Atelier Daruma delivers free-roam XR storytelling that combines artistic vision with operational efficiency. Designed for groups of up to 12, their experiences transform spaces into living narratives enriched by lighting, sound, and interactive set design. With adaptable footprints and 20–30 minute runtimes, they achieve strong throughput while maintaining a premium cultural experience. Guests leave with lasting emotional impact and often return to explore again. For operators, Atelier Daruma offers a unique balance of high-capacity entertainment and artistic storytelling that attracts diverse audiences and builds long-term loyalty.
Atelier Daruma specializes in crafting immersive, story-driven XR experiences that balance artistic creativity with scalable operations. Their free-roam installations are designed to transport guests into fully realized worlds where narrative, interactivity, and environment blend seamlessly. Each production emphasizes storytelling depth, often inspired by myth, culture, or abstract concepts, making them suitable for audiences looking for more than just thrills.
The play areas are adaptable, ranging from 100 to 300 square meters, accommodating groups of up to 12 participants simultaneously. This flexibility allows operators to scale throughput while maintaining an intimate and engaging atmosphere. Experiences typically run 20–30 minutes, enabling high daily capacity without sacrificing immersion. Environmental effects such as dynamic lighting, spatialized audio, and set pieces enhance the realism, giving participants the sense of being inside a living story.
What sets Atelier Daruma apart is its focus on replayable content and strong emotional resonance. Guests leave with the feeling that they have participated in a narrative rather than observed it, encouraging return visits and strong word-of-mouth. The experiences appeal to both leisure seekers and cultural audiences, making them a fit for museums, cultural institutions, and entertainment venues.
For operators, Atelier Daruma’s offerings provide a distinctive blend of art and accessibility. The flexible footprint, balanced throughput, and narrative richness help venues stand out while ensuring consistent revenue streams through repeat visits.
