James & Anna
We create story-driven experiences that invite people into public spaces, spark curiosity, and help them see familiar places in new ways.
About Us
We are an independent immersive experience design studio.
It's run by us, a husband-and-wife team
James brings more than ten years of experience across escape rooms, immersive theatre, and site activations. His approach combines storytelling, puzzles, and an understanding of how people move through and discover a place. For him, the motivation is personal: a childhood love of treasure hunts and the feeling that an ordinary environment could hold something magical. Creating that sense of possibility for others remains at the heart of his work.
Anna brings a background in counselling and psychotherapy, contributing a thoughtful understanding of how people take in information and engage with an experience. She helps shape the pace of discovery, revealing information in manageable pieces so players have room to explore, make choices, and find their own way through the story.
Together, we design for meaningful connection with a place, with a story, and with yourself.
Players have told us they discovered unfamiliar places and stories in Fremantle despite having lived there for more than twenty years.
That renewed curiosity is what we hope to inspire: a deeper affection for the world around you, and the possibility of finding something extraordinary close to home.
