Project Description
Escape: The Grimm, stage design and masterplanning
Insomniac Events, 2019
In 2019 Leisure Expert Group celebrated their 6th year as Insomniac’s official design partner by masterplanning and designing the stages for Escape festival. To create the perfect experience for this Halloween themed event, a new master plan was produced in which the guest journey was envisioned to the smallest detail. The master plan, based on a newly written storyline, included new themed area’s with stage design, costuming and other experience elements. From there we developed the festival into reality together with the talented team at Insomniac Events and we are proud of the amazing result.

The Grimm Stage
To truly amaze guests, we looked into the latest revelations and developments in stage design. The main stage at Escape is always located inside a megastructure tent. This allowed us to think about the stage as being an indoor venue, which enabled us to use a system of winches and pulleys to give the Grimm unique movements.
Crazy town at Escape 2019
To make the experience for guests complete, the show and entertainment programming for the crazy town area was filled in under our directions. In this area guests could take a break from dancing and enjoy the other experiences Escape 2019 had to offer. This included amongst others the different characters walking around the fountain of lost souls, the silent disco macabre and the shop experience at Poison Ivy.
