smART! XTRA // ILLUSIONS

500 HUF
Do you like brain-teasing challenges? Want to take a short excursion into the land of eye-catching optical illusions? Then close the door of the Magic Box behind you and use your creativity to find the way out!

We are celebrating the 20th edition of the smART! XTRA series with a space-specific installation and interactive performance, inspired by the dramaturgy of escape room games. During the guided adventure tour, visitors will need to solve some technological rebuses and find their way out of a locked Trafóklub.

Helsinki-based InsideOut Escape Games, the curators of the Hungarian Visionhouse exhibition, and the amazing visual and light projection magicians LaLuz Visuals, invite the audience on a journey into a universe of holograms, digital slides and UV-reactive objects. Accompanied by Ágnes Kaszás and Lidia Bäck, who will manipulate the physical environment in a unique way using their live presence, as well as analogue and high tech props, participants will become characters in the story itself.

InsideOut Escape Games (FI)

Finnish-based InsideOut Escape Games offers real-life escape room game experiences. Small groups are locked into one of their specially-designed theme rooms, and have to rack their brains to solve puzzles, find clues and use the objects around them to escape from the room in time. No special skills are needed, only teamwork, creativity and a spirit of fun!
