THE TRAITORS
JFI Productions continued its successful multi-year partnership with Peacock, bringing The Traitors Experience to Los Angeles and New York transforming the hit series into a high-demand immersive activation.
Fans stepped inside the world of The Traitors, navigating richly designed environments and participating in interactive, multi-sensory missions that mirrored the intrigue and suspense of the show. With sold-out engagements, widespread buzz, and dynamic narrative gameplay, the activation highlighted the enduring strength of a four-year-and-counting collaboration—and the powerful impact of merging experiential storytelling with a beloved television franchise.
GLASS ONION
JFI partnered with Netflix and NVE Experiential to create a bespoke Knives Out murder-mystery experience, hosted by Janelle Monae. JFI traveled from Los Angeles to Atlanta to New York City with an original murder-mystery dinner event, capturing the whodunnit essence of award-winning film GLASS ONION. This 2 hour curated and choreographed evening featured a cast of 9 (including Janelle Monae), and had a table of tastemakers (like director Rian Johnson) gasping and giggling all the way to an explosive finale.
MERGE MANSION
In Spring 2023, JFI partnered with Metacore to create a live immersive experience for the wildly popular mobile game Merge Mansion. Along with Reaktor, Jack Morton Worldwide, and Scout Expedition Co., JFI curated, facilitated, and managed a gamified hour-long show, heavy on surprising and delightful characters, lush and vibrant scenic designs, and escape room-esque puzzles. The experience took over an iconic 18000 square foot, 1920s mansion (the Paramour Estate) inviting high-profile guests like Pedro Pascal and Jesse Williams, as well as die-hard fans of the Merge Mansion universe.
STAR TREK: STRANGE NEW WORLDS
In San Diego’s historic Gaslamp Quarter, JFI Productions transformed the streets into a living stage as fans experienced five immersive “strange new worlds” inspired by Star Trek: Strange New Worlds’ genre-bending episodes — a journey through sci-fi mayhem: a noir murder mystery, a space zombie outbreak, a ’60s retro spy mission, and even a Vulcan wedding ceremony. Choreographed by our very own Stephanie Turek, this intricately curated spectacle was far more than a performance: it was an invitation to boldly go where audiences hadn’t gone before, journeying through space and time.
I KNOW WHAT YOU DID LAST SUMMER
JFI brought to life the Amazon Original Series I KNOW WHAT YOU DID LAST SUMMER as a mysterious, subversive, debaucherous interactive experience. The new series follows a group of teens bound together by a dark secret & stalked by a brutal killer. Guests of the experience were welcomed into a small town celebrating its graduating class, starting with an exhilarated party and culminating in a dark and twisted journey through an unforgettable 60-minute dark ride.
NOPE
JFI partnered with MONKEYPAW and Universal Studios to unveil the “Jupiter’s Claim” set from the hit summer blockbuster NOPE, on the iconic Universal backlot. With a cast of 30+ performers, JFI created an unforgettable night of games, wild-west thrills and extraterrestrial chills for invited guests and cast & crew of the film to introduce JUPITER’S CLAIM, a now-permanent part of the Universal Studios tour.
HALLOWEEN KILLS
In conjunction with the press junket for the premiere of HALLOWEEN KILLS, JFI partnered with Universal to bring this iconic IP to life. JFI presented a killer Halloween loaded with scares, stunts, and atmospheric SPX. The iconic Colonial Drive on the Universal backlot was transformed into Haddonfield. Guests boarded the backlot tram & went on a guided 25 minute hunt for Michael Myers on a carnage-filled trick-or-treated-to-death suburban street, culminating in a showdown with the Shape himself. The 2 day event garnered over 21M impressions!
FX SDCC — ALIEN: EARTH
For San Diego ComicCon, JFI Productions helped to craft a chilling, atmospheric sneak peek of FX’s Alien:Earth. A cinematic crash site covering the expanse of the Hilton Bayfront lawn, “The Wreckage” took guests on an atmospheric journey inside the damaged vessel, filled with expertly crafted twists and turns. JFI Productions’ trademark storytelling expertise provided an award-winning glimpse into the world of Alien:Earth, a month before its release.
NOBODY
NOBODY ESCAPES brought the Universal Pictures’ box-office hit, Nobody, to life. Guests drove up & down “Wisteria Lane,” following a suburban vigilante as he took down the bad guys in a stunt-filled, high-octane lights-&-sound extravaganza. JFI partnered with iHeartComix & stunt outfit 87Eleven to create this innovative and dynamic return to immersive entertainment for the post-pandemic world. The event resulted in over 280 social posts with a reach of 2.8M.
SUITE 19
Overbrook Entertainment approached JFI to create a personalized theatrical show for Willow Smith's 19th Birthday. Entitled SUITE 19, this 20-minute original walk-thru experience was a story-laden, scare-filled, luxuriously-outfitted journey through the Paramour Estate in Los Feliz. Featuring over 30 actors, magicians, caricature artists, palm-readers and more, the show spilled out into the party entertaining almost 300 guests over the course of the evening.
