Greater Philadelphia Film Office

After 4 years of creating wildly imaginative entertainment in Orlando, Los Angeles, and New York, Pseudonym Productions has returned to Philadelphia to debut a series of revolutionary new immersive experiences. Under the artistic vision of designers who have developed world-class entertainment for Disney, Universal, and many more themed attractions, Pseudonym Productions will debut its first productions in Pennsylvania this Fall.

For the Philadelphia Fringe Festival, we will begin with a limited-run immersive experience that shares a name with Pseudonym’s company tagline: Question Reality. Inside, players (audience members) will embark on a journey into another realm – a vibrant world filled with intriguing characters and mysteries to discover. From there, every visitor will have the opportunity to explore and descend down endless rabbit holes to unearth new adventures.

For October: Pseudonym will debut a new immersive Halloween experience unlike any other. Throughout the month of October, players will enter a foreboding world of psychological thrills  – where nothing is ever as it seems.

Pseudonym Productions aims to connect people together in meaningful, unexpected ways. We feel no different about bringing our cast of performers together. We celebrate inclusion and are committed to diversity in the workplace.
