We’re so glad you asked! Edge of Elsewhere is a new concept in immersive entertainment filled with themed, interactive exhibits and artworks by local creators.
You can choose to explore, solve puzzles, follow narrative arcs, play games, and observe and socialize with your fellow players.
It’s an opportunity to enter the unknown, experiment with the world around you, and use your powers of curiosity, observation, and critical thinking to discover hidden stories.
We’ve strived to design and test our interactions to ensure they are engaging and accessible for all experience levels - whether you’ve done 100 escape rooms, or this is your first time at an immersive entertainment venue.
Edge of Elsewhere requires no specialized knowledge or skills; completing activities may involve utilizing a combination of visual, audio, and tactile cues, playing to many different strengths.
We say most interactions are best suited for groups of 3-6 people, but they can absolutely accommodate anywhere from 2-7. If you’re coming alone, there’s still tonnes to see, but a lot of the interactions require teamwork, so you may not be able to experience everything.
We think you can easily spend a full day here! It takes a little time to get into the flow, and there’s a lot to discover once you do. Not ready to commit to a full day? We also offer a 2-hour pass, and you can always upgrade to a full-day pass if you decide you want to stay longer.
Nope! You are free to wander and engage with the artwork and interactions as you desire.
Players of all ages are welcome!
In our experience, the complexities of the themes and interactions are best-suited for 14+, but there are layers for everyone to enjoy.
Anyone under 18 will need a parent or legal guardian to sign their waiver, but that adult can complete this step from the lobby. Anyone under 16 will need to be accompanied by an adult while in the venue.
We don’t offer any at this time, and ask that folks not to eat or drink inside the interactions. (You’ll likely want your hands free anyway 😉)
There is a bottle filler available, and we highly encourage hydration.
You are welcome to enjoy the many lovely eating and drinking establishments neighboring us on the Somernova campus!
Our space is wheelchair accessible, and we design with accessibility in mind. Many of our interactions use a mix of visual, audio, and tactile cues, and can be experienced in more than one way. If you have specific access needs or questions, reach out to us at hello@edgeofelsewhere.com before your visit and we’ll be happy to talk you through what to expect.
Absolutely! Service animals are always welcome. We do ask that non-service pets stay home, both for their comfort and for safety of the experience.
Yes! As long as your pass is active, you’re welcome to step out, grab a bite or get some air, and re-enter whenever you like.
Edge of Elsewhere is built on curiosity and discovery, not fear. There are no jump scares, and our staff and performers will never touch you or block your path. Some interactions use dim lighting, atmospheric sound, and flashing lights with strobe-like effects.
We’d love that! Edge of Elsewhere is a great fit for birthdays, team outings, and other celebrations. For groups of 10 or more, reach out to us at hello@edgeofelsewhere.com and we’ll help you plan.
Please do! We love seeing Edge of Elsewhere through your eyes, and photos and videos are absolutely encouraged. Tag us @exploretheelsewhere so we can find your posts and share the experience.
Not very! Edge of Elsewhere is designed to be enjoyed at your own pace, whether you’re on your feet or seated. Most interactions involve moving through the space and engaging with elements around you, and many interactions can be experienced in more than one way. If you have specific questions about what to expect, reach out to us at hello@edgeofelsewhere.com and we’ll happily talk you through the space.
We know the cost of a day out can add up quickly, and we really do want Edge of Elsewhere to be something as many people as possible can experience. We don’t offer individual discounts right now, but we’ve tried to keep our pass prices as reasonable as we can while still paying the local artists and creators who make this place possible.
If you’re coming with a larger group of 10 or more, please reach out to us at hello@edgeofelsewhere.com! We may be able to offer group pricing, and we’re always happy to see what we can do.
