This weekend marks the final days of Universal Studios Hollywood's Fan Fest Nights, a new event that plays out like a mix of Universal's Halloween Horror Nights and Disney's Star Wars Night, complete with pop-up attractions and lots of fans turning up in cosplay. The net result is an amusing evening out that doesn't quite hit the highs of its influences, but takes some really big swings that are enjoyable in and of themselves.

Danielle Riha - Denver CuratorMy favorite use of immersive storytelling is as a fun escape from the terrors of our real world, not leaning into them. Using it as a tool to explore historical events has never resonated with me because my role isn't usually central to the story and interactivity often takes a backseat; it's the performative equivalent of sitting in a history classroom, which I find boring and uninspiring.

Kathryn Yu, Senior LA ReviewerThe Ladder is kind of like someone took a branching narrative video game with multiple endings and mashed it up with an escape room. But also there's a bunch of mini games. And there's a team goal to earn as much money as you can in the time allotted by playing the easy to learn but often hard to master mini games. But it's still an escape room, kind of. And it's replayable. Oh, and the story changes depending upon if you solve the puzzles or not. Got it?
