comic-Con & Knott's Berry Farm's annual interactive summer event - Ghost Town Alive!Support the Show.Heroes of the Halcyon on InstagramTheme Music ("Digital Discourse") by Yellow BarrelSend your email to heroesofthehalcyon@gmail.com - we'd love to hear from you about your journeys, episode suggestions, or just to say hi!

Galaxy's Edge is great and all, but... is it everything we hoped it would be? Join Bob and game designer Joe Mares as they take in Ghost Town Alive at Knott's Berry Farm, and then think about how Disney could incorporate some of those ideas to make Batuu the place we all want to be!

"I think being silly is really important." Playing pretend together is powerful stuff, and Andy Crocker knows this better than anyone. If you've experienced heartfelt shenanigans at Ghost Town Alive, or exchanged thrilling secrets in the engineering room aboard Star Wars Galactic Starcruiser, chances are you've come across Andy's work.  As an Immersive Performance Director, Andy's work involves creating unscripted moments that gives the audience a chance to dig into their inner silliness.  In addition to her work with Interactive Performance at theme park experiences, Andy is also one half of Mister and Mischief. They create what they call “fun-forward interactive experiences designed to delight audiences and turn strangers into pals.” Escape From Godot definitely fits the bill as a play that suddenly becomes an escape room. Their more recent 40 Watts from Nowhere turned the guests into pirate radio DJ's reliving the memories of Sue Carpenter, a kickass radio rebel.  Andy takes the business of being silly very seriously. Her enthusiasm for spreading the joy of make-believe is palpable. She designs her experience to create a safe space for the audience to indulge in childlike joy. The power of make-believe is real, and no one believes in it more than Andy Crocker.  If you want to see the magic for yourself, don't miss Andy's talk at RECON this August, and make sure to get tickets for Escape From Godot.   Timestamps & Full Show Notes   Episode Sponsors Thank you to our sponsors Morty, Buzzshot, COGS by Clockwork Dog, & RECON, the Reality Escape Convention:  Morty Morty is a free app for discovering, planning, tracking, and reviewing your escape rooms and other immersive social outings.  Morty News: Morty now features haunt attractions Morty for Android is here Special Badge for REPOD listeners: You can learn more at morty.app/REPOD to sign up and get a special badge for our listeners (works for existing users also).   Buzzshot Buzzshot is Escape Room Software, Powering Business Growth, Player Marketing, and improving the Customer Experience.

It's the dog days of August, and nothing screams summer more than theme parks, fried chicken, Star Wars, and ice cream... except for episode guest Mark Larson, but you'll have to listen to the end for that story. In this special release of a patron-exclusive bonus episode from S5E11, Peih-Gee and David discuss their recent trips to Disneyland's Galaxy's Edge and Knott's Berry Farm's Ghost Town Alive. We're joined by editor Steve Ewing and game designer Mark, who chats about his involvement with DASH: Different Area, Same Hunt, a global puzzle hunt. Mark also created the ridiculously fun Shop of Theseus game exclusively for RECON23. (Tickets are still available for this limited edition event.)     We start with fried chicken ice cream. Then Peih-Gee gives a short history of how Knott's Berry Farm grew from a roadside stand selling berries and fried chicken dinners to a massive theme park. She also discusses Ghost Town Alive, Knott's Berry Farm's interactive Western-themed experience, and the gang regales you with the hilarious story of Peih-Gee's unhinged rise to Mayor Law in Calico.  Mark Larson explains how DASH works, and we talk about some other approachable puzzle hunts. David raves about the ride Rise of the Resistance at Disneyland's Galaxy's Edge and talks about snagging some of the last tickets for the Galactic Starcruiser. He also discloses that his wife Lisa had never watched any of the Star Wars movies and breaks down her live reactions to watching them for the first time. We close out with a chat about the now-discontinued Battlestar Galactica board game.   Show Notes & Timestamps   Episode Sponsors Thank you to our sponsors:  Morty Morty is a free app for discovering, planning, tracking, and reviewing your escape rooms and other immersive social outings.

On our recent second voyage aboard Disney's Galactic Starcruiser, we spoke with one couple who had a great time but missed a fair amount of the interactive experiences aboard the ship. This led us to wonder - could Disney improve the process of "onboarding" folks to the experience and the alternate universe aboard the ship?When we thought of this topic, we quickly realized that there was no one better to talk to about this than immersive designer Nick Tierce. We spoke with Nick not only about how Disney can make improvements but also learned about other immersive/interactive experiences like "Sleep No More", Delusion, Ghost Town Alive at Knott's Berry Farm, and the various Meow Wolf installations & how the creators of these experiences bring people into their worlds of wonder.There are zero spoilers in this analytical discussion so everyone should enjoy listening!Hollow Medium Sleep No MoreDelusionGhost Town AliveMeow Wolf
