Otherworld Philly aims to bring Burning Man art and immersive art to the Northeast

Northeast Philadelphia is slated to get a new immersive experience this winter, and its creators want you to think of it as Burning Man crossed with an escape room, with a taste of a children’s museum and a haunted house.

In an introductory video, Otherworld Philly shows viewers how the aesthetics of trippy video games and circus funhouse will be spread across 55 rooms.

The Columbus, Ohio, company, which opened its first venue there in spring 2019, signed off on a 10-year lease for about 45,000 square feet (40,000 of which will go to installations) at 2500 Grant Ave.
